Judging from the line outside this Long Island gun store, the ‘you don’t need a firearm to protect yourself just call the police’ narrative is in trouble

In the last several days we’ve seen many people on social media say that they’ve called the police and have been told the response either wouldn’t happen or would take a long time. It seems now more than ever that Americans increasingly aren’t relying on the police to protect them and are taking things into their own hands. Here’s just one example:

IF I lived in a city or town that was run by democrats, I wouldn’t even bother with knowing the number of the local police department. Instead I would just go with .223/5.56-.45-9mm-12 that I already have on “speed dial”.

9mm Beats 9-1-1 Every Time

“Wait’ll they find out they can’t just walk out with one...”

That does not apply, here in Texas. Thank God!

And the guy in the picture is STILL wearing a mask outdoors.

Seems like the hopes that they’ll not vote dem next election are not well founded.

Buy American made guns, ammo and related products. Note: You can buy more than 1 when you are there but if you live in CA or other liberty restricted states you have to come back in a month for the 2nd.

Proof that very soon, the looters are going to get a "brass and 'pop' music" reception in a big way. 😏

I have a relative in Nashville who is standing in line at a gun store right now. Says it is a surreal environment. People are arming up.

It can’t be easy in New York State. It’s fairly simple in PA. But I recently read that Maine is the safest state in the Union because it’s the most 2nd A. friendly. No permit to carry, concealed or open. OTOH, Illinois is “gun free” and is possibly the most UNsafe.

The more Americans that buy firearms the better. Especially those buying their first ones. Welcome to the fold!

Bold talk Howie, but have you ever killed someone?

Have you ever looked them in the eye and pulled the trigger?

Have you ever seen what bullets do to the human body?

Killing someone is a line I would hope no one would have to cross, because everything changes after that.

As a combat infantryman I have been engaged in a number of fire fights, some close up and personal. 50 years later I still have to deal with the demons resulting from that time.

Killing someone is not like the movies.

I am pro 2nd amendment. I am pro using a gun to defend yourself. But if you are prepared to take another life be prepared to have your life changed...forever.

Days like these, have me thanking ‘BJ’ Clinton and Janet’Waco’Reno for showing me the LIGHT! Since them, I have added to my collection and have increased in tenfold!
