People who, under normal circumstances, wouldn't consider owning a firearm but have been converted by the combustible landscape, now seek out means to protect themselves.
Hoping for a president's death? How did it get this bad?
If you don’t think some would want Trump on the list of evil leaders, then you have misjudged the deep-rooted resentment for the current Commander in Chief.

The police are charged with the unforgiving responsibility to protect and serve. Let's give them the resources and support to do just that.
An Independence Day littered with turmoil
Peaceful objections and protest can be patriotic, but hate for hate's sake divides.
Will The Mob alone decide which images stand?
Shame on the New London police brass for caving to The Mob and bowing to the cowardice of political correctness.

Nationally, a majority of police departments report a declining number of applicants.
Remembering 'Hat' and Waterford's Babe Ruth dynasty
Rewind your brain and return with me to a time when game lineups were made on the back of a Big Boy restaurant napkin and Coach's shirt pockets might display an Electric Boat ID badge.
