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

Interestingly my wife is similar to your kids. She sees the possibility of us having to defend our home and said “we” will have to fight. One of her childhood friends recently bought a pistol, her first ever, and for self defense.

With gun sales through the roof, I kinda think many think the same as this childhood friend and my wife.

All this violence is waking America up.

But, but, if we have guns, how will they easily load us into cattle cars and ship us off to the concentration camps?

You can easily see why Socialist Democrats want ALL of HISTORY erased.

*SPIT*

One of the really nice effects of all these 1st time buyers is how well it destroys the meme of guns being 'easy to obtain', and other such garbage. I imagine that quite a few of these 1st time buyers are shocked at the required procedures.

NRA, why aren’t you doing this?

They're too busy sloganeering and turning their boardroom into a housewife reality-drama, instead of engaging our enemies and taking them to court.

They have lost their way... at least for the time being.

Lurkinanloomin :" They turn criminals loose as soon as they can so they can victimize more people. "

What do the criminals have to loose, they know that they are eventually going to jail, if it's serious crime.
What do the victims have to lose ? - more crime in their streets, being vulnerable even in their own homes.
Also, these Democrats are including " no bail release ", as well as releasing the name and address of the victim for further threats.
The DemoRAT system is designed to further crime, especially with D.A.'s not willing to prosecute.
The only one armed are the criminals and the police, who show up 15 minutes later to conduct their post-mortum investigation.
What is most revealing to me is that the number of private citizens who are willing to invest (+) $500 for a bulletproof vest, is up 60% !

Do they look like they’re prepping for the other side of “the Boog”, or like “regular” people that are now scared by events?

That was my point, which I did not express clearly: we should not assume that the increase in gun sales indicates support for conservative positions, or that those new gun buyers are wholly conservatives. Those obvious first time buyers who I see flooding the gun range lately are definitely more of the BLM persuasion.

Add me to your list for info on how people like their guns and, tell me, are they getting lessons on how to use their guns safely for them...? I love my guns!! I love to shoot them and would love to how to be a successful sniper. I think we must have a group that love that huge long distance to look across and see the iddy biddy target and try to hit it even as it moves. What a wonderful challenge!

You've been added to the banglist/RKBA ping list, a low-volume list.

Follow the thread for answers to all your questions.

Firearm ownership is similar to compulsory military enlistment. It has a magical effect on stupid.

The longer one holds a gun in their hand, the more the brain accepts personal responsibility.

The Karen’s and their Soy Husbands hat are pissing themselves will never be the same.
