If they try to convince the Trumpettes that the whole thing was a con, they will destroy their party. Yup the Rs got totally destroyed in the last election https://www.npr.org/2020/11/11/933435840/the-2020-election-was-a-good-one-for-republicans-not-named-trump

“Gun industry analysts project that a Biden-Harris administration next year would heighten demand for more firearms and ammunition, even if Republicans maintain control of the Senate and gun control legislation proves difficult to pass.” ”But ever since Joe Biden was named the presumed presidential-election winner, we have seen a reaction in the marketplace, and it hasn’t subsided at all.” ”Gun sales surged this year. Some current buyers say they’re concerned President-elect Joe Biden will pursue laws making it tougher to buy weapons.” ”The prospects for Vista Outdoor could remain strong going forward, with Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden appearing to be on the verge of clinching a victory in the Electoral College. His gun control plans could fuel sales for guns and also ammunition, putting Vista in a good position, said Rommel Dionisio, gun industry analyst for Aegis Capital, in an investor’s note. “ ”Election years are always big for gun sales — if Democrats are expected to win.” I wonder if Hunter owns any stock in gun and ammunition makers?

I tried, I really tried, but when it came down to it, I thought about my daughter and had to go with the cartoon rodent once more. (Then Rs for the rest of the ticket) Ironically, Trump’s success with SC appointments made it easier to not vote for him.

I never supported Trump, I support deregulation, secure boarders, lower taxes, individual freedom and responsibilities. In that regard, given the Republican victories in the House and State legislatures and governors mansions, I would say I supported the winners. If the Rs win just one Senate seat in GA, I will be very pleased with the outcome of the election. The orange clown will be gone and with a Republican Senate and a conservative SC Biden will have as much power as he does intellect.

I was pretty sure you would pick on the implication that it was the presidential contest I was referring to, obviously I over estimated you.

Of course he beat Trump, the only person on that planet that couldn’t beat Trump was HRC.

I should have been more clear, how many of the first three contests did Biden win, and how many other Democrat candidates have won their nomination after loosing their first three contests?

So how many contests did Biden win

Where did Jerry go? Still awaiting the video of Reagan not knowing what office he was running for

I just thought it was curious, that after Mayor Pete beat Biden in the first three contests, after loosing one in a small state in the former Confederacy, he “saw no path forward for his candidacy”. AKA, things that make one say hmmm.

Good point. Biden was traveling along the well trod road to the White House, by being a two time loser in previous democratic primaries. On this go round, he would loose Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada, only to win a small state in the former Confederacy, followed by abdication of all other candidates. Yup, makes perfect sense.

Jerry, let me ask you this, was the country better off in 1980 or in 1988? JUST KIDDING! It was a rhetorical question, the answer is self evident.

Evidence? I have provided evidence, what have you got?

I really think that, given the state of the economy and the pre-covid political environment, that other viable candidates were told to stand down and keep their future political prospects in tact. While Biden was put forth as a sacrificial cow. Just like the classic “The Mouse That Roared” Biden was never supposed to win but he did.

I disagree, while Reagan did exhibit cognitive decline in his last term, he never confused his wife for his daughter or was unaware of what office he was running for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_wlQZ5N_2k as opposed to, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA7sP47e8tA

Democrat, dinosaur, dementia..... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwj4kN7XkcftAhWQ1VkKHWSSD7AQ0PADegQIBRAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newyorker.com%2Fnews%2Fnews-desk%2Fdianne-feinsteins-missteps-raise-a-painful-age-question-among-senate-democrats&usg=AOvVaw2eZFP_pVjd8DUonlmiamPG https://www.cnn.com/2017/10/10/politics/democrats-age-problem/index.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/18/opinion/letters/joe-biden-age.html

I think we have a good balance now (although I think suppressors should be available without the $200 tax stamp and six month waiting period) The French can buy them without restrictions and where they are legal, there are few/no problems with them.

I love the “was designed to KILL!!!” argument

So was the Mauser, the Henry Repeating Rifle, the Sharps breach loading rifle and for that matter the Brown Bess musket. What’s your point.

According to him and his, he wants to ban (or restrict) semi automatic firearms with detachable magazines. That would be the vast majority of firearms currently being sold. Really, if we want to save lives, we should go after the firearms that are used in most killings. But no, Biden would rather virtue signal to his brainless flock, and that makes me sad.

First of all, I could have posted dozens of links to factory ARs capable of sub MOA accuracy. I just linked to one that I was considering to purchase. Second, with regard to hunting, the difference between 1MOA and .5MOA is a distinction without a difference. Third, if COVID-19 was the sole reason for the spike in demand for firearms and ammunition, we should see demand drop precipitously as the vaccines comes online. If is due to Biden, we will see demand remain at high levels. I guess we will find out in two months.

First of all the AR is not a cartridge, if you don’t wish to be called uninformed, it would help to have a grasp on the basics. The criteria for a mil spec M4 are DIFFERENT than a commercial AR. Here is a factory AR, for less than $900, shooting factory ammunition and capable of shooting sub MOA groups. No gunsmithing, no hand loads. (sub MOA = toasting a bagel at 500 yards) https://www.rifleshootermag.com/editorial/review-ruger-ar-556-mpr/327219 You seem to be making the claim that the AR is not a suitable hunting platform as it is not available in calibers powerful enough or capable of accuracy precise enough for the task. I think I have proven, beyond a doubt, that you are incorrect on both accounts.

I agree Jerry. The specter of the impending Biden administration (and possible Democrat control of both houses) has struck fear in the hearts of many in the gun owning public. They are just talking appropriate steps to protect their interests in the unlikely event Biden will keep his word and fulfill his campaign promises. Unlike the irrational run on toilet paper this one is based in the President Elect’s own words.

https://impact601.com/news/events-of-2020-have-led-to-ammo-and-gun-shortage/article_0a97a57c-34b1-11eb-bf4c-6ba000cfcb5b.html “Backorders this year will lead to a shortage of guns and ammo in 2021 as well. Federal Ammunition, one of the nation’s biggest dealers, has well over one billion dollars in backorders and is no longer accepting any more orders for 2021.”

Unless you are hunting from a bench at 1000 yards there is no practical difference. A factory AR can hit a bagel from 500 yards, more than adequate for hunting. To call that inaccurate just reveals your ignorance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M110_Semi-Automatic_Sniper_System “The troops rated the weapon very highly, noting the quality of the weapon and its semi-automatic capabilities compared to the bolt-action M24. The United States Marine Corps will also be adopting the M110” your .338 Lapua in an AR platform BTW I never claimed ARs were more accurate than bolt guns
