These owners and operators report gun sales have spiked up by nearly 40% in the past several months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well, Firearm retailers are also reporting a similar trend in gun purchases. Some guns stores here in Florida cannot keep certain brand name guns in stock fast enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked, an increasing number of those buying firearms are attributing the upward sales purchases due to antisemitic attacks here in our state. More within the Jewish communities are purchasing weapons for self-protection, and also taking concealed carry classes. Tensions have been high all across the nation as we see not only protests in support of Israel, but, Pro Hamas terrorism also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, but not as highly identified as the reason for their gun purchase as antisemitism across our state, the open U.S Southern Border is also a large motivator for both Jews, and non-Jews alike to aquire firearms. With allegedly more than 4-5 million Illegal Immigrant \u201cgotaways\u201d, plus the millions of Illegal Aliens who are here that we have no idea who they are, including from Middle East countries, many Americans are arming-up and preparing to protect themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Paul Waldmiller Did you know that gun sales have increased here in Florida since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war?
