Rising Gun Sales Evidence of Rising Racism?

This from Kurt Womack:

Leftists can't resist making everything about race. Knowing Chicago gang-bangers are less likely to legally buy guns, and are killing each other in droves, and the Lamebrain Media refuse to acknowledge which skin pigment is doing most of the shooting, they have to (falsely) claim LEGAL purchasers are the racists:

[...] THE ROLE OF RACISM
Along with the general concern for personal security that these protests may have unleashed, additional data **suggests** that inherent racial tensions in our society also contributed to the June spike in firearm sales.

To examine this issue, we augment our analysis with data from Google Trends, which indicates the relative frequency with which individuals search for certain terms. Following an approach used in prior research, we track searches for a common racial epithet as a measure of racial animus.
...
In March, when the pandemic hit and firearm sales initially spiked, there were no substantive changes in search frequency for the racial epithet. Starting in late May and early June, though, those searches jumped, hitting their peak on June 19 (Juneteenth).

The increase in firearm sales in June **may have had nothing to do** with racial animus, **though**. The protests **could have** engendered concerns regarding personal security, and therefore greater firearm sales, with no relationship to the simultaneous increase in racial animus. The correlation in the timing of these changes **need not imply a causal relationship**. ...
It is unclear who was buying those firearms. Concerns regarding personal security related to racial tensions could lead individuals of any race, including Blacks or whites, to buy firearms. In general, however, whites are far more likely to own firearms than Blacks (49 percent versus 32 percent). [...] **weasel words**

Total focus is on LEGAL ownership, avoiding ILLEGAL possession.

[...] It is ^^concerning^^ that the necessary national discussion regarding racial injustice is leading to even more firearms in the hands of Americans.
...
Similarly, it would not be surprising for some citizens to respond to ^^perceived^^ limitations on police services with private provision. This **may** include purchasing more firearms. In a society fraught with racial tension, ^^it is not clear^^ that dismantling the police and seeing more private citizens purchase guns will lead to a safer world. Increased firearm sales are a potential – if unintended – consequence that merits attention as we endeavor to create a more equitable society. [end] ^^Leftist stupidity^^

Yes, it's called the law of unintended consequences, the Left has always owned the "race" issue, they have fucked up their agenda now by letting hate take over, so much for what MLK preached. Now they are surprised. The first graph shows that Obama has been dethroned as the best gun salesman, another legacy shot to hell. LOL

1 Silly me! I thought that the rising sales of guns -- especially handguns -- showed that more and more people were concerned about being able to protect themselves. Racism? Hey, it looks like a lot of the problem is caused by BLM (Burn, Loot, Murder), whose members are generally white, and many of the people buying guns are black. So...

2 I was under that same mistaken impression Dana. I guess it's because we have white privilege and don't see our racist motives here!

3 That must be it. I kidded my lovely black neighbor gal about ten years ago that her daughter was getting so attractive that she'd soon have to get a machine gun. She responded that she was thinking about getting a pistol. I said if she was serious about that, she really should have a talk with me about pistols. She never did, because we are in a nice safe neighborhood, and I'm sure she didn't want to pursue anything of the sort. BTW, the daughter is in her teens and growing up to be a real babe!

4 Well Dana you'd be the man to see about that!  I'm glad she doesn't NEED one; it's such a shame when young people have to live like that. I grew up at a time and place where we feared nothing. Wandered all over with not a care in the world. It's so sad to see how much of that freedom and joy of living the young have lost thanks to their hippy-dippy parents and grandparents.
