Democrat administrations lead to a boost in gun sales. Americans don't feel safe when the left is in charge. It's that simple. 

Hmm.  So you are saying it benefits the gun lobby to have Dems in charge?

It definitely benefits the gun industry. 

Between skyrocketing crime rates and their constant gun ban threats, people feel the need to arm themselves for their own safety when Dems are in charge.

Never met a gun owner who wasn’t a good, law abiding citizen and a stand up person. 
 

There has got to be a way to allow gun owners all of their rights while making it more difficult for bad guys and crazies to get their hands on guns. Got to be.

Strict enforcement of current laws and harsher penalties for recidivism would be a good start.

We don’t spend enough on the ATF to enforce our current laws. And whenever it’s proposed that we spend more, Republicans in Congress oppose it.

We don't need to spend more on ATF to properly sentence the violent criminals that law enforcement catches and arrests.

It's why I largely believe zip will be done on issues like the border, guns, health care and others.   Doesn't matter who is in charge, the profit is there.   If that's the case, why should we believe any decent long term solutions will be enacted?

Of course not. They aren't going to do anything the jeapordize their gravy train. That's why term limits are imperative. But they'll never allow that to happen.

Term limits and getting rid of lobbyists.  Neither will happen.   

It won't stop us from arguing "teams", though will it?

It's sad, but it's largely why I cross some issues off when voting.  I feel like it's to the point no decent solution will come no matter who I vote for.  The 1% is getting theirs no matter what.  

I guess that leaves us to argue about trannies and wokeness.

That's their plan. amongst ourselves over petty sh!t keeps us from holding them accountable for the important sh!t.

Well you raised two issues: enforcement of existing laws, and more restrictive punishments. When I countered about the ATF you now claim that it’s not necessary if we have better sentencing. So is enforcing the existing laws really that important to you? Because it doesn’t sound like it. 
 

As far as sentencing goes: the Soros backed attorneys general didn’t come out of nowhere. They actually have some very good ideas if you can put aside the ideological blinders. Increasing punishment has failed our society as a deterrent to crime. We need a more nuanced approach; mandatory minimum sentencing (which you appear to be promoting) is not the way to go.

Enforcement of existing laws is important. Allowing violent recidivists to remain on the street isn't enforcing the law.

Lil Durk Addresses Active Shooter And Merch Theft At Chicago Concert

....Lil Durk concert at United Center in Chicago ended early due to reports of an active shooter. Videos emerged of crowds evacuating the venue, as did videos of attendees looting unattended merch stands. There was already some skepticism about the claims, with police scanner accounts claiming that arena security had already confirmed that no shots had been fired....... Police are now investigating as to who was responsible for the false reports of an active shooter, which caused mass panic and the premature end of the concert. No injuries have been reported and no arrests have been made. While some attendees still claim to have heard shots, no evidence to corroborate that has been found....

....Taking to Instagram, Lil Durk addressed the various claims coming out of the Chicago concert. “.... And who all stole the merchandise – tag me so I can repost y’all crazy @ss.....” While Durk mentioned the merchandise theft, his response did not mention the allegations of an active shooter.....Durk has been linked to the murder of FBG Duck through an FBI informant. Documents relating to the case were published on Instagram over the weekend, with Durk and his brother both being mentioned by a confidential informant. Several fans have taken this to mean that Durk is actively working with law enforcement....

Imagine you are in a large crowd, then there is a report of an active shooter. Then you see nearly everyone around you fleeing in panic. Would you or would you not wish you had a firearm on you right at that moment? 

Look at the video above, people were fleeing, but the conditions were potentially lethal. Few exits. Huge crowd. All fighting to get out in the same narrow areas and corridors. You could just as easily be stampeded as much as shot. I'm not advocating for anyone to take firearms in to a concert. I am saying the public situation you are in could go very very bad, very very quickly. And having a firearm might be your only chance to survive. Some of you will disagree. That's your right. It's also your right to be gunned down by some psychopath mass shooter as well while being cornered and unarmed. But it might not end up that way. What's the difference? 

If you are armed, you have some control over your own destiny. If you are unarmed, your fate will rest in the actions and behavior of other people. It's pretty much that simple.

