Sure. Had nothing to do with the mostly peaceful protests
I did not own a weapon until July 2020. At that time the mostly peaceful protesters were threatening to “take it to the ‘burbs”. I still was not comfortable with the idea of gun ownership so my wife reserved a Taurus G2s for me as it was all they had at the time. Now I’ve purchased 4 more firearms (Ruger, Sig and Taurus) and am studying to become a firearms safety instructor. I’ve probably fired 3000-4000 rounds since then. Fortunately I’m a man of means for now and could afford it. I think a wage earner would be screwed, as always.
