Americans Assuming Responsibility For Their Own Protection

In response to writers and commenters who have noted for years that, for all of the left's street theater, it is traditional, conservative, patriotic Americans who own the lion's share of guns in this country, Rush asked rhetorically: "Where are they?" He was implying that they are full of bluster, for armed American patriots have not been out and about to push back against the left's outrages.

The media treats Americans to scene after scene of thousands of "Anti-racist" demonstrations, most of which are accompanied by violence of various forms.

"Rioting in a city is, for all intents and purposes, safe for the rioter. Even if you do have a confrontation with police, you're more than likely going to get a few bumps and bruises. At worst, some blood might be drawn from superficial wounds. The worst that may befall you is if your fellow rioters turn on you for any reason. Then you'll really face serious injury, though more than likely, you're just going to riot, loot, destroy, and go home."

It's simply to remind decent, lawful Americans in the 'burbs and elsewhere that there is indeed a damn good reason why the doers of evil in city streets have not ventured beyond them: they know that there most definitely will be a price, an irrevocable price, if they did so.

As one gun shop owner put it: "I think it really has people concerned [that] the honest law-abiding citizen, whoever you are may have to take things into their own hands."

Another gun shop owner in Bristol Township, Pennsylvania remarked that while Barack Obama was "The best gun salesman that we've had in a long time," he pales in comparison to the COVID-19 internment and especially the riots.

Again, millions and millions of Americans, many of whom would not have purchased firearms otherwise, are assuming responsibility for their own protection upon witnessing mass lawlessness in city streets.
