Haag: Today, the Politics Around Guns Helps to Sell Them

Today, when we talk about guns, we’re not really talking about guns. We’re talking about so many other things. You know, a political identification. And I think today that political identification is part of what sells the guns.

Ironically, every time there’s new gun control legislation at the state level, sales tend to bump up. Otherwise, actually, it’s been a struggle for the gun industry.

In the 1950s, perhaps half of households owned guns. Today, that’s more like thirty-four percent. But what the gun industry is experiencing today is that fewer customers are buying more guns. So, in some ways, the politics around guns, ironically, help to sell more guns.

    Left wing domestic terrorism violence: TPM reporter Katie Daviscourt assaulted and mobbed by Antifa during Portland anti-ICE ‘May Day’ riot, struck in face with rock.



    Daviscourt posted footage of the events that took place and said, ‘It’s impossible for me to do my job down at the Portland ICE facility, even with security. I was violently mobbed out by Antifa, and a suspect in black bloc threw a rock at my face. I have zero desire to discuss this further, but everyone is tired of it and wondering why a crackdown on Antifa — a terrorist organization— has not yet occurred.’

    [note: look at the video. She tried to run away, they pursued her. Luckily, while she was still running away trying to escape them she by chance just happen to run into some Portland ‘bike patrol’ police officers and had it captured on video.]

    In 2021, the COVID vaccine caused ~21,000 deaths. Despite knowing the ‘safety signals’ were being masked in VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System), and despite knowing the true data was showing the deaths and it being pointed out to them, the Biden admin covered it up and lied to the public about the safety of the COVID vaccine.

      Brave man! Telling the truth about the Covid shots. I guess since I used the word ‘shots’ we can say this post refers to deadly and dangerous shootings.

        Its more left wing violence. The left wingers will kill you anyway they can…by vaccine, their pet violent illegal aliens, their criminals, their trans, or by lying to you.

  3. Two comments in moderation. I used to read SNL daily but now, once or twice.a.week. Why? Because I find it breathtaking that a site advocating.for the 2nd Amendment so casually angles the first.
