Why more Americans are becoming first-time gun owners

Quoting from the article:
… a store owner, operating a small deli in Ithaca, New York, explained that she purchased a firearm for her home and business for self-defense. “The riots and chaos of 2020 really have me very concerned. My choice to purchase a gun does not have anything to do with politics – I am a registered Democrat, to be honest. I just want to feel safe.”

It is truly stupid to continue to be a registered Democrat after the level of crime under Democratic government has risen to such a point that you found it necessary to buy a gun for self-protection!

Yes, why can’t people put two and two together, and stop voting Democrat?!

If we take our needy friend, somewhere in the US, she wanted firearms to protect her from Republicans, because she believed her life was in danger since she is a Lesbian with Bernie stickers and other far Left bumper stickers on her car. She has a real attitude and tends to piss people off, but it is always the other person, who is dangerous and threatening towards her that she figures will do her harm…all those deplorable Christians and Republicans and gun nuts. She is an absolute Socialist/Communist that wants the government to take care of her and complains all the time that she is a victim and not getting what she wants from the government. She absolutely believes that Republicans are out to get her and Trump supporters are the worst.

There are those people that never would have bought a gun…are anti-gun and want guns rights done away with…that are first time gun buyers. To her credit, she took firearm safety lessons. It is a weird relationship that somehow works because we are atheists. As long as she stays far away from us…
