If people expect civil war, it makes sense they are buying guns.

[OttawaFreeper]

Two important reasons here.

[elcid1970]

“...politics have been the major driver of guns sales for the last decade.”

Money quote!

Explains why gungrabbers screech “You don’t neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed an assault rifle!!!”, followed by “nobody wants to take away your guns!!” Liars all.

[InABunkerUnderSF]

I used to think guys who carried backup guns were mall commandos and that one gun with a spare mag and a knife should be enough for anyone.

After Maxine Waters called for the public menacing of people who didn't share her political views I invested in and now carry one, one that can't be knocked out of battery in close engagements. Front pocket, weak side.

I'm too slow to run away and too old to take a beating.

It’ll be a Chinese fire drill...thousands of inexperienced gun owners trying to emulate movies and shooting each other in the process.

Back during the War Between the States, most combatants on both sides knew how to shoot guns, based on their experience hunting for game.

Today, their experience is mostly on X-Box.

I’m sure they think “war” is just another video game, and if they get “killed”, they can regenerate themselves in the next level, or, just re-boot.

Make America Gunbuyers Again

[bgill]

A couple years ago, it was because of the Kenyan. Today, it is because the left has gone off the deep end over EVERYTHING.

[Ancesthntr]

The simple answer as to why Americans keep buying guns and such large numbers is, indeed, politics.

They slightly more complex answer is that is because of Democrats. When in power, Democrats seek to limit gun rights, leading toward some kind of ultimate confiscation. When not in power, they riot in the streets. Either way, any sensible American would wish to have multiple weapons and lots of ammo for them.

[DarthVader]

The left is turning into Nazis and requires elimination.

[Lurkinanloomin]

The left refuses to acknowledge that President Trump was fairly elected (despite their massive cheating).

Until they stop trying to remove him from office, we will continue to prepare.

We recognize that President Trump is our last chance to keep the rule of law and our country.

"...Civil War II..."

---

CWII is not a concern to me. Our republic is sufficiently strong that we likely don’t need to panic for the immediate future.

What is disconcerting is the likelihood of random, pop-up, leftwinger violence that can leave innocents just as dead as full-scale war. For example, my home is in a lily-white town surrounded by other lily-white towns. Successful and peaceful residents populate all of them.

The virtue-signaling leftwinger church (a quarter-mile away) got the big idea they should sponsor a Black Lives Matter march even though none of their parishioners are black and there have never been reports of police brutality in town. Probably because a “crime wave” around here would be people jaywalking. Or maybe cutting the tags off a sofa that say they shouldn’t be removed...

Anyway, this moronic church managed to import busloads of angry black people and self-hating leftwingers to our little hamlet. I am talking multiple hundreds of chanting, riled-up, people who do not live here...all milling around and looking for any excuse to fight/riot. All it would take is one garbage can going through a storefront window or one car being set on fire to energize the mob. The tension was t-h-i-c-k that day.

So who wants to be that innocent and unarmed person a quarter-mile away when that thuggish mob goes completely feral? That safe full of firearms (that many people around here possess) was a tremendous source of comfort and resolve. Protesters can chant, they can wave signs, yet the moment cars start getting flipped onto their roofs or people start tossing rocks and bottles...the game changes. That is my assessment of what I think could typically occur on a local basis when leftwingers don’t get their way.

The country is one that was founded on personal responsibility and gun ownership. It’s a small investment for the few times one might need to utilize it. It’s cheap insurance and given the crazed violence of the Left and the drugs flowing over our open borders and the gangs we allow in and the mental illness we apparently don’t recognize people are smart to protect themselves.
