Obama= “Gun Salesman of the Year” (2009).Gun shops in Arizona have reported sales increases of 50-350% this year.

Would you be referring to the original story or your post?

[Dr. Thorne]

By “This” do mean your own post?

I dunno about retarded; I thought the author hit several salient points. My beef is that he did not go into the details regarding civil unrest. Everyone with two or more brain cells sees it coming. The unknown is how it will manifest itself.

The poor do not have a real motive to riot, as their sad state remains unchanged: they are still poor. It is the middle- and upper middle classes that are about to get economically cornholed, and I predict the unrest will start qwith them.

A police acquaintance of mine made a drunken, off the cuff comment about how there will be a day will the police do not come, and that day is fast approaching. He also said something about how every woman has a vagina and is thus a target for rapists, and that rape will spike with the coming hard times. He advised me to get a gun for my wife and train her with it.

Scary!

Great minds.

Is that anything like your brain on crack?

Man, if you haven't done that by now, you're waaay behind the power curve.

Who'da thought I'd ever get a call from the excited spouse saying, "Honey, I was out shopping and found some .45 hollow points for you AND some nine mill for me, all at the same store!"

They're angry only because their governments haven't adequately protected them from the consequences of what they did.

To paraphrase the Clinton gang: "It's the philosophy, stupid." One can avoid reality, but one cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.

[Lurker]

But my guess is that riots will be headed off by the police, who are far more numerous, militarized, and better equipped than ever before,

The number of gun owners in just my neighborhood of 105 homes outnumbers the entire Village police force by a factor of 2.

I suspect it's this way in most towns. And it's my bet that once the rioting starts the police will melt away just like they did during the Rodney King riots leaving people to fend for themselves.

You chose well!

“So far, rioters seem to be directing their attention at governments. Correct target, of course, but they don’t have the rationale quite right. They’re not angry because governments inflated the currency, promoted fractional reserve banking, and nurtured all the cockamamie socialist programs that caused this crisis. Not at all; they rather liked all that. They’re angry only because their governments haven’t adequately protected them from the consequences of what they did.”

Nailed it. Absolutely nailed it - the sheeple aren’t pissed that their government did stupid things, they’re just pissed because the government didn’t protect THEM from the consequences of its stupidity. A purely selfish reaction from a populace becoming increasingly selfish and dependent. Argh.

Precisely! So please disconnect right away.

How ironic would it be if it suddenly was safer where I’m headed?

My disagreement with the article is the author’s belief that firearms confiscation will be willingly carried out by local law enforcement.

Most of the locals I know are acquiring those evil black guns off the records (legally via private sales) and figure to protect themselves and their families.

They are on record as stating they will not participate in wholesale firearms confiscation.
