Asian Americans are flocking to gun stores to arm themselves for self-defense amid the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes.
Forbes spoke to Jimmy Gong, owner of Jimmy’s Sport Shop in Mineola, New York, and he said, “There are more Asians being introduced to firearms. Before, there was never gun culture in the Asian community. But after the pandemic and all the hate crime going on, there are more Asians buying guns to defend themselves.”
Gong noted his business doubled during the era of coronavirus, and half of his customer base is comprised of Asian Americans.
Forbes points to findings from the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino, which show “hate crimes against Asian-Americans surged 149 percent in 2020, while overall hate crimes fell 7 percent.”
In March 2020, Breitbart News reported that California gun sales were spiking as Asian Americans sought out firearms to defend themselves.
CBS LA observed gun stores in San Gabriel Valley were seeing gun sales skyrocket. Stores such as Arcadia Firearm & Safety were seeing “10 times” as many customers as usual, and store owner David Liu said it was because of fears caused by the coronavirus.

HOORAY AA 2A! All Lives Matter
They’d better flock to private schools, too...

The future headlines will be fun to read.
There ya go. Problem solved.
Most Asians are particularly sensitive to the effects of Communism. It’s not surprising they want to possess guns to protect themselves from government and cultural tyranny.
Why not? Its meant for them, too!@
That’s what the Second Amendment is for; protection.
Asians are no strangers to guns
I am shocked how many black Americans are afraid to own a gun.
They think they will be labeled as a criminal.
A friend of mine is an American of Cambodian descent. His grandparents escaped Cambodia while Pol Pot was filling his killing fields.
He has quite a collection of firearms and enough ammo to end a war or at least take a good number with him.
He remembers his family stories.
Believe me, everybody is buying guns.
We ran 230 background checks yesterday on a Thursday.
Those are typically big sale weekend numbers for our store.
I was expecting the Democrats to start “Asian Lives Matter”
Let’s hope they can Shoot better than they can Drive.
IT’S JUST A JOKE!
>>>Most Asians are particularly sensitive to the effects of Communism<<<
Unless thet are from Cuba the Electoral Results prove otherwise. They love those DEMONCRATS.
Not everybody! When it gets like this is when I stop, in normal times I buy guns, ammo and reloading supplies. I might buy some trap/skeet/sporting shotguns if people get frustrated trying to find shells to compete with for their Krieghoffs and Perazzis.
Yeah, me too, I stopped buying when the frenzy started.
