Toni Jackson, who bought her first gun about three years ago because her job requires her to handle large amounts of cash, at her home in Richmond, Va.
... But when it comes to gun ownership there’s something uniquely American that cuts across party affiliation and social boundaries — leaving liberals and conservatives jostling for ammunition because they want to brace for whatever comes next....
... Davis was surrounded by tables displaying AR-15 semi-automatic rifles, bunny-shaped brass knuckles, pistols etched with American flags and the face of President Donald Trump, booklets with titles like “Be Ready for Anything.”
A human resources worker for the city of Richmond, Virginia, Davis had come to the show with his sister Toni Jackson, who had been having difficulty finding 9 mm ammunition at local gun shops; they were all sold out.
At the show, gleaming golden rounds were on sale by the thousands.
“Everybody is arming themselves against their neighbor,” Jackson said, looking out at the diverse lot of fellow shoppers, some pushing strollers and wheelchairs, one in a Black Lives Matter mask, one in a in Keep America Great mask, and a line for background checks that snaked along the room. “This feeds the separatism of the country.”
Jackson bought her first gun about three years ago, a small .380-caliber handgun, because her property management job required her to handle large amounts of cash. Recently she put a down payment on a more powerful 9 mm pistol that she thinks will offer better protection.
“What’s going on in the country right now, I’m afraid to be out by myself as a Black woman,” Jackson said, describing unrest in her city of Richmond and beyond. “There are a lot of people not necessarily excited that Confederate monuments have been taken down.”

People need to love and forgive if they are to stay safe in what is coming... Sincerely
so she bought a gun because she believes Donald Trump refuses to condemn white supremacists.
Democrats buy guns and then vote for the very people who openly state they want to take those guns away.
The very definition of cognitive dissonance.
And now it's democrats buying guns to protect themselves from democrats.
Finally we have some common ground ... although I'm sure only a few of them are picking up on the clue.
Good luck finding any ammo.
They buy guns because they are afraid the government is NOT going to take he guns away. I have thought that Democrats buying guns is ominous but those are not the guns we need to be concerned about. The worrisome guns are the ones Soros et al have stockpiled to give out at the appropriate moment which should occur shortly after a Biden win at the polls. If Biden wins then the government will be suddenly weak and then will be the time to make the big push, to storm the Winter Palace as it were. The Bolsheviks did not overthrow the tsar, that was already done. The Bolseheviks overthrew the Duma and the Mensheviks and the other parties who were the government at the time. Biden and Camel’a are the Mensheviks of this play.

The Dem’s need to defend themselves from their own people.
No they have to defend themselves from phantom white supremacists
Scott Adams invented the term “the just because excuse”. She’s terrified of black on black crime but blames whites when buying the gun.
Only ones left are the Joe Biden engraved double barrel shotguns. They have triggers that only work when the gun is pointed up in the air.
Yeah, a Ruger SR22 semi-automatic. They make it sound so menacing. I’ve killed many pop cans with one.
“And now it’s democrats buying guns to protect themselves from democrats.”
This is proof Trump will win big time!
It’s out there but it’s about twice or more the normal price. 20 rounds 5.56 for $18. 50 rounds of 9mm for $30 a box.
Giving a democrat a firearm is on par with giving Satan access to lighthing. Neither of these losers will use such power in a safe and responsible manner, and will certainly kill or harm innocent people in the process of their reprehensible behavior.
