The most revealing poll of all: gun sales
American Thinker ^ | August 15, 2020 | Patricia McCarthy

Posted on 08/16/2020 8:00:38 PM PDT by george76

For decades, the Democrat party has wanted to abrogate the Second Amendment, to ban the sale of guns of any and all calibers, sizes, shapes and potential uses. They have long sought to limit the amount of ammo per gun and

...

The left has yet to realize the obvious, that criminals do not obey laws of any kind, least of all gun laws. So deluded are the gun-banning Democrats, they do not believe that Americans have the right to defend themselves against said criminals. These Democrats who want to run our lives all have armed security themselves, but we peons are, in their warped view, are to be forever denied the rights they bestow upon themselves.

Like the imbecilic Beto O’Rourke before her, Kamala Harris advocates gun confiscation; she wants the tyrannical government she and Joe are promoting to go into our homes and seize our legally-obtained weapons of self-defense.

Like Hitler, Stalin and Mao, seizing the firearms of the citizenry is the first step toward despotism. But the left misjudges the spirit of Americans who have escaped being indoctrinated by the anti-American, anti-constitutionalism that the left in academia and the media have been pushing for decades. Most of us take the Constitution and its accompanying Bill of Rights very seriously.

...

Will a majority of Americans choose to be disarmed like the Germans under Hitler, the Russians under Stalin and the Chinese under Mao or will they vote to preserve their constitutional right to bear arms? The astronomical surge in gun ownership these past months tells us that no, they will not vote to lose their Second Amendment right. Self-defense is a human right.

“The right of self-defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to individuals.“ --James Monroe

They know full well gun laws only affect the law abiding.

The GOP helped them abrogate the whole Constitution when they assisted in the usurpation of Obama.

Yet, history shows us that once a state or country begins that slide into socialism, there is no stopping it. Those that can will keep their guns and start an uprising, and that will eventually lead to a reversal. Look how close Texas is to becoming a blue state. All it will take is just a few more libs moving in to Houston, Dallas/Fort worth, Austin, and San Antonio, and we will lose this state.

Yep. Their intention is to disarm the law abiding so that when they can’t rebel against them.

I would split Texas into a couple of states. Now. Don't wait.

Leftists want your guns so you can’t fight back when they enslave you.

That’s it.

Everything else us just steps on the road to that goal.

They know crooks don’t follow the laws. Crooks are their CONSTITUENCY. They want YOU in shackles, not crooks.

That’s a good idea.

Splitting up California is also desperately needed.

I know Texas has like triple our electoral votes, but split Arizona too. We've been invaded in the south by the parasites from Cali.

It doesn’t tell you that the braindead liberal who finally realizes that they need to get a gun to defend themselves changed their voting habits.

They need to be with it enough to see the connection between who they put in office and the policies they are now coming to loathe.

In fact, a chart showing weekly gun and ammo sales would be far more indicative than any fake news poll.

NRA, why aren’t you doing this?

It would help if our Texas state GOP wasn’t edging into stupid - see recent backstabbing at top levels, letting Democrats run unopposed in many county races, continuing to insist on expensive and useless in person conventions, etc., etc.

Too busy spending money on Wayne’s suits and haircuts, and flying him and his cronies around the US in luxury jets.

I belong to a shooting range which also sells firearms, both new and on consignment. Usually, I see retired military, security gaurds, and people like myself or those you might find on this website. In the past two months, that has changed. Now, I see a younger group, unfamiliar with guns, but anxious to buy or rent Glocks, AK 47s, and AR15s. These are definitely not the people who would be likely Trump supporters, or on the same side I would place myself.

Another case in point: Ted Cruz’s truly horrifically bad last campaign.

Absolutely Right. The left considers the criminals to be on their side. They don’t care about crime. They only care about turning us into helpless victims for them and their criminal friends.

The Trump campaign should run some ads on the gun issue in the swing states.

First, play Beto O’Rourke saying “Hell yes we’re going to take your guns”,

Second, play Biden announcing he would put O’Rourke in charge of gun policy,

Finally, President Trump comes on and points out how he has appointed judges that will protect the Second Amendment, and Biden’s judicial appointments won’t.

That alone could nail down those states.
