A Michigan gun shop owner told Breitbart News that Black Lives Matter-related riots in Grand Rapids back in May brought a flood of single mothers into her store seeking to protect their children.
Lisa Mayo owns Flashpoint Firearms in Comstock Park, Michigan, just a few miles north of Grand Rapids.
She said her biggest sales day occurred after rioting in downtown Grand Rapids the night after a George Floyd protest took place.
Mayo said a “significant portion” of her customers are from the city of Grand Rapids and poor.
“They’re fearing for their lives, and their budget is around that $200-$350 price range,” she said.
Taxpayers pay “a lot of money” so elected officials can have Secret Service protection, she said.
“Why don’t we have the right to be able to defend ourselves. Common, middle class people don’t have enough money to pay for a bodyguard, so the next best thing is for us to be able to protect ourselves. It’s everyone’s right to own a firearm,” Mayo said.
