In the main, I agree with you and would make the observation that the Democrats are fools if they don't tread lightly, ammunition sales have skyrocketed and many stores are sold out of popular calibres.

There is no bore like a Trump bore.

Is Mise,

Nothing wrong with every red blooded American having an arsenal of automatic weapons in the Man Cave.

After all, isn't it every American's right to take the law into their own hands?

Dear Is Mise,

Agreement? Well that is a turn up for the books.

Anyway I think you will find the spike in gun sales coincided with the worse period of COVID and its accompanying panic buying and over run hospitals. It seems to have been declining since.

Mindful also that election years generally bring about a jump with people getting ahead of proposed or imagined gun restrictions. The same happened in 2016.

“Gun sales hit a record high in 2016, according to FBI data on background checks released on Wednesday.”
“The spike in gun sales came in a year dominated by rising fears of international terrorism and the potential for a Hillary Clinton presidency, which some feared would lead to tighter firearm regulations.”

Opinion,

Americans are not allowed to have automatic weapons, they are strictly licenced and only a few are allowed to have them just about the same as in Australia.

Is Mise,

Phew . . . . . . . . . . Thank God for that!

Now all I have to worry about is all those Reds under the bed.
