These articles discuss how blacks and trans people are buying guns for protection. This is quite the change in the Washington Posts’ approach to guns.
For weeks, men carrying rifles have guarded the roads leading into Lincoln Heights, Ohio, stopping and questioning those who approach the Cincinnati suburb.

In early February, a truck of neo-Nazis came to Lincoln Heights’s doorstep. Masked demonstrators — some carrying rifles — hurled racist slurs and waved flags with red swastikas on a highway overpass leading into town.
