Asian-Americans stock up on guns over fears of coronavirus backlash

BPR:

While panicked Americans have been purchasing bundles of toilet paper, water and other supplies because of the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, Asian Americans have instead been reportedly stocking up on guns out of a fear of backlash — and justifiably so.

The panic is especially prominent along the liberal coasts.

“[T]here’s an acute fear among Asian-Americans that the virus’s origins in China will spark a violent xenophobic backlash. Along the West Coast, where the worst outbreaks of coronavirus in the United States have occurred, those fears seem to be spurring a surge in gun sales,” The Trace, a far-left outlet, reported Friday.

“People are panicking because they don’t feel secure,” David Liu, the Chinese American owner of Los Angeles’ Arcadia Firearm and Safety, said. “They worry about a riot or maybe that people will start to target the Chinese.”

  1. Asians are being ‘targeted’? Blame the media. I will be so glad when this coronavirus scare finally starts to give way to facts. When it does there’s going to be a lot of people with a ten-year supply of bottled water, masks, toilet paper, and hand sanitizer.

    Keep the guns, though. They will definitely come in handy soon.

  2. What kind of maniacs would blame Chinese Americans for this???

    The media is responsible for any and all violence that might he committed.:l

  3. Americans are so batshit insane now that they scream killing babies is fine and stealing is good, but Americans lose their minds if anyone uses a straw.

    Americans are so retarded that they don’t care if Trump supports wars, debt, and tyranny, but Americans completely lose their heads if Trump wears a yellow tie.

    The very same Americans who swear only Jews owned slaves then turn around and insist Lincoln was a Jew for freeing the slaves.

  4. I have a friend who is the American-born daughter of Japanese immigrants.
    Last week, while running errands in a nearby Massachusetts town (we live very close to the state border) she had someone react with hostility toward her and accusing her of carrying the Coronavirus just based on her Asian ethnicity.
    So no, I’m not in the least bit surprised.

  5. “[T]here’s an acute fear among Asian-Americans that the virus’s origins in China will spark a violent xenophobic backlash.”

    Why?

    These people had nothing to do with it and are at the same risk -if there is an appreciable one- that the rest of us are.

  6. Stir the pot.
    Send the minions out like unguided missiles.
    It’s called “anarchy,” folks, and it’s one of the leading steps towards tyranny.
    The plan is for the Phoenix of Socialism to rise from the ashes of History.
    Been there, done that.
    Always ends in disaster (for the humans, not necessarily for the socialists) – death camps, gulags, re-education, protective custody, whatever the euphemism of the day.

  7. “…those fears SEEM to be spurring a surge in gun sales,” The Trace, a FAR-LEFT outlet, reported Friday…”

    As with muslims, the scare-monger media is worrying about a backlash which somehow never comes.

  8. …they’ve been pretty smart about this for awhile, if you remember the Rodney King riots…

    …and in many places they live cheek-and-jowel with less-productive-minorites, which makes for hurt feelz too…

    ‘So don’t follow me up and down your market
    Or your little chop suey ass’ll be a target
    Of the nationwide boycott
    Juice with the people, that’s what the boy got
    So pay respect to the black fist
    Or we’ll burn your store right down to a crisp
    And then we’ll see ya
    Cause you can’t turn the ghetto into black Korea’
    “Black Korea”, Ice Cube

    …so, not sure why they don’t have guns ALREADY, except maybe that it’s CA, but you have to choose between illegal laws and self-preservation at this point…
