Gun sales are up: Women and minorities hardest hit
Women are propelling gun sales to all time highs:
FBI figures show the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) is running more checks than ever before. Nearly 25 million background checks will have been completed by years end.
By proxy, that means more guns being sold than before and local shops say their sales are getting better every year.
A key group driving sales women.
Women are helping propel firearm background checks and gun sales to an all-time high.
And Trump’s victory supposedly leading to minorities buying guns:
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 protect themselves, afraid Trump’s victory will incite more hate crimes.
Yeah, all those riots out there by those Trump supporters are startling. Oh, wait.

It’s likely that the woman who is beginning to carry a pistol doesn’t have a permit, meaning that she is breaking the law.
I also like how they mention that there were racially motivated attacks in her city over 100 years ago, then goes on to state that a White Supremacist march happened there as “recently as 1987”- thirty years ago. The only thing they can point to in recent times is the presence of Rebel flags, as if that were somehow more abhorrent than NFL athletes wearing Malcom X, Fidel Castro, or Che Guevara clothing.

I am glad more women and minorities are carrying. 🙂
To all the women and minorities out there: arm up and protect each other. 🙂

Well, as long as it is Trump’s fault that violence against non-white racial groups occurs (and we have already determined that it is Trump’s sexist racist bigotry “incites” violence against whites) the narrative will remain unchanged, namely, that guns are bad and only bad people have guns.
At some point liberal cognitive dissonance and the divide between their narrative and objective external reality will result in a sudden loud snapping noise, and a return to normalcy for the vast majority of the population.

I’m supposed to believe she carried a crowbar in her purse? If she felt that she needed to carry a crowbar before, a firearm would have been much more logical of a choice (assuming she has the ability to legally carry based upon wherever she lives). As stated above, there have been riots by Leftists. When has there been a riot from the right? BLM = lefties. Occupy = lefties. These people rioting over the election = lefties.
The Tea party? They cleaned up parks!

Is this to compensate for the size of their penis?

Women are empowering themselves, but leftists who say women should be empowered, oppose them CHOOSING to acquire and carry the means to do that! It’s an astonishing contradiction!!

This is behind the curve.
Record sales every year for years has been heavily driven by women. Now we’ll see a flattening along the lines of ’80-’92 and ’00-’08. Supply/demand.
For black women though, it’s newer so still surging. And you guys are taking that wrong. She is afraid Trump’s victory will incite hate crimes? It already is…and it’s those racist street thugs she might need protection from; black-on-black is the only real growth sector in criminal shootings. And now she’s equipped to defend from it. Good.
