A Silent Indicator of Where America Is Headed Politically

And need to collect some of my late father’s guns.

If you do, don't purchase a new one.   Keep yourself out of the database.

In half of the states, permits to carry can serve as a substitute for another NICS check. The check was done when the permit to carry was obtained.

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming, are all states that accept a carry permit as a replacement for a NICS check.

You can coerce people with threats of violence, but that will mostly harden people’s resolve to get you out of their lives the first chance they get. Elected officials who have condoned Orwellian nonsense and violence being inflicted on their communities might find themselves with a much smaller share of a secret ballot vote than they are counting on having. The leftists will probably not like being lied to by people who say one thing publicly and vote an entirely different way, and we all know how disappointed leftists tend to act, thus the gun sales imo.

“It seems that people purchasing online are in a data base somewhere.”

Yes, they have a concealed carry permit. In our old state we got the CC. While at a gun show my husband purchased another gun. There was a long line of people waiting for the okay. My husband’s came back in minutes. The vendor said, “You must be a very good boy!”

Happily we moved & now have constitutional carry. No need for a permit.

After a LONG wait, I finally went to pick up my CMP 1911 last week. I used a small shop in Smiths Station, AL that I had not used before. While I was there, a stream of people came in and asked why there were so few guns available? The wall behind the counter only had a few long guns, no black rifles or military style clones. The cases with pistols were also only half stocked. The guy behind the counter kept telling people that they were selling guns as fast as they were receiving them. I’ve not been to any other shops lately, but friends tell me of similar experiences. Glad my safe is full, and that I have steadily ordered ammunition over the years.

I have to admit that it was a shock to me that this is the direction that people decided to go, instead of using the time to learn a new skill or start a new business.

“we risk a replay of 1992 and 1996, where both major parties will agree on most major issues”

This is slightly wrong. The rulers of both major parties agreed on most major issues.

The base of the Republican party had already started to figure out (in the second half of the W administration) that its leaders were mendacious liars and had no intention whatsoever of enacting the conservative measures they campaigned on. There was never going to be a border wall, for example, if the R leadership had its way.

"If elected, the first thing the Dems will TRY to do is take away the guns. That’s where this is all going.

Good luck with that....

[ronnie raygun]

With no cops who will take away or guns?

If 50% of the country is totally brainwashed, including the majority of the two young adult generations, and most of those generations don’t believe in God or morality , how do you un-brainwash them? If if by force we can or could knock them out of power, we can’t keep a constitutional republic going at gunpoint. It has to be valued by the citizens. So that is where I’m so concerned. Maybe we can pull things out from disaster this time, but it isnt sustainable unless their hearts and moral character is changed.

I believe as well as religious revival, we must end the communist indoctrination in public schools and universities! All the guns in the world can’t fix a country if their hearts and characters are polluted with lies.

Since when do you have to have a carry permit to purchase guns and ammo, never heard of never needed one.
Probably depends on the state. In Florida, a rifle I bought on-line some years ago had to be delivered to a licensed gun dealer who charged me a $30 handling fee. Ammo came straight to my house. In Florida, you can walk out the door of a gun shop with a firearm if you have a concealed carry license, otherwise you have to wait for a background check. To get a carry license has become a bit more tiresome since the Commissioner of Agriculture (a Democrat who handles them) was elected. I think she’s being sued by the NRA.
