The store where I work has been selling 250+ guns a day since this started, increasing from the Chicom Cooties buying.
70-80% are first time buyers.
Dims know it and will be presenting all types of off the wall BS legislation to keep the narrative going, like amo restrictions, red flag laws you name it.
I have relatives that would never own a gun and are now heading to the store for advise and trng
Gun control for me has been dead for years.
Most Dem gun owners will continue to vote Democrat, IMO. They’re scum. Anyone still voting Democrat is scum.
For the life of me, I do not understand why guns are not handled the same as homosexual marriage. Find a state with a very relaxed attitude where “anything goes” and then demand that all other states have to follow that exact model. It’s just too complex legally to have 50 different sets of laws for marriage or gun ownership.
“Shall not be infringed” is pretty clear.
I’m not sure I agree with this. Liberals have very short memories.
I have a couple of marriage related family that I convinced of the importance of gun ownership and our right in that regard.
Two weeks after agreeing completely with me they go right back to no guns blah blah blah. One is a woman from New York who is Jewish, you would think all Jews would be pro-gun based on history. They also apparently have very short memories.
And keep in mind even if they’re temporarily convinced that guns are good idea they’re still going to go to the polls and vote for the Democrats that want to outlaw guns. So the end result is the same. These people are stupid and they’re not going to get smarter.
Unless full anarchy does descend in the next few months this is temporary.
Most of the newly purchased firearms will soon be locked up in a manner that makes them useless if needed.
The buyers will run out of motive to practice, many will decide they do not need a firearm after all, and sell them, or even turn them in to the police.
After each buying frenzy there is a major lull, many shops and some manufacturers will go broke during that lull.
Right now many shops are unable to make the sale unless the buyer has a CCW, as the NICS system is so overwhelmed.
This accomplishes what the anti’s desire, unless you already have a CCW “Permit” you are a second class citizen and will have difficulty legally obtaining a firearm at retail.
Thus we get the “Gun show loophole” fallacy.
If full anarchy does descend ALL “Gun Control” does end, along with limits on what we may obtain or build as needed. “Say hello to my little friend!”
I’ve seen changes on the far Left regarding gun control...the thinking being that it is actually a plan to increase the policing power of the white supremacist state. (I’ll disarm when the police disarm” etc).
Along with this good news is that the NRA membership rolls are also skyrocketing. This means that more and more people will get the other side of the story with their free magazines. Media control over the gun control narrative will take a hit.
