Bingo, gringo.The real way they are "going for the guns" is by alienating gun owners as not part of "main stream Americana". Gun sales may be on the rise, but individual gun owners isn't matching the same count. 100 years ago, a house without a gun was an anomaly. 50 years ago a house without a gun was unusual. Today a house with a gun is unstylish. 10 years from now a house with a gun will be unusual. 20 years from now a house with a gun will be an anomaly.
They are, and have been, coming after the future gun owners. Making it more difficult for new shooters to have places to go, new places to hunt, new places to shoot. They wont need to go door to door. They will wait till more of us die off through natural causes and then our great grand kids will turn them in to the police because they don't want these strange things around. Your kids may not. Mine may not. But we all know someone who has zero interest in firearms who have been given some through an inheritance that would rather pawn them off or give them away for a Target gift card than actually hold on to them.
Bingo, gringo.
Even with some perceived or self-proclaimed “gun people,” I’m made to feel unwelcome and odd when they find out I carry. Heaven forbid they find out I may own an evil black rifle (neither confirming nor denying, for the record!).
We are being made to not fit the mold any longer.
If the opposition was of a violent type, I’d genuinely be scared. Thankfully, for the time being at least, I’d wager that I can be more ferocious when/if provoked.
Heck, even my own father, who taught me how to shoot, owns a nice collection in his own right, messaged me one night to ask if open carry was legal. He ended up mentioned about how he didn't like it and it made him uncomfortable. Trying to keep it respectful, as it was my own father, I basically had to say "At least I know about his. I probably outgun him anyhow, and he wont know about mine."
Like I have said, if you make something main stream, then overtime the "righteous" are made into the bad guys. If you ask some, I am literally the most evil person in the country, was even called a Nazi this past weekend. My crime? Saying "Keep up the good work." in a post on facebook in regards to a politician I know personally. I am a straight, white, male, Christian, conservative, who is a married heterosexual in a committed monogamous marriage. I have a full time job, a college degree, work for a bank. Have three kids who are raised in church, public school, have been vaccinated and are dressed and encouraged along natural gender parameters. I love God, guns, my family, and my nations history. And I, my friends, am a Nazi.
Worst Nazi ever...but here we are.
I've gotten over
Dude, you're screwed! You check all the boxes for the left.

same sexy couples
You two need a room?I have this wonderful ability that has come with my aging to not care what people think of me and only care for what I think of myself. I love myself. Frick anyone who doesn't like me for whatever reason be it I love guns or my country. I do not care , well off to go love myself some more.

No, I don't think they will have enough manpower to come for everyone's guns.

Turn about will be fair play. Speaking of gun buying by older people, to paraphrase a former member, “I’m old and fat and my knees aren’t so good, I’m not going to be running around fighting with you when things go south. However, what I can do effectively is hide in the woods and quietly snipe you from a distance.”Nope, but they’ll make an example of plenty
Plenty of jobs in recon, aid and support.Turn about will be fair play.

The govt. wants everyone to believe it’s all badass and does a good job talking it up. It’s agents are full of swagger and swing their dicks with a compliant populace. Once it’s support system is removed, that will change really fast.

Don’t you know this answer? Have you not heard the LEO phrase, “the law is the law buddy?”Red-flag law in Maryland led to gun seizures from 148 people in first three months. Who are the police doing these unconstitutional seizures? They are the local cops that we keep being told would never take our guns. When are the rank and file police going to start thinking for them selves? What level of gun seizure is too much for the rank and file cops?

It is. Older LEO understand the role of the position. The new breed walk around terrified. It’s either fall in line or they yell “he’s got a gun.” We know what happens after that.Isn't that the same as "orders are orders" used by the people that ran death camps....
You're absolutely right in the X ring with that comment.Most people will not be willing or organized enough to make a stand. They would rather give up their AR15 to keep their happy lifestyle and stay with their family then engage in an actual fight. Most will be in no physical condition to do so either.
Post here that you open carry and some will make you feel unwelcome and odd.
That’s because at the range I go to they hog the lane and fire off a round every 10-15 minutes. I’m not going to sit around waiting for a lane to open up. Usually they just stare at me like I don’t belong there. Probably thinking in their head how I’m a dumb millennial that isn’t good for anything. It reminds me of going to a high end golf club where the old guys will most likely never respect you.Look at the average age of people at the range. Bet many are north of 40 at least and north of 50 is probably more accurate. We may be buying guns and more guns but most young people aren't. Get a young person interested in firearms and shooting if you want the right to keep and bear arms to be maintained.

You are definitely going to the wrong range!That’s because at the range I go to they hog the lane and fire off a round every 10-15 minutes. I’m not going to sit around waiting for a lane to open up.

Unfortunately I can’t afford to join a private range, and the fact that I don’t want to support the traitorous NRA means they wouldn’t let me anyways.You are definitely going to the wrong range!
Moron Lobby!

I envy the people with the property to shoot. I’m working my way towards that goal eventually.I am truly blessed to have a back yard range.
If I could afford it, I would join Frontline Defense for the facilities, but I can work my handgun (and to a lesser extent rifle and shotgun) skills right here at home.
