Former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh started a firestorm on Wednesday afternoon when he tweeted that he would be “grabbing a musket” if Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump loses the election to Democrat Hillary Clinton on Nov. 8. But in a conversation with Yahoo News as an avalanche of responses to his post began rolling in, Walsh explained that he merely was “talking metaphorically” and not about actual violence.

Sooo...was the musket just an accessory? prop? Of COURSE he was thinking violence.
Where can you find a musket these days?
Just like the dems do when they say things like, Obama said bring a gun to a knife fight and Joe says he wants to tan the hide of Trump behind the gym or was it the barn, so on and so forth...
Of course he didn’t literally mean that he would grab a musket. But that was a very stupid thing to say.
It's stupid to let the enemy make the rules. Only losers do that
The proper response is a sarcastic, "If you don't understand what speaking metaphorically means, look it up; or let a sixth-grader explain it to you."
Not the singer?
The one who ran for president?
*yawn*
Stupid still can’t be fixed...
Keeping a musket close at hand would be damn good idea no matter what the outcome of the election in this thug-infested country.
Only among the mentally challenged.
I hold a much higher assessment of my fellow citizens.
The left appears to be scared spitless that we will start killing them by the thousands to rid ourselves of their useless carcasses....LOL
I ain’t grabbing the musket first, but it WILL be loaded when the feral filth come for my stuff.

Hillary has a video in Spanish in which Hispanic immigrants say they need someone to “grab that sword and fight!” I tried to bring it to the attention of Drudge, etc and posted it here.
I’d keep a musket with black powder and lead bullets. Right now they are exempt from gun registration. I keep a few cap and ball revolvers around too.
Any outdoor gear website: Cabela’s; Midway; etc, etc.
Search: blackpowder pistol or rifle.
Have fun!
“Keep your powder dry!”
Those are percussion cap fired.
A real musket is a smooth bore blunderbuss with a flint fired powder charge. They are hard to find, and for good reason.
But, thanks for your help.
The left can engage in actual violence with property damage, bodily harm and even bombings of offices and the response is a collective yawn from the DBM.
BUT! Let a conservative use an obvious metaphor and they have a nervous breakdown complete with hysterical squeals.
Is that right so far?
OK, then; just as long as it's fair...
The left is not worried about civilized conservatives rioting. They’re concerned the liberals will riot. Why would they riot if Hillary wins? Do all the liberals know she’s NOT going to win? If she loses, we’d all better be prepared to protect ourselves. The cops will be overwhelmed. And Obama will get to declare martial law.
Why? I agree.
And I knew it would be yahoo, AP, Reuters, etc reporting it.
But something more modern than a musket.
you’re 100 percent right.
And I dont give a #### if he meant it 100 percent.
I actually like that guy a lot now and before this didn’t know who he was.
