“No one knows exactly what is behind the gun-buying craze.”
C’mon, Alex/Betsy — you know damn well what’s behind it. It’s called “preparedness.”
I will second that. Remember the footage of the thugs in New Orleans after Katrina? The police were pinned down and the rabble (us) were left on their own. Every time there is an economic downturn, crime goes up. Plus when you have dim senators like schumer and dim reps like bobby rush (See HR 45) floating ideas that will either make ammo so expensive we can’t afford it or HR 45 which makes us ask permission from Eric Holder is we can possess firearms we already have. Most normal thinking people who can connect the dots are figuring that some of this will come to pass. So they act on what they believe is going to happen. The other fun fact of HR 45 is that you have to ask permission to possess a gun of any type and submit a huge amount of information on yourself. For any reason they deny us permission, they now have your name, address, fingerprint, photo, type of firearm, brand and serial number on and on and on. I cannot trust this gang with that much information.
The Constitution is written in language that the common man could understand. I means what it means, no more.
