“Today, the ice-cold reality of self-reliance settles in when people observe professional protesters rioting with violence and destruction. That\u2019s why they are buying guns.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The Record-Breaking American Arms Race of 2020 Means One Thing: You Loot, We Shoot!<\/a><\/p>\n

Florida \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>-(AmmoLand.com)- Record numbers of\u00a0firearms have been purchased\u00a0over the past couple of months in Florida and around our nation. Many of the firearms were \u2013 and are \u2013 purchased by people who never thought they would want or need a gun. Firearms training classes are full and booked for months ahead. Florida Tax Collectors are reporting huge increases in the number of Concealed Weapon or Firearm License applications being processed locally.<\/p>\n

Around the country, professional rioters and violent protesters have been destroying private property. These acts of violence are soon followed by looters who help themselves to what\u2019s left. These are not acts of civil disobedience; these are planned and orchestrated acts of domestic terrorism.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

People around the nation are getting fed up and are buying guns, getting trained, and are preparing to protect what they have worked hard to achieve. We\u2019ve seen people wake up and take responsibility for themselves and their property like never be before.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

In August 1992, Hurricane Andrew hit Miami\/Dade County, Florida. The destruction was massive. During the news coverage in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew, a warning from residents to looters emerged. Images flashed across TV screens on national TV and the message was clear. Hand scrawled on a piece of building debris: \u201cYou Loot \u2013 We Shoot!\u201d Spray painted on garage doors: \u201cYou Loot \u2013 We Shoot!\u201d Painted across the front of damaged homes: \u201cYou Loot \u2013 We Shoot!\u201d<\/p>\n

Hurricane Andrew had damaged and destroyed much of what Dade County residents owned, and they did not intend to lose anything else to looters and roving gangs.<\/p>\n

Throughout the television coverage of the plight of hundreds of thousands of residents left homeless by \u2013 what at the time was \u2013 this nation’s worst hurricane disaster, we saw many people refusing to leave the rubble they once called home. They were armed and standing guard to protect what little they had left. There was even a report from Miami of a police officer on local TV telling residents if they needed security, they’d better get a gun \u2013 police couldn’t help them.<\/p>\n

Even after the National Guard arrived, residents reported to the media that they still had to protect themselves because when the sun went down, the soldiers disappeared and residents were once again on their own.<\/p>\n

During this TV coverage the overwhelming majority of firearms that residents were using for protection were semi-automatic firearms \u2013 firearms that would be banned as so-called \u201cassault weapons\u201d by gun ban organizers.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Such tragic disasters often make folks open their eyes to the importance of firearms for protection and the outrageous restriction of gun control laws \u2013\u00a0particularly waiting period laws<\/a>\u00a0and gun ban laws. When you need a firearm for protection you can’t wait and you need the firearm best suited to stop gangs of intruders!<\/p>\n

Those whose anti-gun philosophy is manufactured in air-conditioned offices or in homes with electronic security systems and iron gates should take heed. When their anti-gun counterparts in Miami, became victims of a disaster, they quickly had a new perspective on the importance of the Second Amendment’s guarantee of the right of the People to keep and bear arms.<\/p>\n

Hurricane Andrew is not the only time Floridians have stepped up to protect their families and their homes with firearms following hurricane disasters; it just hasn\u2019t been widely reported in the anti-gun, anti-self-defense media.<\/p>\n
