GUN SALES TO MINORITY CUSTOMERS REPORTEDLY SOAR AFTER ELECTION [View all]
Hate crimes against minority groups in America have spiked following Donald Trumps unexpected election victory; as a result, gun sales to members of minority groups have reportedly soared. According to gun store owners who spoke to NBC News,gun sales to minorities have increased so drastically since November 8 that in some instances, they have quadrupled.
Leading the pack, it appears that members of the African-American community are buying up guns in droves, with some African-American gun clubs and groups reporting that their attendance rates have doubled since election night.
The reason? According to many minority gun buyers say its a matter of staying safe in an increasingly hostile nation. At least one gun store owner told the NBC News that they believe that the President-Elect has set a poor example, and minorities in America are paying the price.

I've heard a lot of discussion from friends about purchasing their first firearm. If anyone is considering this I say go for it, but please get safety training before purchasing a gun. Basic safety courses are usually pretty cheap but are truly invaluable and are absolutely a must.
