Firearm purchases by minority groups in America have soared over the past few years and the debate surrounding gun control following a deadly school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, late last month has seemingly renewed their support for the Second Amendment.
Retailer surveys released by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSFF) found that between 2019 and 2020 there was a 58% increase in African Americans buying firearms, a 49% increase in Hispanic Americans buying firearms, and a 43% increase in Asian Americans buying firearms.
In January, NSFF stated the numbers among first-time firearm buyers in minority groups remained largely "unchanged" and that 18% of retailers witnessed an increase in Native-Americans purchasing firearms in 2021, while 14% of retailers saw an increase in Native-Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders purchasing firearms in 2021.
Speaking to Fox News Digital outside the 2022 National Rifle Association convention in Houston, Santee and Kel, both members of the NRA who reside in Houston and only wanted to share their first names, said they attended the event to see the "new firearms and to show support for the NRA and for the whole 2A community."
Asked about the uptick in gun sales among certain minority groups in America and why they believe that is, Shantee insisted she will do what is necessary to protect herself and her family.
"For me, when I look at it, we're now understanding — African Americans, minorities — are now understanding that basically it's on you to take care of yourself, protect yourself," she said. "We're not new to crime, so we want to make sure that we're protected. I think a lot more minorities are taking their own protection in their own hands, which is great, because the police cannot be there within seconds."

"You've got to protect yourself," he said. "Make sure you protect your home, not every time you can wait for the cops to come to your house. You might be the victim … but if you protect yourself, you live another day. That's how we see it."
That’s how I see it and how most other law-abiding Americans see it.
These people must not be able to afford to get TV news panel shows that argue against gun ownership by common Americans.

Congress the Best Gun Ad ever
Many Americans of color know it’s not white supremacists they need to be fearful of.
yes indeed
many of the socalled progressives (communists) are quietly stocking up on firearms and ammo to defend themselves
they are finally realizing that the DemoNaziCommie puppetmeisters do NOBODY any favors unleashing their Burn Loot and Murder gangs on the rest of America (and the “progresssive” and “minority” communities, neighborhoods have proven to NOT be exempt at all from getting burned, looted, mobbed with rowdies making everyone’s life miserable)
Be able to defend yourself (and your home) or else suffer the consequences as the Commie/Nazi/leftists continue their mob violence

Wonder how this would play out?
Open carry all 50 states. Maybe, just maybe, the street monkeys would think twice before jerking that hog leg.
On July 9, 1985, during debate over the Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA), Senate Judiciary Committee member Joe Biden (D-DE) sided with the NRA and argued criminals can get guns “with or without gun control.”
With all of this gun law enthusiasm from democrats, WHAT WAS DONE TO HUNTER BIDEN FOR BREACH OF FEDERAL GUN LAWS IN HIS FALSE APPLICTION FOR A “SEMI-AUTOMATIC ASSAULT WEAPON”? Oh, that’s it; nothing will be done because democrats are above the law.

See my tagline and stop hesitating.
Bet there will be a run on gun stores as people buy up all the AR-15s they can get their hot little hands on.
It happens every time the Dems broadcast what firearm is now on their “To Be Banned” list.
No one really wanted an “A-s-s-ault Rifle” in the 1970s till the Dems cast their covetous eyes in that direction in the1980s. Suddenly AR and AK type rifles became hot sellers!
Constantly poking the bear will get you in deep chit!
It’s already started.
I was so tired after work today I fell asleep in my chair.
