Civil rights attorney Leo Terrell applauded women buying more guns along with the rest of the population, saying “they want to protect their family” and are “afraid” of the falling levels of police support.

Gun sales continue to surge, as they have throughout the coronavirus pandemic. “Fox & Friends” host Ainsley Earhardt prompted the exchange by stating that “half” of gun buyers are women.

“Bravo. Bravo,” Terrell responded. “Because women, just like men, just like anyone in this country, want to protect their family. And they feel if they cannot rely on law enforcement, they have no other person to depend on other than [themselves].”(RELATED: Millions Of Americans Bought Guns Last Month)

“People are looking at what’s going on every day in these Democratic cities, and the government wants to take your guns away. People are afraid,” Terrell continued. He said that given moves to defund police, people “have no other choice but to protect themselves. And I applaud them because government is abandoning its number one obligation, to protect citizens.”

The Fox News contributor insisted the increased gun sales represents “a vote of no confidence in Democratic leadership” and that “everyone in this country saw what happened last summer. Everyone is witnessing the rise in crime in Democratic cities. People are afraid.”

Terrell claimed citizens have lost faith in the Biden administration and in Democratic leadership across the country. (RELATED: ‘Joe Biden Is An Empty Suit’: Leo Terrell Says President Can Only Offer Lukewarm Support To Police Because He’s Not In Charge)

“I think the Democratic playbook is take guns away … How can you take Americans’ right to protect themselves when they see all this crime?” he said, adding that people are expecting more riots in America’s cities this summer.

The New York City Police Department has experienced a surge in retirements from demoralized officers as crime has escalated.

President Joe Biden announced some gun control executive orders in April and urged Congress to enact additional legislation, arguing that gun violence in America had become an “international embarrassment.” Biden has nominated gun control activist David Chipman to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
