Why are gun sales skyrocketing?

Why are gun sales skyrocketing? Since the election, gun sales in some places are up over fifty percent. The prices of shares of stock in firearms companies has also risen. On the surface, the concern is that the new President and his anti-gun majority in Congress are going to make guns illegal, so people want to buy them while their Constitutional rights are still in effect.

The facts are different. It now appears that many are concerned that someone on the far left (most assassins are extreme leftists enraged that they haven’t gotten what they want) or on the far right is going to assassinate our new President. That, they fear, will cause huge riots, burnings, and attacks on whites across America.

These attacks will begin, it is thought, in the inner cities and spread to the suburbs. Many fear that their own homes and businesses may be attacked by armed gangs. They also remember that the police, as in the Los Angeles riots, were told to “stay away” until “things calm down”. Such memories make many conclude that their only line of defense is the one they provide themselves.

If unchecked, it is anticipated that the rioting will be dangerous to anyone not in the attacking gangs. Those who think there’s a chance this may happen want to be able to defend themselves.

Oddly, this ties in with the two previous columns, especially the final paragraph of the last column. Many of those buying guns, often for the first time, are government employees with jobs and property to protect.
