RACIAL INJUSTICE-GUN DIVIDE

The scenes have become commonplace in 2020: Armed citizens roaming the streets and at state Capitols with semiautomatic long guns strapped across their chests. A couple near St. Louis emerging from their mansion brandishing firearms as a group of Black Lives Matter demonstrators marched by their house. Lines outside gun stores. Vigilantes compelled to protect cities during unrest. The scenes underscore the ever-widening divide over gun rights during a summer of turmoil over protests. By Lisa Pane. UPCOMING: 900 words, photos, by 10 a.m. Monday.
