Coming soon to any/all blue cities controlled by insane liberals, who hate cops, new BLM/Sharia/Antifa non police force!

The Los Angeles Times editorial board suggests the current surge in gun sales is “madness.”
It delivered this observation after describing month after month of record breaking firearm background checks during coronavirus shutdowns.
They noted:
Since the start of the pandemic, Americans are buying more guns. The FBI says it conducted a record 3.7 million background checks for would-be gun buyers, a loose proxy for firearm sales, in March as lockdown orders spread across the nation. In April the checks dropped to 2.9 million but rebounded to 3.1 million in May. The monthly average for 2019 — itself a record year for background checks — was 2.4 million. So even as we get fresh studies connecting possession of firearms with increased risk of gun violence, accidental shootings (usually by children) and suicides, we are adding more firearms to the nation’s already numbingly large privately owned arsenal of some 300 million guns (no reliable count is available) owned by about a third of the population.
The board added, “This is madness.”

I’m curious how the Left intends to enforce big-city gun-control without any police?
I agree. Somebody should just hand them out to us like they’re doing in Occupied Seattle.
300 million!
I don’t believe that for a second. It has to be at least three times that many. I know for sure there are a whole lot of unregistered and unknown weapons floating around.
Go ask Raz how many he has in CHAZ.
I would say it is predictable.
The founding fathers were not idiots.
But rioting, looting, destroying of businesses and communities, killing of innocent people IS NOT MADNESS.
SO, it’s NOT normal for people, when all hell is breaking loose around them, to want to protect themselves?
There is no common sense at all in today’s LEFT. NONE.
There is only INSANITY on the Left. And most of it is INTENTIONAL.
They realize that each new legal gun owner will be a new voter to re elect President Trump.
So even as we get fresh studies connecting possession of firearms with increased risk of gun violence,
Bullsh!t
How DARE people want to defend themselves? That is what private security companies and paid bodyguards are for.
Coming soon to any/all blue cities controlled by insane liberals, who hate cops, new BLM/Sharia/Antifa non police force!
Sadly no. There’s no box on the 4473 to check for being a lib.
I’m getting way, way behind!
The madness in the streets being promoted by the Ministry of Propaganda is what is driving gun sales.
It would be irresponsible to not protect yourself and family from the mob being whipped up by the Ministry of Propaganda.
No ‘Merica would ever ever have an unregistered gun, for shame for shame even thinking such thoughts! :^)
And Governors, Mayors and Chiefs of Police NOT stopping the rioting, looting, destroying of businesses and communities, and killing of innocent people is NOT madness?
The most basic function of government is to protect people and property and the Democrats at all levels have failed to do that. By choosing to not enforce laws and call out the necessary force to quell the riots and looters, they are abetting the destruction of property, lives, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
How is that NOT madness?
Social workers, dont’cha know?
LA Times Editorial Board: Surge in Gun Sales Is ‘Madness’
Do you think that the LA Slimes would be concerned about new gun owners if the new owners were liberals?
use of force by the people to overthrow tyranny and replace it with a government that respects natural rights, is a perfect right
Registered firearm? No comprende.
No.
It’s perfectly sane and rational.
Madness is not prosecuting rioters and looters.
Madness is the city of Seattle working with CHOP as they hold whole city blocks hostage and telling the police to stand down and refusing national guard assistance.
Madness is one time DNC candidate Tim Kaine saying that America creates slavery.
Madness is Popular Mechanics publishing how to tear down statues you don’t like.
Madness is cancelling anyone and terrorizing their homes and livelihoods if they say they disagree with BLM.
No LA Times. Buying guns and preparing as the DNC foments insurrections and a civil war is NOT madness.
