I know a long hauler who stops at gun shops across the country - from Cabella’s to Walmart - Wipe out
He was at a Cabella’s yesterday in Utah - Store not that busy EXCEPT the guns/ammo section. Said it looked like a blue light special at Wlmart.
There was a holding area where people who had purchased a weapon and now waiting for background check - all seats full and packed with standing...and a line a couple dozen long who had chosen their weapon and in line to pay - Walls and cases almost bare.
He sees this from west to east, north to south.
There seems to be a hitch in the gun grabbers plans in America. In 1935 in Germany, for example, the German people didn't have a past example of what would happen once you registered your guns ;for the public safety.”
Nor the Russians.
WE have those examples to remember what steps follow.
So what they have accomplished is to set off the most accelerated purchase of guns, I beleive, in our history. Many hundreds of thousands have added to their weapons and many hundreds of thousands of people who have never owned a gun, or thought too, are now scrambling to get weapons and taking gun safety courses.
The wannabe Despots have kicked over a hornets nest - a very BIG hornet's nest.
It started right after the first election and has picked up steam each year - then exploded after Nov 2012...and exploded again the minute the Narcissist in chief and his gang came out, on the VERY DAY of the Conn. shooting, screaming “We're coming for your guns!”
I think the depth of the reaction has shook their confidence. the easy take over they had dancing in heir heads like sugar plum fairies has vaporized.
they may have the bigger, badder weapons - but the shear number of armed citizens across this land - and their seeming determination to fight - may not have been factored into their scenario. After all, most of us, after some fuss and flurry, meekly went out and bought the little mercury
screw you light bulbs. that trial balloon for ruling the meek masses was successful.
The they upped the ante with the TSA molesters. Yes, the public really got vocal on that one - but they finally settled down and accepted it.
But this ain't looking so good. It's looking like we may not just meekly hand in our weapons. With the world watching, they have to be calculating just how far they can go. This is a VERY BIG COUNTRY - with a gun - or two or three - "behind every blade of grass."
Add to that, bottom line: They are cowards when stood up against.
Your post gives me hope. Sales numbers give me hope. The Founding Fathers beliefs give me hope.
Very well written post.
Like one poster said, they have to cross three lines.
Yellow Line(now)
Red Line, registration
Dead Line, confiscation
They are even sold out on 80% completed lowers. These have no serial numbers and have to be finished but the average machinist or do it youselfer can complate one in a few hours.
