Being one of them, sometimes white people make me discouraged:
Gun sales spiked in the region around Ferguson, Missouri, this week, as police face off with protesters in what until Thursday night was an around-the-clock stand-off many analogized to a war zone.
At Metro Shooting Supplies’ Bridgeton location 9 miles from Ferguson, gun sales were 8 to 10 times higher than at the store’s other locations, owner Steve King told the Huffington Post. “To put it in perspective, the sales we’re seeing now are like what we see around Christmas time,” he said. Another owner of a gun store in Ellisville, Missouri, said guns were selling at double the usual rate this week. “Because of the rioting, everyone’s nervous up here now,” said owner Steve Walsh.
Of all the character flaws, I have the hardest time abiding cowardice. Even dishonesty bothers me less.
