That isn't going to work the way they hope it will.

If they are scared of police violence, being armed will make police tactics even harsher.

But the gun industry will be thrilled. New customers.

Proponents of a future civil war will also be rubbing their hands.

Whereas those of us who expect the US to split into smaller units and hope it can be done peacefully with less silly constitutional arrangements are less excited.

A new wave of first-time gun owners are rushing to buy weapons: Black Americans

The sale of guns to Black Americans rose 58 percent in 2020 — the year George Floyd was murdered — and 90 percent of gun retailers reported a general increase of Black customers in the first quarter of 2021, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Black gun owners, old and new, say the rise is a byproduct primarily of a heightened fear they could be the next targets of gun violence.
