Realtors Face Reality

I hate to use that term to describe real estate brokers, because it is inaccurate. The term, "Realtor" is a word used to describe real estate brokers who are members of a specific organization, but has been taken to describe ALL real estate brokers. But the words "real estate brokers" takes up too much room in a headline. But the facts are there. Real estate brokers have been suffering "gun violence" at the hands, mostly, of unlicensed gun carriers, and they want to be able to fight back--something the "authorities" seem to be against. I guess they just want the real estate brokers to succumb to the victimization intended by those criminals. In 2015, the number of Realtors who carried was 12%. In 2016, it rose to 16%, and in 2017, to 19%. Significant numbers, but still not enough. The number ought to be 100%. Being a real estate broker can be a dangerous profession, and they, like ALL Americans, ought to be able to defend themselves. But brain-dead politicians just don't agree. (Gun Watch)
