Californians are figuring it out too
The Left is killing gun control.
Yes, they want it and want to implement it, but their actions in other areas are driving people away from supporting it.
Californians are buying up guns after Border Patrol starts dumping thousands of migrants on streets
Customers packed Cory Gautereaux’s small gun store northeast of San Diego on a recent Friday afternoon.
Many of the people buying pistols at Firearms Unlimited California said they were concerned about the massive number of migrants being released onto the local streets after the area became a hub for the crisis at the border — which is just 25 miles from El Cajon, a Southern California suburb of 105,000 people.
Roughly 125,000 migrants have been released onto the streets in the San Diego area since September, which has been unsettling for Firearms Unlimited California owner Cory Gautereaux and his customers.
The US Border Patrol has begun busing migrants who claim asylum into the community and releasing them onto the streets, he said.
“That’s driven business to us,” he added.
Local Sharie Finn told The Post that the border issue “1,000%” plays a role in her decision to buy a gun, pointing to the Glock pistol in her bag.
El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells acknowledges his residents don’t feel safe because of the flood of illegal border crossers in his city.
“We see the massive amounts of violence that’s happening, a lot from the immigrant situation, but a lot from the homeless situation as well,” Wells told The Post, adding: “People are frightened and I do believe they’re arming themselves more.”
Gun control, like open borders sounds wonderful to Leftists in gated communities where they don’t suffer consequences.
For the average person, watching illegal immigrants bring crime to their communities where the police have been defunded or hamstrung, they want guns to protect themselves.
California Leftists will still push gun control, but the average Californian is learning how important having a gun to defend yourself actually is.
This will happen all over the country as the cloistered Left makes things worse.