North Dakota police officer's bodycam footage shows moment he was ambushed

.....Fargo, North Dakota, police bodycam footage of a deadly assault on officers July 14 was released Thursday, which showed the tense situation one officer endured before fatally shooting the suspect.....North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley and Fargo Police Department Chief David Zibolski held a news conference Thursday to go over surveillance and body camera video evidence of the police-involved shooting in Fargo.....That day, 37-year-old Mohamad Barakat shot and killed Fargo Police Officer Jake Wallin and wounded three other people, including officers Andrew Dotas and Tyler Hawes, who were responding to a traffic crash....Also injured at the scene was Karlee Koswick, a bystander who attempted to flee the scene.....

....Officer Zach Robinson was also at the scene when gunfire began and is credited with stopping a much bigger attack by shooting and killing Barakat....In the bodycam footage from Robinson’s perspective, police were seen responding to a traffic crash. About 38 seconds into the video, rapid fire was heard while several people were seen running for cover....."Central, we got a man with an AK-47 shooting at us," Robinson reported, when more shots are fired by Barakat...."Central, shots fired, shots fired," Robinson said. "We got three officers down, three officers down....."

.....Wrigley said Robinson was "the last man standing between what was coming next, and you can see this assailant was armed for."....The attorney general also said Robinson’s use of deadly force was reasonable, necessary, justified and lawful.....Investigators searched Barakat’s vehicle after the shooting and found numerous guns, 1,800 rounds of ammunition, a homemade grenade and explosives.....Barakat came to the U.S. in 2012 as a Syrian national on an asylum request...

*******

What if, tragically, something also happened to that 4th officer? What if those officers were not there at the time? 

Do you think if the above circumstances were the case, that Karlee Koswick wished she had a firearm on her person at the time? Or anyone else there? Or anyone else pinned down and with their kids? 

Whether or not people here, or out there, like it or not, more violence is coming. I wish that were not the case. But I can't change how the world works right now. 

Point to note, Barakat came into this country during the reign of the Obama Administration. The same Obama, through Eric Holder, that gave the same kind of AK-47 that Barakat used here,  to the Sinaloa drug cartel, to help armed them, with our TAX DOLLARS, to guard the fentanyl shipments being trucked into the United States, to help kill Americans through drug overdoses. The production grade "precursor" is coming from China. Through shell companies that are thinly veiled fronts for the CCP. Of which Joe Biden, through his brother James Biden, and of course Hunter Biden, continue to profit from and has done nothing to stop the fentanyl crisis in this country. Biden was also VPOTUS during Operation Fast And Furious. That claimed the life of a Border Patrol Agent, Brian Terry. Biden also abandoned billions in weapons, again with TAX DOLLARS, for the Taliban and other terrorist groups in Afghanistan. 

Step 1 - Let psychopaths into this country, without respect to our national sovereignty,  where Team Blue makes it "America Last" 

Step 2 - Take TAX DOLLARS and arm terrorists and drug cartels

Step 3 - Defund The Police

Step 4 - Enable "bail reform" and pro crime "equity first" Soro's bought DAs that that have destroyed civil order in Big Blue Cities

Step 5 - Try to take everyone's guns with excessive gun grabbing laws

Step 6 - Gaslight the public at large, while being guarded by highly trained professionals, armed with guns themselves, paid with our TAX DOLLARS, while they set public policy to leave all our families and children out as pure prey

So what's the message? We are all on our own. No one is coming to save us. And if no one else is going to defend your personal safety and the security of your family, then you need a gun.

NY ammo sales soar, shops close on eve of change in state gun law

....Stores across New York saw a run on bullet and gun purchases this week in advance of the state’s new background check laws on firearms and ammunition......The law, which took effect Wednesday, requires firearm shops to send background checks on guns through the New York State Police, instead of directly to the FBI, while also making background checks a requirement to buy bullets as well......The law also created new fees, $2.50 for ammo purchases and $9 for gun purchases, and The Firing Pin offered discounts on both “before the state starts hoarding all your information....”

..... Mud Creek Guns and Ammo in Kennedy, NY and the Valley Gun Shop in West Falls, NY, owned by Jack Herbst, who told The Post he doesn’t want to subject his customers to state data gathering he considers invasive.....“My customers don’t want anything to do with it,” Herbst said. “People are refusing to buy anything because they have to go through this nonsense.....New York State’s new compliancy laws for dealers will make it extremely difficult to stay in business, with background checks on firearms and ammunition going through the state with ‘processing fees,'” the shop posted online late last month, announcing their closure. They were in business for 33 years.
