According to Firearm Chronicles
Carletta Whiting is a breast cancer survivor, but like many who’ve fought that terrible disease and won, her victory over cancer came with a cost. The treatment she received may have destroyed the cancer cells in her body, but it also weakened her immune system, leaving her more vulnerable to the COVID-19 virus.
Whiting knows that she can isolate herself and hopefully minimize exposure to the disease, but she’s worried that anti-gun politicians will make it impossible for people like her to protect themselves from criminals who may try to prey on the most vulnerable during the current state of emergency.
On Saturday, NRA shared Whiting’s message to politicians, and it’s a must watch.
In the video clip, Whiting gives voice to the concerns of millions of Americans when she says, “I know from history how quickly society breaks down during a crisis, and we’ve never faced anything like this before. And never is the Second Amendment more important than during public unrest. It’s no surprise why sales of guns and ammunition have skyrocketed. Even liberals in California are lining up because they know that the government the government will not be able to protect them.” Whiting warns Americans who are lining up at grocery stores to stockpile food that if they’re not prepared to protect themselves and their property, that they’re just “stockpiling for someone else.” The NRA member also says that anti-gun politicians will try to use this current emergency to pass gun control legislation in the name of safety, and I suspect she’s right. We’re already seeing governors like Gavin Newsom and Tom Wolf declare that gun stores are “non-essential” businesses that must close, despite lines out the doors of gun stores in both states over the past week.
