Gun people know exactly what's going on. Mz. Caroline Brewer, Brady spokeshole, is projecting her fear and ignorance.
At least three first-time gun-buyers in Gunsmith's shop went to him for advice, which he gave, and they followed through. One is a Black woman Obama-voter, so, yes, Virginia, "they" are arming up as well, which I have already averred,
followed by pooh-poohing. (Yes, I'm lookin' atchoo, Libertas
)
As for repeat gun-buying, yes, that's happening as well. Our good friend indulges his obsession of acquiring more and more guns by contending he'll have a handgun and a rifle for every member of his "tribe" when TSHTF.
