By now most people have seen the video of the couple in St. Louis. The MSM has absolutely brutalized this couple. The democrat controlled city government is going to investigate them. One would expect this kind of behavior from the MSM and the democrat controlled city government. What I have found, and did not expect, is that some of the “gun culture” channels on YouTube have joined the “pile on” of this couple. Granted I have not seen every YouTube video about this but at least one as much as said this couple are morons and should not own firearms. I think this individual misses the point, entirely.

This couple found themselves in a situation they had never thought would happen. They found themselves confronted by, as reported, 500 “protesters” on their street and on their property. I think you lost your standing as protesters when you began destroying private property and again when you became trespassers. Things obviously went sideways real fast and the couple retrieved their firearms.

The firearms community has grown since this Wuhan corona virus pandemic and shutdown occurred. There are now many more firearms owners. It is also good possibility that there will be more citizens making that first purchase because of the event in St. Louis. Let’s face it, we live is some “interesting” times. A time in which things can get real bad real fast. Things can get bad faster than law-enforcement can show up, perhaps even before you can call for help.

What about the possibility of no help being available? The protests of late quickly devolve into riots. Law-enforcement might just have their hands full dealing with riots and they just cant get to you, no matter how much they want too. Then add in the “priorities” of some State and Local elected officials, they may just place a higher priority on mask wearing and social distancing enforcement than on calls for service. Then you have the efforts of late going on to defund and/or abolish the police. Not to mention angry mobs refusing to allow law-enforcement access to a given area. Then there was this, a lady called 911 for service and she was told to contact City Hall with her complaint as what she was experiencing was the by-product of a sanctioned event.

Many are awakening to the fact that they are their first and best defense. So for those YouTubers out there that have joined the “pile on”, I have this to say to you; Instead of going on about, what you point out, as their “apparent” lack of training with firearms you should be commending them for at least showing up. One other thing before moving on, I would rather have these two beside me in times of trouble than you, they had guts.

Some, most, people are not willing to idly sit and have their lives be threatened or have their property destroyed. People will reach a point where they have had enough and will stand up. If nothing else the event in St. Louis should drive this point home.
