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.

I have never heard of a black gun club but I’ve also never heard of a white gun club. Maybe thus guy really writes for The Onion.

That very peculiar choice of words make me wonder about the truthfulness of the article.

That’s good. That way they can shoot an islamist terrorist instead of waiting to die in the restroom

Take care of your own hoods.
Police should only patrol taxpayer neighborhoods.

This will be good to defend against all the white people who are doing home invasions against black folks. At least I think I saw it in a movie once.
Yeah, it was Lethal Weapon two, I do believe.

People of all colors should just shoot leftists. It would be one sure way to make America great again.

if you read the original nbc news piece, there’s not much there in the form of actual facts. some unknown, unspecified groups are reporting something, some unnamed gun store owners are saying something.
it was more of an excuse to run through the history of racism in the us, and blame it all on republicans and donald trump.
To: JohnBrowdie
Exactly, there are no real numbers in the story and the last thing this country needs is for someone to keep records of the race of people that buy guns.
To: Timpanagos1
the last thing this country needs is for someone to keep records of the race of people that buy guns. I agree whole-heartedly, but it's on the 4473 form, you know. I really wonder why?
To: Timpanagos1
How can that be I thought either of those groups would have no access to get ID’s or is that just for casing a vote?

"You feel that racists now feel like they can attack us just because the president is doing it."
Obama is attacking black people? Oh, she meant Trump? What black person has he attacked? This sounds like some of that "fake news" I've been reading about.
To: ozzymandus
Crowbar in her purse?
Yeah, my reaction, too. In a way, am glad to see more people looking to defend themselves. Just hope they aren't pointing the guns at the wrong people like the BLM low-life's are.
