After Donald Trump's win, Yolanda Scott is upgrading the crowbar she keeps in her purse to a small-caliber pistol.
Scott, an African-American, is one of many minorities who have been flocking to gun stores to protecqt themselves, afraid Trump's victory will incite more hate crimes.
"You feel that racists now feel like they can attack us just because the president is doing it," one gun shop owner told NBC News.
Gun store owners told NBC News that since November 8 they're seeing up to four times as many black and minority customers and black gun groups are reporting double the normal number of attendees at their meetings since the election.

Took them a while to discover what the 2nd Amendment is for.

Wasn’t the NRA foundational in protecting the rights of minorities from racist groups like the democrat KKK hate group? Good to see minorities taking the 2nd amendment as serious as the first. One does not survive without the other.

This is the media turning its fake news about made-up “hate crimes” and “Trump’s attacks” (I don’t even??) into fake news about “minorities feel persecuted (because of the media’s fake news about fake hate crimes) and have to fight back”, just to get the meme out there to manufacture division and gin up real violence against Trump supporters.
To: Timpanagos1
Newsflash: They are attacking themselves far more efficiently that any Trump supporter.

A crowbar is over 6 pounds, that’s totally ridiculous, a complete lie.
That is exactly the type of lie Believed by a liberal journalist who lives in a gated community.

Honey, you have more of a chance of being a victim of violence at the hands of another black person, than at the hands of a white person.

That’s a keeper. I can’t wait to show that to the niece’s boyfriend, who spent time a few years ago as a Marine 240 gunner in Afghanistan. We’re going plinking tomorrow.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

"You feel that racists now feel like they can attack us just because the president is doing it," one gun shop owner told NBC News. Is this a statement from the gun store owner? Is he referring to the prez or prez elect? Who is attacking him?
BTW, my ex had a purse and knew how to use it.

I sincerely applaud these purchases. Yes, I know the reasons for purchase are delusional, but these folks will quickly figure out, and will still own the firearms, and hopefully will learn to use them well enough for what they’re intended for, namely for self-defense against physical attacks and attacks on their property by the criminal element.

Yolanda keep a crowbar in her purse? How big is her purse, and who has she been afraid of prior to Trumps election (I can guess, and its not the KKK).
A lot of black women carry gigantic purses when shopping. Easier to fit that big screen tv in it and walk out the store.

All law abiding Americans should be armed for their own safety. Race, gender, sexual orientation, etc is irrelevant.

You notice the statement about membership surging at "black gun clubs" with the likelihood they are NOT speaking about an affinity for AR-15 rifles?
