Trump Gunner make America great again
FEARS DRIVE ARMS SALES
AMERICANS are stockpiling guns fearing civil unrest ahead of the election result.
A firearms shop owner in the swing state of Michigan said he had been receiving hundreds of calls a day from new customers as America goes to the polls today.
Authorities there have noticed a boom of militant activity, which has included a plot to kidnap a governor.
Detroit businessman Bill Kucyk said: “They don’t even know the process. They just want to buy guns – I’m getting about a hundred calls a day.”
Pointing at empty shelves, he added: “Normally I’d have about a hundred guns in this cabinet but they’ve been sold twice over. The store has been cleaned out several times.”
Tensions leading up to the election have risen particularly in Michigan because it is a swing state, meaning its final vote could go either way.
Lexus Lewis, a young mum of two, was struggling to correctly hold a 12- gauge shotgun she was interested in buying.
Mr Kucyk said: “She’s going to need some serious training to use that.”
Lexus said she wanted to protect her family and added: “All of this is new. People are doing things we’ve never even thought about doing before, taking it to limits we never thought about going before.”
The FBI caught an outfit called the Wolverine Watchmen planning to kidnap Democrat Gretchen Whitmer over her Covid measures. DONALD Trump uses simple language and catchphrases such as “fake news” to gain votes, linguists say. He is the most “extreme” example of a politician who tries to sound like voters.
