Asian Americans are flocking to gun stores to arm themselves for self-defense amid the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes.
Forbes spoke to Jimmy Gong, owner of Jimmy’s Sport Shop in Mineola, New York, and he said, “There are more Asians being introduced to firearms. Before, there was never gun culture in the Asian community. But after the pandemic and all the hate crime going on, there are more Asians buying guns to defend themselves.”
Gong noted his business doubled during the era of coronavirus, and half of his customer base is comprised of Asian Americans.
Forbes points to findings from the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino, which show “hate crimes against Asian-Americans surged 149 percent in 2020, while overall hate crimes fell 7 percent.”
So ridiculous. Right hook left upper is all you need.
Good for them. I did the exact same thing after an incident I experienced with two thugs. I remember feeling so sick immediately after what happened that I damn near threw up on my drive home. That night I decided to start arming myself and my home for what I believe is the inevitable, a shooting race war.
Do whats needed so my monthly visit to No 1 is not hampered!
