Arms industry on edge, urges election eve gun purchases

[Mikej]

I would have rather seen the headline read...

"Arms Industry kicks in major bucks to fight Clinton and save their own BUTTS" ..
rather than turning this into an opportunity to make their last profits off of us. We sure as hell have been supporting them over the years..why not a little more reach around now in return.

Screw em.....if they can't invest in their own survival more than what they are doing...buy used.

Oh yeah, I agree fully. Especially the "Reach around" part!

 

[nwslopoke]

Please! Please! Everybody.......... Panic in an orderly manor!

Can I use that?

Today is different. This whole country is moving left. The number of conservatives is dwindling.

My neighborhood used to be pretty much 50/50 split in elections passed with conservative/liberal political signs on lawns. Now there is not one sign anywhere. Out on hwy 26 heading to the coast barns had Bush painted on top.

No one is on the fence. Not that it matters. If people want to pay inflated prices for guns or whatever, let them. I paid a little too much for an XD40 a while back. I'll never do it again. I won't have too! While we now have a 3rd bathroom we also have more libs buying guns. A strange price to pay.

How do you know when it's really time to panic?

When Yearly profits are down!

The Democrats have gone so far left that they almost consider Clinton to be a Republican. The Current Republican Presidential candidate spouts off stuff that sure sounds like he's a died in the wool Democrat. George Will quit the Republican party. These are the end times my friends.

As far as guns go the market is so saturated it makes no difference what Gander Mountain does. If anything I think there will be a huge gun depression no matter who wins as sellers dump their goods on the market that they were hoping to make a profit on.

Ya. I heard it's moving in on Friday.

I am not panicking ..... my nearly empty wallet is remaining perfectly calm!

I have picked up several hundred BBs in the past 3 weeks however. Good news is I have some new stock for Ebay that should replenish the old war chest as it were. If I were a betting man I think barrels and uppers if Killary is elected are going to get REALLY, REALLY scarce.

It's means there'll be bubblegumming murders....

Thinning the herd? Pacification?

Yep - like it seems to happen every time something happens that causes a 'panic' run on guns & supplies. When will people learn buying for retail in hopes of making a profit (on anything) usually results in little to no gain as they are already past the 'profit curve'?

That must be why concealed carry is legal in almost every state of the union by now.

Gun control is dead, gang. No matter how much the Ministry of Propaganda bleats about it.

There is way more to the leftist agenda than gun control. If anything gun control is a minor part if the agenda that serves as a good distraction. Look, a squirrel.

Even if Clinton gets elected, that's no guarantee there will be a Federal AWB 2.0
Highly unlikely that the Ds gain control of the House, and Rs should retain control of the Senate. Everyone should take a quick moment to remember how laws are passed in this country. The last AWB made through the Senate 52-48 and that was when Ds controlled both chambers. Nothing of the sort is on the horizon, IMHO.

They don't need the Senate or House to get rid of our firearms.

Four to Five Supreme Court Justices will be replaced in the next eight years. If Clinton makes them you can guarantee that the 2A will be interpreted as a right of the government and not an inalienable right of the people.

What if its possible that the only reason Killary is spouting support for gun bans is to get votes from the anti-freedom socialist left? Only to flip flop like she has always done snd not really go after guns much? But I could be totally wrong and didn't think that one through l.

Hillary will get elected. Get used to that. She will appoint a few supreme court justices. They have a very real habit of not overturning recent SC decisions based on politics so I really don't expect an overturning of Heller. Congress will not go along with Hillary on any gun control measures or on anything else to be honest. Congress will also not turn Democratic this election so look forward to at least 4 more years of government doing nothing. Truth be told she's a moderate Democrat with real almost Republican leanings. I dont mean the latest iteration of mob rules Republicans either. We'll get through it. It will suck listening to non stop bubbleguming about her for the next 4 years at least though.

I agree the real threat is Kate Brown. So vote for Bud Pierce.

I'm not clear what you mean when you say 'getting rid of our firearms' since there has never been a piece of legislation introduced to either floor of Congress to take away our guns.

The worry is not that a Hitlery SCOTUS will overturn Heller, it's that they will rule that every restriction (to the 2A) that the anti's can think up, is constitutional. They will do exactly what the 9th Circus is doing:

No right to carry concealed (Peruta),
MJ=no gun rights,
Magazine ban OK,
AWB OK,
Safe storage laws (like San Francisco's),
Bullet bans.

I'm not going to go into each ruling, but I think Peruta makes my point:

If you remember, the first time Peruta went to the 9th, the 2A prevailed. Then one of the anti-gun justices decided they didn't like the ruling, so they called for a vote to rehear the case and since there are more anti's than not on that court; it had to be reheard, with different justices, including setting aside the original ruling. This time they stacked the court with 8 anti's against 3 real justices to get the outcome they wanted.

I'm not clear what you mean when you say 'getting rid of our firearms' since there has never been a piece of legislation introduced to either floor of Congress to take away our guns.

If you think that Hitlery and her ilk are only going to go after the 2A via congress and laws, you are sadly mistaken.

This has been the strangest election cycle I have ever seen and I am not sure how to interpret it.

I feel the gun issue will be more determined by the states at first then the feds. If enough states go with background checks for all it is easier to pass federally as they assume it is a wanted idea by the people. Then all it would take is one more shooting and it would get pushed through even by republicans because the folks want it.

There are a lot of lower elections that could shift the power in the house and senate by changing the number of seats closer to the middle so we may still hold the power but some may cross the line more willing so the power is not as strong.

The Supreme Court is the big one they may not change the Heller case that says it is an individual right to have a gun but they could say all ARs are now NFA items and has to be registered and locked up or you cannot have more than 50 rds ammo in your home or you have to have annual training per the well regulated militia clause in the Second Amendment to maintain that right and you have to pay for said training at a cost of 1000 per year.

All this depend on the cases that are brought to them and they accept and if a state wants to pass a law saying all of this is to be law then we have to sue to change it or the court may say it's good to go.

As far as Gander Mounting goes it is a sales pitch and in my mind it's just thumbing their nose at Hillary saying we are going to sell as many gun's as we can just to piss you off.
