Delaware Gun Sales ‘Surging’ Thanks to ‘Nontraditional’ Buyers

Crime happens in places you least expect it. But thanks to the 2nd Amendment, some Delaware citizens are going to protect themselves from the unexpected.

Breitbart News Network shares the story:

Background checks for the two month period were up “26 percent” over checks for the same two-month period a year ago.

According to Delaware Online, the surge is due to “nontraditional gun owners” deciding it is time to get a gun. University of Delaware senior Dominique Carpio is a perfect example. She was previously “anti-gun” but became concerned “about becoming a victim of one of the crimes she frequently hears about in New Castle County.” So she went and bought gun with which to defend herself.

As Americans, we have the right to protect ourselves. We are not the ‘damsel in distress’ the government makes us out to be.  We have the ability to control our means to protection — there is no need to wait for the sloth-slow federal government to come to our rescue.

When we are able to protect ourselves, we rely less on the government for their dole outs of protection (when they see fit to actually help).  An administration’s power and influence, when democracy is not functioning as it should, stems partly from dependence of the people. The current administration has no desire to lose any power, so they hold on tighter and tighter to a key in self-governance — protection.

The government expresses the desire to protect its citizens by cracking down on gun laws — in reality they are only aiming to protect themselves from the power of self-protected citizens.
