Surging gun sales driven by paranoia

I remember how difficult it was to get Primers and 9mm ammo last time! I think its great how this administration has helped the gun industry!
 
The douche fails to mention that crime is down everywhere gun laws have been relaxed.

We need to start pointing out that the government is pro-crime.

It always does everything within it's power to create more of it.

Sooner or later people are going to have to look at the cold hard evidence and acknowledge the truth that is right in front of them.

They have helped the gun industry like past presidents helped bands/people like Marylin Manson by calling him EVIL, and a BAD INFLUENCE!

The more you tell people they are not supposed to have something, the more the people will want to buy it.

Not in my reloading room. [smile]

Do you mean: Your bomb factory?
 
I am a liberal, and I have prepared for self defense, as is my 2nd amendment right. I consider it to be common sense, by the way.

Seriously, this is not a partisan issue, it is an American issue. Folks pegging 'liberals' as the enemy of gun rights are verbally shooting themselves in the foot. It is common sense for a lot of folks regardless of political lines, basically unless you are not interested in taking responsibility for your own safety (which is a LOT of folks).
 
I just ordered a Polish Tantal from J&G tuesday morning. They had 67 in on hand.......they have 33 in stock today. Oh, and CAI has none in stock either.

It is a partisan issue. Because is in this country liberals put their money, their time, and their philosophical backing into one party - the Democrats, and into the philosophy of big government. Both of these institutions are the major forces behind taking away gun rights.

Yes - there are Republicans and "conservatives" that generally agree with gun control and big government - but when the open their mouths about gun control they generally get a SEVERE smack-down.

I don't need to verbally shoot myself in the foot by pegging "liberals" as the enemies of gun rights - I have history and the law on my side and it's (for the most part but not entirely) - filled with page after page of left wing attempts to stifle and get rid of gun ownership in this country.
 
Of course that all exposes the problem of how you define "liberal". There are two ways.

Is one an MSM liberal or are they a real (Classical) liberal?

Classicals are pretty rare. Most of them self identify as left-leaning libertarians. They don't believe in using the power of the state to steal or coerce people, for nearly any purpose.

Typical MSM "self described" liberals are better off being described as existing somewhere on the socialist > communist / statist authoritarian douchebag plane. If they are anywhere on that plane their support of RKBA is questionable... better than nothing, I guess.

I understand that, however, there are a great number of liberals, progressives and 'lefties' who put their money and votes in that direction due to their support of other social issues. Yes, I know plenty who support gun control etc, but I also know plenty who either don't give a rats butt about it, or are in support of gun rights, but still vote democratic because they oppose many other republican agendas.

Up in the northeast the problem is most of the libs up here always say stupid shit like "there are more important things than guns/gun rights".

Down south even the dems take the issue a little more seriously- if a primary comes down to two dems who are otherwise similar, and one is pro and the other is anti gun, the anti is getting trounced. There's a big cultural difference between the voter demographics here and there, though. In MA moonbats say that "guns are icky". In FL even half of the registered dems probably have a gun in their house or know someone who does.

Last night I attended the Westwood Gun Club monthly meeting. This month there were ten new members, after nine last month. These are HUGE numbers for a small club. The club officers were saying what is going on out there? They are surprised at the surge in club membership.

Something is happening out there. There's lots more folks joining the ranks of us firearms enthusiasts.

I'm betting that we'll see another surge in hoarding behaviors this year, just like last election time. Stock up on your ammo and reloading supplies soon IMHO.

Best,

Rich

See, that is pretty cool. Perhaps MA could become more like that. It won't help if everyone hates on gun owners who have different politics though.

It'll never happen unless the entire legislature of Massachusetts is replaced with people who respect the rights or others and respect the restrictions of their office. The odds of that happening are slim to none.

Get out of MA while you can and leave the state to implode on itself. Having watched fortyfive years of continuous restrictions on guns, I'm finally at the point where I'm leaving it behind and I'll never, ever look back. This state is beyond help and anyone who thinks otherwise is only fooling themselves. The corruption runs too deep and the public concern runs too shallow.

So throwing the baby out with the bathwater is a good thing?

They put their money and their support in that direction due to social issues - because they think that BIG GOVERNMENT is the solution to all ills. Entirely aside from gun rights - they have enabled big government to push into our lives - and TAKE AWAY LIBERTY - on a whole host of issues. Many of them the kinds of things that liberals claim to care about and get all pissed off about when somebody takes away their "freedoms".

The ranting and raving about George Bush was truly funny. Here was a good part of the lunatic left - going all ballistic when Bush was in office - because he was a "dictator" and "the devil" and all sorts of other meany names.

Well guess what - THE LEFT BUILT THAT BIG GOVERNMENT. It's what they wanted. From FDR to LBJ to Obama - it was the left that by and large has put into place the foundation and the mechanisms of big government in this country. Then they get all pissed off when some "conservatives" come along and use that power structure to do things that the left does not like.

And this doesn't even begin to address the issue around George Bush actually being seen as little more than a leftie in conservative clothing by a lot of libertarian / small govt. leaning conservatives.

It's sort of like giving a schizophrenic retard a gun - sooner or later he's going wake up one morning - think YOU are the devil - and shoot you with it. If you had any brains you would not have given him the gun in the first place.

The Left built up big government in this country - it's now being used against them by the right - which has also embraced big government - and so the Left is whining about it. The Left made that gun - and they put it into George Bush's hands. They have no right to complain when they get shot.
