[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2923545, member: 9374"] 1. I believe Hillary is going to sweep to victory in dramatic and overwhelming fashion, similar to Obama. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know if I hope I am correct or [B]not[/B], honestly. That's how bad this whole situation is. :explode: 2. No way I am advocating "taking up arms". What are you going to do? Stand guard on your lawn because the person you didn't want elected to the Presidency won? What would that accomplish? Or in terms of "taking up arms", is someone advocating storming government offices and/or full-blown revolt? Stupid. 3. President Barack Obama did not accomplish a ban on certain types of weapons, but it wasn't for lack of trying. He politicized every shooting event he could, especially any with racial under/overtones, in an attempt to push his agenda - but he failed. He simply didn't have the grass-roots support of any but the liberal Hollyweird media and some nutbag Washington politicians like Reid and Pelosi. Let's face it, the majority of Americans ARE concerned that the .gov is eyeing their firearms askance, and the lobbying power of groups like the NRA had even a number of Democratic legislators from typically-conservative states afraid to back their leadership in the attempt. 4. Price gouging is a given and inevitable given #1. How long, how hard and how bad remains to be seen, but I STILL haven't seen .22LR at WalMart in nearly 4 years. Many prices have come down, availability is back to normal on gun [B]parts [/B]and most ammo, but .22 is still in short supply, though it isn't the dodo bird or skunk ape it [B]used[/B] to be. 5. I have made no secret I've bought more lowers and parts recently, but I suspect a lot of others are doing so and are keeping quiet about it, either from fear of reprisals in venues such as this where people complain you are "fueling the fire" of the gun scare, or just plain don't want the .gov to have an easy trail to their door. Others are probably waiting until tomorrow night, or Wednesday and will rush out and buy whatever they can find, given #1. That's just my take on all of it. [/QUOTE]
