Those Missouri gentle giants can be some mean SOBs. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
I’m sure the liberals will say it’s racist to buy guns there.
I was just thinking about what it would take to defend my business against the mob, especially when the cops disengage as they did last night. I realize I am woefully short of ammo.
Can’t say I blame them, I would be doing the same thing..especially when you have liberal loons telling these looters to loot white neighborhoods, you have to protect yourself because the police might always not be able to

That’s not enough. It’s time to issue a more regular and powerful supply of military vehicles and weapons to all police agencies, so that they can protect the more worthy, paying constituents.
Based on other violent places that have had a surge in gun sales, I wonder how long it will take the curve of violent crimes to go into long term decline?
There really needs to be a unique name for that curve.
I always assumed that Missouri was one of those states where most of the people who lived outside the big cities were avid hunters who have spent generations protecting their Second Amendment rights from gun-grabbing politicians.

The St Louis area has a million and a half population and a whole lot of them are Democrats. Some of them may be getting scared now.
Hunters tend to have bolt-action rifles and expensive shotguns. I have a wealthy friend with six figures worth of guns — not one is a self-defense weapon. Beautiful shotguns, amazing big-game rifles, but self defense has never been on his radar.
A lot of people wake up and realize they need something effective for self defense. Yeah, you can use your $12,000 Beretta shotgun to take down a home invader, but do you really want the state crime lab marking it up, doing ballistics tests and the like?
