In the first five months of the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of Californians bought new guns and changed the way they stored their firearms in a bid to counter the unrest, government crackdowns and societal disintegration they feared would be unleashed by the public health emergency, a new survey has found. The UC Davis researchers who conducted the survey detected shifts in gun ownership trends that they said are likely to drive an uptick in firearm-related injuries and deaths, including suicides and the consequences of accidental discharges. By mid-July, the pandemic was cited as a factor in the purchase of an estimated 110,000 new firearms in the state, they reported. The majority of those sales, 57%, were to people who already owned at least one gun.

The media tries to make it seem like only crazy Red voting nuts own guns. Nothing is ever black and white. I know a lot of liberals who also want to protect their homes and families. The media hates that.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say it had more to do with the riots than carona virus.

I was listening to Niall Ferguson on Dave Rubins podcast back in June and Dave asked him to predict the election. He said to look at peoples revealed preferences and gave new gun ownership as a metric since gun owners vote Republican overwhelmingly. He said that one fact tells him Trump will win. Now, imagine how many more guns have been bought since that comment.
