Scared white guys spur Black Friday gun sales to record high

How to unpack the creepy, disquieting factoid that gun sales over the Thanksgiving weekend shot, as it were, to a record high?

After what happened to me this morning at the bus stop I may just go and apply for a gun license.

I just tried to write a comment to this editorial but could not find a way to sign up.

What I wrote is this...

What a joke. Forewarned is fore armed.
SCARED is when things go to hell in a handbasket and you need a gun NOW! You rush to the gun store and find you have to wait 10 days (in California) to pick one up! But you need it NOW! That is when the pucker factor kicks in.

[Rinnwald]

Then there’s the adage that if you have enough, you don’t have to be ‘scared’.....

Catch 23: you can never have enough guns.

I diced to quickly torture myself and skim through the article.

A Caption on the third picture in the slide show it shows the Protestors in Ferguson overturning a car with this caption: The vast majority of the Ferguson protests were peaceful and full of urgency and genuine pathos. But what did media focus on? This. What did Fox News fetishize? This, times 1,000.

26 Business were BURNED TO EITHER RUBBLE OR A SHELL. Total Losses. I watched it live with my own two eyes.

But what does the truth matter? Even it burns at 700 Degrees and made you unemployed. >:(

Scared white guys?

I think he means rationally prudent.

Thanks for posting this MEGA BARFER. It does a better job than any of us could in showing how detached from reality, and genuinely dangerous to liberty and the Constitution the gun grabbers are. The pure personal, ignorant bigotry against gun owners is astounding.

"Lot of those gun buyers are women."

-----------------------------------------------

Right you are! The combined total of white women and white men looks to be about 60%

IMHO the author is wrong, snarky, elitist, obtuse and oblivious.

[dfwgator]

Bet a lot of them were black, too.

[HammerT]

Once again the LEFT shows that it is they who are the TRUE RACISTS – people who obsess and incessantly focus on skin color

[riri]

Count me among them.

Finally got over my NY propaganda instilled fear of guns and learned to shoot (quite proficiently, I might) this year after 4 punks kicked in my front door in broad day light and proceeded to steal all my sh*t.

[libstripper]

My condolences for your terrible losses. So many of us here have suffered similar, inexplicable TBAs.

[moovova]

I’m also a bitter clinger.

[The Toll]

That was my first thought as well. It IS actually illegal to call someone a Murderer when the courts have found otherwise correct? It’s been going on a lot lately.

[MeshugeMikey]

Its all the fault of the YOUTUBE Media....

[skeeter]

Morford, cupcake.

If you were more interested in the truth than using your marginal writing skills & platform to offend people you don't know why not go to one of the nearby gun ranges and look who owns guns in your area.

[mylife]

Morford has always been a lying idiot

[The Toll]

I have no interest what-so-ever in what the Author chooses to purchase with his money. Who is it than that seems to be all wee wee’d up?

[rockrr]

Whatever gets you thru the night Morford

[MaxMax]

What about the Scared Black Women, of Black criminals?

[VanDeKoik]

Now that is what America is really about.
