Increased gun sales 'don't fit the caricature' of the typical owner, online firearm retailer says

The vice president of marketing for online firearm retailer Brownells, Ryan Repp, says those who are buying guns this year “don’t fit the caricature of what many would consider to be the average gun owner.”

Why is OK to say, "black lives matter", and "black vote", but you still have to say, "African American" in everything else?

I wonder what white South Africans are called in other places?

So for them to know this , they must be keeping background info and not destroying it.

How else would they know if it is a first time buyer??

Why is OK to say, "black lives matter", and "black vote", but you still have to say, "African American" in everything else?

In a novel l read recently, one of the serial killer's victims was described as a young "African American female"

Since the story takes place in Australia l waa wondering WHY would she be anything-American? What do they call black folks in other countries? I know of a few things, but they're too rude to repeat here.

The writer is American (James Patterson) and the victim happened to be an exchange student. I'm convinced that Patterson wrote her that way just to avoid saying "black".

Somehow, in Patterson's world, spanning decades, going all the way back to the first Alex Cross novel, he still hasn't learned that Glock 19s aren't revolvers, and don't have safetys or hammers... lots of safety-snicking and hammer-cocking in his books, now with a dash of white guilt and a pinch of covert virtue signaling.

Shames, James.
Good reads, though.

That would be "Deplorable-American".

What do they call black folks in other countries?

What they are called in some countries ain't repeatable here - been in some, heard some of it....

Most of my family, friends, and colleagues who are Black prefer just saying Black. All major style guides in USA go with black as well FWIW.

In my experience if you are unsure how to address someone, you're probably not the first person they've experienced that with, and if you simply ask, they will tell you and be glad that you did. Everyone's different. Just part of being excellent to each other.

And that includes Africa.

It sounds more like they are guessing based on zip code:

"Based on our sales, if we compare that to NSFF data, we're seeing a lot more guns going to urban areas," Repp noted.

"If you take the NSFF data and you pair it to what we have for sales data, I don't think it's unreasonable to hypothesize that a significant number of these people are from Democratic or other political ideologies," he added.

When I wrote my book, I was specifically non-woke but non-racist and made sure all firearms references, including the effects of gunshot wounds, were completely accurate.

Yup. I've seen more overt discrimination overseas then I've ever seen anywhere in the USA. And they have no qualms about it either.

I love listening to the idiot Bernie Bros fawning over "progressive" foreign countries where things are (allegedly) so much better.. A lot of Americans don't realize just how good they have it here.

 

[nammac]

If one happens to be "black" and "deplorable", would that make one an "African Deplorable American"?!?! Or a "Deplorable African American"?!?!

So confuzzling....

Oh man ain't this the truth!

The words 'politically correct' aren't side by side much outside of the U.S. !

All new guns are tracked via taxes down to the actual buyer. Used guns are transfers and those records can be destroyed after x amount of years

OK , but how does taxes track first time buyers?? NICS doesn't know unless they are keeping tract of the info.

NICS backgroud check info I beleive is to be discarded after a very short period. not years, Days.

I actually read that in my head with the correct accent.

Hows about,.........................................AMERICANS, and we leave the goddamn color out of it shall we! I'm so phucking tired of African this, African that, you're ether American or your not!

When I was in SA, they laughed and said "so what are we, African-Africans?"

The world does laugh at us but not for the reasons leftists imagine.
