Gun Sales to Blacks and Minorities Quadruple After Trump Win
Whatever their motivation, I think it's good that they're at least understanding that it's up to them to defend themselves, no matter the aggressor.

Philip Smith, founder of the 14,000-member National African American Gun Association said his members are buying up every kind of gun, from Glock handguns to AR-15 rifles to AK-47 semi and automatic weapons — though most first-time buyers gravitate toward a nine-millimeter pistol or .38 revolver. He said that twice the usual attendees have RSVP'd for the next meeting of the Georgia chapter, which he heads."Most folks are pretty nervous about what kind of America we're going to see over the next 5-10 years," he said. That includes members apprehensive about protests against Trump becoming unruly, as well as an "apocalyptic end result where there's anarchy, jobs are gone, the economy is tipped in the wrong direction and everyone has to fend for themselves." They don't know who might be busting down their door at 2 a.m.
He hopes people are just overreacting.
"I tell everyone don't panic, use your head. If you see something not normal, get out. You're probably right. And if you're not able to get out, you're prepared to do what you need to do," said Smith.

Great news. Hopefully this wins folks away from the Democrats.

Welcome to the tribe.
Who needs some lessons?

It has become a right of passage when each generation learns that even a government of the people can be more threatening than beneficial.

Arm yourself because there may be strength in numbers but that strength is multiplied by arms.

I think its interesting to see. The same side that said you would never need a gun is now seeing how it might be beneficial to be able to protect yourself.
