Says Joe Biden will "...take away your guns, destroy your 2nd Amendment, no religion, no anything, hurt the bible, hurt God. He's against God..."

---

Seeing as Trump thinks he’s God ...

What’s next?
“He’ll rip out your spleen and feed it to his hellhounds.”
“He’ll boil your children in oil.”
“He’ll pee on your mother and take a dump on your father.“

How does this orange fool have any worshippers at all, let alone scores of millions?

“He’ll grab you by the....wait that’s me. Never mind!”

He's gonna HURT THE BIBLE!!

Biden will also outlaw windows. Not the OS, actual windows in your house.

And playing at a Trump2020 rally today in Ohio... "Live and Let Die." During a pandemic that has killed over 160K Americans.

Not from the Onion, this happened IRL.

How close to open Civil Warfare is this nation right now?

Serious question.

Gun sales are up 200+% from same time last year. Would be higher, but no product and minimal ammo. Seriously. People not trusting the government, politicians in general, and suspicious at best of most law enforcement.

THIS is why there is a 2nd Amendment people. Not being able to trust those whose jobs it is to protect and administer to the health and welfare of the country, and a tryant leader who thinks they are above the law.

Those who swore to protect us are failing. Here in Seattle it was announced recently that any illegal weapons found during a traffic stop won't be prosecuted. WTF? That's a federal offense? Especially if a convicted felon and a stolen and/or de-serialized firearm. That would be a 2fer/3fer right there.

I researched this in the past 36 hours, but I need to paraphrase, as I didn't take notes. I think it was for a post on a Smith and Wesson forum

3-4 million NICS checks per month since March. Of those @40% were/are first time buyers. Of those, 60ish% voluntarily identified themselves as African American, and quite a bunch more as Asian-American and Mexican-American. These numbers are from the FBI, who runs the checks. One check can cover multiple firearms in one purchase. I've done it that way twice myself. So you can't get a concrete number of firearms sold, but it gives you an idea. This wouldn't be happening if they felt safe. And firearms aren't just white boy redneck toys. Last time I did an out of state private purchase, and picked it up after the NICS check, there was a tiny young asian woman picking up a Glock 10mm. She is an elementary school teacher. Not your stereotypical firearms owner, according to the media. But they don't spend that much time at shooting ranges, so what do they know?

One of the highest olympic medal winners in the US, possibly the world, is a woman who has competed in trap/skeet for over 2 decades. Started as a teen.

I don't think there is any chance. However, if there is, I encourage the Trumpists to fight to the death.

Biden wasn't the one holding the bible upside down. Although I have to admit it probably didn't hurt it.

I doubt there are enough people these days in the US with the strength of conviction to fight over it these days. I really don't.

That could change.

Half of the president’s voters dropped to their knees at that moment.

Saint Cloud, Minnesota, where the weather is wonderful even when it isn't.

Smith & Wesson stock is up 170% YTD. Ruger is up about 100%. Ammo makers Vista is at 200% YTD.

It will be interesting to see what happens after the election. If Biden wins and the senate flips, they should go up even more. Otherwise I expect a massive correction.

Do you at least see some irony in the fact that the people who most fear government overreach have deliberately put into office the worst exemplar of government overreach that this country has ever seen? And that many of the people who are now buying guns are doing so simply to "protect" themselves from the other people with guns?

If there is any level of serious violence it’s because The Orange Emperor tries to cancel the election to stay in power by forcibly closing voting stations etc.

I also think he might try to stay in the WH after losing. But he’s a coward and too lazy to put his life on the line.

This whole administration is thick with irony.

Drain the swamp and end government corruption...by electing the most corrupt president ever.

The people who don't see the irony are the ones who still believe that Obama is a Muslim and that Hillary still runs a child trafficking ring out of Ping Pong pizza's (non-existent) basement.

Since we're talking gun sales, this is a good piece on when gun sales have spiked over the past decade.
[www.brookings.edu]

The spikes have been following Sandy Hook, San Bernardino and Parkland - when people feared a reduction in access to guns. All of those spikes led to another spike - in accidental firearm deaths, especially among children.

But this latest spike is not about that at all. People are fearful for their safety given what's happened since March: a pandemic, economic free fall, and widespread protesting and social unrest. Not saying I think that a gun purchase is the answer to any of that, but this is what some Americans do.

Others of us just eat some cake or drink more wine.

I think it’s worth reemphasizing that while Americans own more guns collectively (120 per 100 people) than almost anywhere else in the world, only a minority of individual Americans own a gun. The folks that do own guns own a lot, but in many (typically blue) areas, like most of the Northeast, for instance, fewer than 20% of households own any guns, and in a RAND study that went up to 2016, this percentage has been going down for years.

Which is to say, don’t feel left out or abnormal if you (like I) don’t own a gun. Most people don’t. Those that do own a lot of them, and keep buying more. Why that is, they’d have to explain to you themselves.

Overall it's more Covid and police/BLM would be my guess. The idiots making bad decisions sure don't help. There is irony for sure. Hasn't changed my life much, except my shooting rage is closed, despite the fact that it has one of the top 3 cleanest HEPA/HVAC systems in the state, including hospital/research facilities. Was tested and certified about 3 years ago when rebuilt. Everything sucked downrange from behind the shooters. My asthma feels better after a range session.
