its because the police are defunded and violent criminals are running havok in our towns. So people have to defend themselves because they can't afford private security like the politicans that vote to defund. Property rights laws aren't being enforced in major cities.
- nathanaldensr 5y agoThe fact that such an obvious observation is downvoted without a reply or justification shows you what way the winds blow on HN nowadays.
- uwu_daddy 5y agoI've been going to gun shows in the Midwest since the early 90s. There is always a change in general sentiment seen at them that oscillates between "I don't dial 911" to "I outsource my violence to the worship-worthy police." The former happens when a democratic is in office and the latter happens when a republican is in office. It's the same vendors selling different bumper stickers and using different sales tactics based on how the political winds are blowing. The media and politicians do the same thing, so we get this article and your hyperbolic comment.
