snakep,

I read the article and had some gut reactions.

First one is obvious. Any restrictions on 2A are unconstitutional
Second:
I felt that since the WOKE LEFT in government and the lefty citizens are doing their part to make the law of the land easier for criminals to commit more crimes, then A+B=C. More Lefties + More crime=More Danger. Then as the article explains about the topic, More Americans have seen the need to protect themselves and their families.

Third:
Due to more danger in more communities, Americans have increased gun ownership to combat potential harm.

Fourth:
Then we can rightly argue that it is not the guns that are the cause of crime and killings, but the LEFT, and thus we can blame the whole dynamic of the woke/ anti 2A, anti "punish" criminals DOJ. Therefore, the things that need controlling/banning etc are the actual Lefty Elected Officials, their policies and their voters. All of the above are creating the environment that is actually causing the conditions within our country that enable rampant crimes up to and including the rise in murders. Whether they be by knife, poison, armed robbery, physical assaults, property crimes, etc, all need to have the opportunity to commit. With the opportunities to commit dangerous crime on the rise, the only possible outcome is more crime.

more crime, less LEO/DOJ /less punishment or prevention = more need for the citizens to handle matters themselves. More handling our own protection= more guns/ more martial arts/ more safety courses etc.

The results of all this are what we are seeing in our streets every day.

And their solution is FJB, and to ban our only means to protect ourselves.

Web Apr 22, 2021 · In 2020, nearly 23 million firearms were bought, an estimate that represented a 64 percent increase from the year prior, according to the Washington Post,

Web Jan 13, 2023 · Our last annual report showed that as of August 27th, 2022, there were 47,674 concealed handgun permits in Maryland, up from 12,189 in 2021.

I think more guns are bought in Maryland also. especially with the number of HGP.
