A Michigan gun shop owner told Breitbart News that Black Lives Matter-related riots in Grand Rapids back in May brought a flood of single mothers into her store seeking to protect their children.

Lisa Mayo owns Flashpoint Firearms in Comstock Park, Michigan, just a few miles north of Grand Rapids.

She said her biggest sales day occurred after rioting in downtown Grand Rapids the night after a George Floyd protest took place. WOOD TV reported that the Grand Rapids Police Department headquarters was tagged with expletives. Storefront windows were smashed. Properties were destroyed. Police cruisers were torched. An estimated $2.4 million in damage was done, according to Mlive.

He should collect unused guns and give them away for free.

Since the vast majority are most likely already familiar with unintentional discharge, they may be further along the learning curve than most.

I think it would be good PR for the store to include a list of safe gun handling rules with each sale. Hell, copy one from any website and print ‘em off - pretty cheap. Put the store’s phone and address at the bottom of the sheet.

She should have asked to see voter ID first... then sell based on that.

Yeah, I know... but still, it would be fun to watch their eyes bug out in rage.

Make them first read a list of Biden and Harris’ anti-2nd amendment statements before selling them anything.

At first, I thought this said “Machine Gun Shop,” and wanted to know where it was.

“Michigan Gun Shop Owner: Riots Brought Flood of Single Moms Arming Themselves to Protect Their Children”

totally great news ... i particularly love the fact that the article features a black female buying a firearm ... gun ownership will remain legal only if all ages, genders, ethnicity, and colors participate in large numbers and thus have a stake in protecting the 2nd Amendment from the leftists ...

I think you’d need to go to somewhere well in the past, or somewhere well in the future. No easy way to get there from here.

Gun ownership is like bacon.
Bacon converts vegetarians into meat eaters.
Gun ownership converts liberals into conservatives.
