Anti-Gunners About To Meltdown After Elon Musk Says 'Armed Citizens Vital...
• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler DurdenElon Musk most likely upset anti-gunners at Everytown and Giffords this weekend with his post on X, stating, "As tragic as the mass shootings are, armed citizens are essential to the defense of democracy."
Musk's comment was in response to an X user named "End Wokeness," who highlighted, "The past 3+ years have been one long infomercial for the 2nd amendment."
The past 3+ years have been one long infomercial for the 2nd amendment:

•Lockdowns and vax mandates
•Months of race riots and looting
•Police are defunded, crime rages
•Soros DAs let criminals roam free
•Millions of illegals storm the border
•Hillary calls for re-education…
End Wokeness listed a series of events, including Covid lockdowns and lawless metro areas, as some of the reasons why law-abiding Americans panic-bought guns in recent years.
According to the latest data from the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which serves as a proxy for gun sales, because there is no national database tracking firearm purchases, gun demand surged during the early days of Covid. It continued erupting as Black Lives Matter protests/riots sparked concern for safety among millions of Americans. Gun demand has since plunged since panic buying was merely a bubble.

However, tens of millions of Americans will ignore Democrats' cries to ban guns as their disastrous policies in metro areas and the southern border have transformed parts of the country into lawless hellholes.
