If the lying Felon is elected, the shelves will be emptied of everything within 24 hours.

The guns that I am looking to buy are from legal citizen-to-citizen sales.

It's coming folks, the “little people” are arming themselves to the hilt. Clinton, should she be elected, better have a total security plan designed for self preservation, she will damn sure need it when she calls for gun confiscation.

If the race is still tight a month from now, the shelves will be bare well before Election Day.

Remember the days when firearms and ammunition were dirt cheap?

Obama and BLM deserve a commission check.

Yeah....I do. I took advantage of it. I really don’t have any place that I can safely store any more, frankly.

Yeah, I was looking at some of the older receipts in my safe. Even the mundane stuff has doubled in price, or more, since Billy Jeff was in office.

I am part of this count for August.

I never owned a gun before. I feared having one in my home until last month. After Milwaukee and knowing Obama has 6 more months, I felt it was a necessity.

I got a Ruger LCR 38 Spcl +P.

A hand canon. Applied for the conceal and carry. Added the laser and attached it. Purchased Three types of ammo and a Speed Bee loader, so I can carry 5 in the pistol and another 5 for a three second reload. Went to the range and broke it in. New Goggles, earmuffs, earplugs, targets, range fee. So I spent about 800 bucks.

I no longer get a free ride counting on my neighbors to carry. I feel good about it. I won’t lay down for a government that wants me dead.

Good choice. Consider adding a shotgun for the home. Decent pump actions an be bought for a couple of hundred dollars.

Why is a pump action preferred to a semi automatic?

I have both and the pump is sometimes awkward.

Some have quadrupled since then. A Chinese made Norinco AK 47 was $200 or so when the rapist was president.
Surplus “battle pack” .308 at giveaway prices as other calibers were.
Those were the daze....so to speak. Great investments.

Part of my decision to get one was Hillary. Part Obama. If Hillary wins, BLM just grows and we get more Islamic jihad and BLM attacks.

If Trump wins, Obama sons ramp up the knockout game and brain stomping. It will get worse before it gets better.

No matter who wins, we need to be ready. There is no alternative.

legal citizen-to-citizen sales.

That is not legal in Colorado without a background check. A kid can not go hunting in the Colorado Youth Program as the commies made it illegal to even borrow a gun without a background check.

That’s your screwed up state (or theirs) I guess, not mine. They are perfectly legal here in Georgia. Have been all along.

The LCR, First shot was so loud, I jumped a foot backwards, with earmuff and corks in the ears. 158 grain Felt like a hammer slapping my hand. So I have to try 110 and 90 grain on my next visit to the range.

Will practice the speed loader.

We have so many Iraqi and Syrians pouring into my county, we have to be ready. We are seeing full burqa Islamo Nazis when we shop. Nothing but a slit for the eyes. When applying for the CCW permit at the county courthouse, I had to wait in line.

I hope Trump wins and deports all of them.
