Terrified Beverly Hills residents are flocking to buy guns from city’s only firearms store as LA crime soars thanks to woke DA’s policies
daily mail ^

Beverly Hills Guns has seen upscale residents from Santa Monica to the Hollywood Hills increasingly buying guns amid a rise in crime

•Many are self-declared progressives, who've never even held a gun before, but who've been spooked by soaring crime in their ritzy neighborhood

•Some have also discussed more elaborate security measures, such as armored cars, safe rooms and bulletproof glass

•Hollywood's violent crime rate is up 25 percent over last year, with the homicide rate doubling and shootings up 54.2 percent over last year

•The city has been plagued by a rash in slash-and-grab lootings that first began after Black Lives Matter protests ended with a riot on Rodeo Drive

•More recently, a man taking out his garbage on Thursday was attacked by four or five suspects and his disabled son was zip-tied as they ransacked his home

•Beverly Hills has now hired two private security firms to patrol neighborhoods alongside the police

•Residents are also forming their own patrol groups as District Attorney George Gascon faces another recall effort for the rise in crime

Lol. They have to wait a couple of weeks to get the gun and it is a felony for anyone to loan a gun. They voted for it. They got it.

Burn Beverly Hills.

And all this time I thought guns killed people.

Isn’t that what these hypocrites have been telling us?

SPIT!

Don’t they need a permit in California?

Difficult (possibly impossible) to find trashy people in Beverly Hills. It remains affluent.

Just hire Alec Baldwin to guard them, he’s really good at shooting people.

Who cares? The residents of Beverly Hills are getting exactly what they have been voting for over the years. They have sown to the wind, let them reap the whirlwind. One reaps what one sows.

Another reason why Atlas Shrugged is now nonfiction.

Exactly. Zero amount of sympathy for them.

Just pass a law making Beverly Hills a Gun Free Zone.
The criminals will instantly be deterred, and Viola' -
the problem will be solved just like that!

Stroke of the pen - law of the land - peace and civility - ZAP!

Liberal Happiness Restored in an Instant! - Ahhhhh.....

More conservatives live in BH than you think. I personally know more than a few of them. In fact BH was ground zero for the pro-Trump demonstrations last year.

Granny is the only gun owner in Beverly Hills.

Jethro and Ellie May may know how to shoot, though.

Reason number 10 million to leave California.

You can own guns but there is a waiting period. Even for rifles. If you buy a gun from another citizen you have to go to a gun store and have them do the background check and paperwork just like it was a new gun.

It’s sure helped the crime rates in Kalifornia! /s

“Granny is the only gun owner in Beverly Hills.”

corrected:

Granny is the only shotgun owner in Beverly Hills.

Good luck to them in finding a firearm, ammo, (plus being able to afford the costs, taxes and fees) and permission to own one. Then, they are going to need training.
