I do think that is changing. My concern is that we’ve gone so far down the road of people not having, or knowing how to use, weapons, that we could be in big trouble WHEN they start to say “it’s time.”

The gun business, particularly the assault weapon and ammunition sides of it, is booming. Go online to any of the larger manufacturers; in most cases you will find a minimum 4-month wait, and some companies are no longer accepting orders. Ditto ammunition; retailers sell out shipments of 2-300,000 rounds within days, and many have been sold out of certain calibers for months. On some websites and in some stores, prices for both weapoons and ammunition have nearly doubled.

As far as training goes, any tactical pistol or carbine course where I live is booked solid into the summer.

People are arming themselves, and they are training. That's what a free citizenry does when faced with a tyrannical despot.

We just bought our first handgun last week (a 9-mm S&W M&P). We joined the local gun club recently and have been shooting there for a couple of months. Next we're getting a Glock 17 and then a Remington 870 (if we can find one!) and lots and lots of ammo.

Thanks to Barack, the gun salesman of the month again!

I spoke with my brother yesterday, who is on a hunting trip at a ranch with a few friends and a bunch of strangers.

Every single hunter admitted thinking about when it would become necessary to use force against the current regime.

I have heard the same from others & I am not hearing a lot of false machismo, just a kind of heavy resignation and determination to stand against the loss of our fundamental liberties. Something to think about.

Just don’t fall into the liberal trap of calling just any semi-automatic weapon an assault weapon, or even look a likes with accouterments found on some assault weapons. Real Assault weapons are very very very expensive. That is the clue which no anti-gun liberal has. Smoke, mirrors and deception leading the American sheep down the path of least resistance. No pun intended.
