#1 The gun grabbers did a victory dance when Colt suspended manufacture of AR platform rifles for the civilian market. I'm sure we won't hear a peep out of them about this development.

#2 How are those fake news polls about Biden leading Trump squared with people voting with their money?

#4 Nope, try again. It's because they see a lawless element allowed to run free in blue cities

#5 If you think the lawless element is bad now, and I do, just wait until Trump is re-elected.

#7 The fear of an Orange Man defeat in November (heralded daily by the media) could account for an increase in firearms purchases.

They won't be coming after your Keurig on Day-1 of a Plugs presidency. They'll be coming after your firearms.

#9 I find the belief that they only riot because Trump was elected - and will stop if/when he's gone, as the (ahem impressive) belief that covid 19 is DNC plot.

#10 /\ I wouldn't call COVID-19 a DNC plot (much bigger than those bozos), but they are gleefully participating in everything about it. Just ask Grandma Killer Cuomo, for example.

#12 Ref #9: DNC Plot.

Notorious Southern Illinois bootlegger Charles 'Charlie' Birger did not invent the automobile. Charlie did however, find it to be a very useful convenyance. (White shirt, seated on running board)

#13 ^You do notice that not just NY, NJ, and Mass - but California as well - have worse CV19 stats than Texas?

These Bozox are stupid AND evil.

#15 Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.

Except that the Democrats/Leftists have demonstrated their malice repeatedly. You don't live here, so what is your interest?

#17 ...cause all politics is local. In this case the best defender that Israel has seen in generations in the White House.

#18 ^Also USA is the only one capable of dealing with China - which is both very powerful and has shown itself to be a rogue state. However, only Trump seems to be aware of the problem.

#19 Grom, you really think the Dems would/are not going to throw an even bigger temper tantrum when Trump is reelected? Lets just say my Bravo Company AR will hedge my bet.

#20 The antifa types are certainly going to riot if Trump is reelected, but they're also going to riot if Biden is elected. They're anarchists, and view the identity of the occupant of the Whitehouse as a mere nicety. I'm not sure the less-crazy Democrats have grasped the idea that they'll be the first against the wall.

#21 #19 No. I just don't think one can appease them - in case somebody thinks one can.

#22 I can just imagine the woke crowds face when it gets slapped. The media will be first to turn against them looking for dirt, if Biden is elected.

#23 They're anarchists

Nope. They are nihilists.

Same as it ever was.

#25 Me not too long ago:
Yeah, think I'm good.

Me after reading after action reports from CHAD:
Need me an AR-12 position.
