GUN SALES TO MINORITY CUSTOMERS REPORTEDLY SOAR AFTER ELECTION

[Kang Colby]

Hate crimes against minority groups in America have spiked following Donald Trump’s unexpected election victory; as a result, gun sales to members of minority groups have reportedly soared. According to gun store owners who spoke to NBC News,gun sales to minorities have increased so drastically since November 8 that in some instances, they have quadrupled.

Leading the pack, it appears that members of the African-American community are buying up guns in droves, with some African-American gun clubs and groups reporting that their attendance rates have doubled since election night.

The reason? According to many minority gun buyers say it’s a matter of staying safe in an increasingly hostile nation. At least one gun store owner told the NBC News that they believe that the President-Elect has set a poor example, and minorities in America are paying the price.

I've heard a lot of discussion from friends about purchasing their first firearm. If anyone is considering this I say go for it, but please get safety training before purchasing a gun. Basic safety courses are usually pretty cheap but are truly invaluable and are absolutely a must.

3. A close friend of mine has always stated that she hates guns and believes they should be banned.

A few days after the election she asked me about taking her to the range. I was surprised to say the least.

Another friend who also did not care for guns is going to the range with me and my wife Sunday afternoon.

6. Yes, because ignorant white wing racists have been arming up for years t intimidate/kill minorities.

I hope the the white gun fanciers and gun profiteers are happy they've forced minorities to protect themselves from such hatred by arming up as well.
