Firearm Purchases

OK, Beto, make your move.
“No use your buying those AR-15s because we’re just going to take them away from you.”
I wonder how many police departments or military commands would obey a Beto command to go out and start disarming law abiding citizens. I notice the Democrats never say “We are coming to disarm illegal alien gangs or black gangs in Chicago and other big cities”. I wonder why?
Interesting
They put down six major events: Obama Starts, Obama Ends, Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, George Floyd, Corona.
They really should use “Antifa Insurrection” instead of “George Floyd.”
“I wonder how many police departments or military commands..”
We already know about the police but the military is yet to be determined.
“I wonder how many police departments or military commands would obey a Beto command to go out and start disarming law abiding citizens.”
However many might start, it will be fewer a week later.

Not very many. Most LEO’s and military, especially those in elite combat units, are conservatives. And, many of them come from inter generational families meaning they have parents, aunts, uncles, cousins who have served. So, they won’t be willing to go knock on Uncle willard’s door and demand his firearms. They for sure won’t fire on him or other civilians. However, there’s always a few, perhaps tactical units in FBI, ATF, etc, who would be willing to do the government’s dirty work as they did at the Dividian community and Ruby Ridge. But, on a national scale they won’t be enough.
What ever happened to Lon Honeruci (sp) after Ruby Ridge? I heard he changed his name and disappeared.
Good graph. Colorado has a peak for Columbine, but that is not marked on the graph.
What bothers me is how many of the “LtCol. Vindmans” are left because of the Obama purge: “at least 197 officers that have been relieved of duty by President Obama for a laundry list of reasons and sometimes with no reason given.” and will they obey unconstitutional orders?
Guess I forgot to ‘banglist’ it. And KABA and 2nd. Oopps!
The murdering POS did some promotions for H S Precision and we haven’t heard much from him since.
Looks like the Amish in PA are arming up
WHY DOES IT COST 4 TIMES MORE TO RENT A U-HAUL TO MOVE FROM NEW YORK TO FLORIDA THAN FLORIDA TO NEW YORK?
Posted by Matt Bracken | Aug 9, 2020
Over the past few months of the Covid-19 pandemic panic and Antifa/BLM communist insurrection in Democrat-run cities, we have become aware of a few interesting facts, such as that gun sales are breaking all-time records, and, anecdotally, that many thousands of Americans are “voting with their feet” by moving from liberal Democrat-run cities and states to more conservative areas of the country.
I’d long heard that you could tell where people are moving by comparing the cost of renting moving trucks for one-way trips. A quick internet search did not locate any recent articles on the subject, so I decided to do my own study, which took only a few minutes. Here are the results. You may plug in any pick-up and drop-off cities on the U-Haul website to find your own results. I did this on a Sunday afternoon, while opting to pick up my hypothetical vehicles on the next Wednesday.
I only looked at 26 foot U-haul trucks, described as adequate to move the contents of a 3 to 4 bedroom house. In other words, a family making a long-distance one-way relocation move. Presumably the disparity in rental costs reflects the cost to U-Haul of hiring paid drivers to return empty trucks to liberal Democrat-run cities and states that Americans are fleeing. If you want to drive a U-Haul truck from Florida to New York, you are saving them from paying a driver to make the same trip with an empty vehicle. Please note that the greatest rental cost disparity is between New York and Florida: it will cost you four times more to rent a truck south-bound than in the other direction.
To turn this discussion in a political direction, I don’t think that many New Yorkers who are uprooting their lives to move to Florida this summer are going to be voting for senile Joe Biden and his Antifa-BLM-Democrat handlers and teleprompter speech writers in November, but that is merely a surmise on my part. No wonder Florida real estate prices are soaring, while New York prices are crashing. (Not to mention that once they reach Florida, thousands of them are purchasing their very first firearms, which is not usually a sign that people are turning in a more politically liberal direction.)
