We have been in this threat condition continuously since 9/11. Given the present state of affairs we will probably be in one of these conditions for the next ten years (then add 6 consecutive months, and start all over again if the condition again elevates).
By then, every firearms dealer in the country will be long out of businessand the legitimiate firearms industry bankrupt. But, the black market in smuggled and stolen firearms will be in full swing with the government relentlessly pursuing "illegal" guns and the country in an uproar about this dangerous and intractable "problem". The only solution then will be to "turn 'em all in, Mr. and Mrs. America". The War On Guns will become similar to the War On Drugs.
What a surprise!
If nothing else besides "evil", these people are relentless in their devious, anti-American agenda.
