Went to local gunshop to stock up, can’t even buy buckshot they are sold out of almost everything.

People are arming themselves now that the Dems are admitting to wanting to eliminate police.

[PGR88]

C’mon guys. You’re not going to let Chicago beat you, are you?!

[lgjhn23]

They need more guns & ammo.

[FenwickBabbitt]

Their city, their choice. This is what they wanted rather than enforcement of the law.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Heck, that’s just a month in Chicago.

For what little good it will do for people, other than deal with any immediate threat stemming from a small number of individuals. As soon as a state sends out its troops to enforce whatever mandate they have decreed, most gun owners will be wetting themselves as they stand alone to fight the government. Very few on the right are willing to sacrifice their lives or lifestyle in support of this country.

Fox News using the term “Gun Violence”?! Those damnable violent guns!

Of course, Fox News is mostly just the “loyal opposition”. As soon as we let the Left frame the argument in their terms we have already lost. If we accept the use of terms such as “Gun VIolence”, “Systematic Racism”, “Dreamers”, “LGBT Rights” and many more we aren’t arguing, we are surrendering.

We need Rudy Giuliani’s STOP & FRISK fully enforced across the country!!!

And we must clear our streets of any further violent protests.

It’s time to call out the regular military and not just rely on unarmed National Guard. Enough is enough, already!!

So, how are those super duper strict gun “control” laws working out for ya in NYC ?

Oh my, those “white supremacists” in NYC are running wild and terrorizing the peaceful inhabitants.

The Sentient Sheep: “So, how are those super duper strict gun “control” laws working out for ya in NYC ?”

NYC: “Not so good. We’ll pass another dozen gun bans. That should do the trick.”

Went to a local gun show yesterday here in TN, and there were some slim pickings. Quite a few of the larger gun dealers weren’t there due to low running stock on firearms. Did manage to talk the one dealer into selling me 1k rounds of 5.56 and 9mm. Prices were reasonable for the most part, with a few AR dealers having some jacked up prices.

Pikers. They cleared those numbers with ease in the 1970s and 1980s.

Go nyc!!! What an exciting city to visit. Who knows...if you aren’t able to dodge bullets, you will get a (posthumous) visit to the morgue (and maybe Potter’s Field). What fun!! nyc is the Big Rotten Apple. What excitement... I laugh at the result of LIB/DIM/leftist lunacy. More popcorn!!!

"We need Rudy Giuliani’s STOP & FRISK fully enforced across the country!!!"

So, after we do away with the 4th Amendment, do we renumber 5 through 27 or do we just leave a gap where number 4 used to be?


Fourth Amendment - U.S. Constitution

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

""New York City is one of the most restrictive CCW jurisdictions in the country, and it is very hard to get. On average it takes between six and nine months. It's recommended that one use an attorney who is experienced in the process," Nino Bosaz, the New York-based editorial director of Athlon Outdoors, told Fox News. "The initial application usually results in a denial that must then be appealed. The city does not generally recognize an individual right to carry outside the home, and tie the carry license to a business, where the applicant must prove a 'justifiable need' to carry concealed." Doesn't seem to affect criminals.
