The Communist News Network calls it "panic."

I call it wisdom.


First-time buyers fuel pandemic-related surge in gun sales

... this year's sales spike is different because it's being driven by a rise in first-time gun buyers, especially among African Americans and women.

About 40% of gun sales in the first four months of the year were made by first-time buyers — far higher than the annual average of 24% over the past two decades, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a trade association that tracks gun sales and analyzes industry trends.

Gun sales among Black Americans are up 58% through September, according to the NSSF. Mark Oliva, the foundation's director of public affairs, said the rise in Black gun ownership is unprecedented.

"We've never seen a year-over-year increase that large in African-American gun buyers," Oliva told CNN Business. "It is the largest demographic increase we've seen. People that are buying guns today look a whole lot less like me and a whole lot more like the rest of America," added Oliva, who is White.
Gun merchants and advocacy groups have noticed the trend as well...

... "I have a family to protect," Thompson told CNN Business. "You have people out here who are ignorant to the point where your life doesn't mean anything to them. ... It's getting bad out here. You have no choice but to protect yourself."..


So according to CNN, buying a firearm because you recognize that the demoncrat's rabble-rousing has put your family in danger is a sign of "panic."

Not the term I would use.

...[H]e that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
