Stop and frisk would be a proper form of gun control.
Urban ‘Rat Utopias are the primary area of interest.
Illegal gunz and illegal voting are apparently hand-maidens.
Increased crime is obviously a reason for more gun buying (there’s a line around my local gun store almost every day).
But...
Could the increase in gun sales possibly be b/c we don’t like the path the government is on?
I’m concerned with the lack of training opportunities for those 8 Million first time gun owners.
“It could be that criminals fear an armed law-abiding population and are responding in kind.”
The writer is missing the point. People don’t spend money just for the he(( of it. They work too hard for it.
But the major point the writer is missing is that crime was the reason for buying guns. If liberals are going to decrease the capacity of police across the country with their years of efforts like they’ve displayed, then the citizen will have to be proactive. So crime goes up, guns are purchased. But as crime goes down for fear of those guns, it doesn’t alleviate the need for the guns because if the guns go away, the crime comes back.
So the guns are not the devil. They are the tool of protection. And that’s not because they will kill someone. It’s because they can. And the criminals are aware of that.
I’ve had a loaded shotgun in the house for years. I take it out and clean and oil it. And I hope I never have to use it. The only use it’s had is on the range teaching my wife how to use it. But we’re prepared to if it comes to that. And a vast majority of the gun owners in the US won’t either just like me. So it’s up to the criminals to be criminals for me to react. Their choice. Take my protection away from me, and I increase their choices because they don’t fear unarmed cops. I hope they fear me. They better. I worked too hard for my freedoms. But me and mine won’t be harmed. And all I’m asking them is to leave me be. And that’s not too much for anyone to ask.

After two weeks there were still one thousand seven hundred two applicants ahead of mine.
More die by the knife than the gun crime is always higher in stoner and other liberal democrat states.
Welcome to California..............................
They plan to wait until there’s a shooting of 3 or more people by a Whitey. (Or by a “White Hispanic.”) That will serve as the justification for seizing guns from honest, non-violent citizens ONLY, while they deliberately leave them in the hands of violent criminals.
That’ll come this summer while our minds are on other things. You’ll know it’s about to happen when the media overplays one specific shooting and goes 24/7 full coverage with it like they did with George Floyd’s death.
I Blame our
“Overlords.”
Increases in crime?
BLM
Antifa
Defund the police
Next red herring!
