According to Firearm Chronicles
So the Editorial Board thinks that encouragement from Trump is the reason people are buying more guns? Or could it be the rioting, looting, and destruction of property that is happening.
There is lawlessness and chaos happening in cities all over the country. People are scared and buying guns to protect themselves, their family, and their property, not because of Trump.

That fear is not ‘desperate fiction’
Far from “Donald Trump’s fake fear,” people buying guns at a rate 145 percent that of last year are responding to antifa-fueled rioting, at least 19 leftist cities either cutting police budgets or considering it, and the “Ferguson effect,” wherein police, persecuted for enforcing laws, avoid making arrests. The result is exploding homicide.
New gun buyers finally realize what we’ve said for decades: the police can’t protect you. That includes in Raleigh, where a business owner reporting arson told a TV station: “We called 911. We got nothing …(The dispatcher) said we will not send anybody out if it’s going to put our people in danger. …I said, ‘look I don’t think y’all understand, we’re not calling for the fun of it. There is three blazes going on across the street. There are people that live around these houses.’”
Does that really sound like “desperate fiction”?
