Making gun sales great again
People figured after Trump won the election that there would be a drop in gun sales. Turns out, not so much. Record sales on Black Friday was one indication. And now, this: We thought Trump’s win would slow gun demand. It hasn’t
Gays, women and minorities seem to be a factor in this trend.

Gays, women, and minorities think Trump is going to come and get them so they are arming themselves. Hypocrisy? Unpossible? So much pablum to wade through with lefties.

I don’t believe that the “gay, women, minorities afraid of Trump enough to buy guns” demo is all that large. It makes an amusing news bite but its BS in my opinion.
But that’s fine. They can become part of gun culture too.

I can’t wait until he deports gays, women, and minorities back to where they came from.

Takes a while for reality to catch up to perception, and vice-versa. Remember the contrarian rule; when everyone is buying, sell. When they are selling, buy.
Shakeout is coming. There will be some good sales.
BTW, that is one fucked up link.

Gays, women, and minorities think Trump is going to come and get them so they are arming themselves.
At first blush, this seems positive – they’re learning to distrust the government they’ve long depended upon to force others to give them what they want.
It will be interesting to see if this distrust morphs into a greater understanding of the value of freedom and individual liberty.
It is entirely possible that, over time, we can help them learn. Baby steps.

What bothers me is it the Bolsheviks armed themselves too. I use to be a single issue voter because people who were pro gun were individual rights, small government. Now I’m a two issue voter. I’ve added taxes. Yes, I’m for the rich having lower taxes, corporations, everyone. Lower taxes means less money for the government. But this is about firearms. I think everyone should have them and I hope this is for the best. But when the media starts playing clips of BLM marching with guns and claiming Civil Rights like the open carry crowd does. A bunch of Bernie Sanders types will be screaming for control and we have the sixties all over again.

@HL, Aren’t gunowners a minority? Anti-gunners probably want to relegate us to minority status, although they wouldn’t count us as a minority, preferred, protected, appeased and accommodated, that it.

Sure Ron. Everyone is a minority, because everyone is an individual. There is only one me.
But take my comment with a bit of snark:)

@HL, yes, “the smallest minority” is the only one that matters, the individual person!
