Interesting how most of this is in liberal cities and states and some of the racist attacks are from other minorities like blacks and Hispanics. Now Illinois wants to limit ammo sales. Regardless of your race, gun ownership is a necessity to protect ourselves and our families. Many California Asians are liberals (not so much here in Louisiana where Asians are slightly more liberal than whites but much more Republican than blacks) but now maybe they will be rethinking the importance of the Second Amendment.

There's also the issue of generalized chaos during a disaster as the police are busy enforcing quarantines, criminals will start to take advantage of the situation so its always good to be prepared. If you think the federal government cares about you or is able to protect you just look at Katrina. Just look at how FEMA doesn't care about tornado victims in Tennessee. Maybe when its an "important" state like New York or California the response is instant like with the California fires. But anywhere else in the nation we are on our own.
Why are you lying about this article? It doesn't say anything whatsoever about hate crimes against Asians "skyrocketing".

Just another in a series of "we need more guns" articles, it doesn't have to be based on facts.

I doubt you realize it but you are seriously giving people an inner good feeling with your bitter world view.

Not to mention the crap my wife takes on occasion because she is an Asian-American.

So, all of the losers that want to trudge out their Wattaboutisms and bogus equivalencies, skr*w you! The world will be infinitesimally better when you're no longer breathing.
We know none of this occurred. No Muslim woman was harangued at your wife's workplace and your wife doesn't receive crap on occasion from anyone for being Asian.

You are a liar.

Well, you can start by calling out the OP, who is an Asian American but has pretty reactionary and stereotypical views on Hispanics and Blacks, and is a neo-Conferderate sympathizer to boot.
