Do ( D )s sell more guns than ( R )s?

[Dr H]

I think so.

I used to work in gun sales. When pro- gun people see the ( D )s " getting into power" - they buy more guns and ammo.

Evidence? Ammo shortages - like the one that ended a year or so ago - only happen during periods where the ( D )s have the appearance of having a chance of passing anti- gun legislation. Just before, and during the Clinton administration - I watched guns and ammo getting sold at a frenzied pace. I would say this is the period where private ownership of military looking guns soared. They simply weren't that popular before the 1990' s. 


So?


I guess if you' re against " flooding the market with guns" - the best thing you can do is a straight ticket vote - for the ( R )s.

Sure.  One of the local gun shops here paid tribute to Obama in a string of adds run in late 2016/early 2017, for having given them several of the best sales years in their history.

And here we go again - overlook the evidence - vote partisan.


Did you read the attached story?

Gun sales are DOWN since Trump got elected.


Isn't that what you want? LESS GUN SALES??


No - what you want is to ignore the unintended consequences of your actions - and keep voting ( D ).

What I'd like to see is the CDC and the NIH being allowed to do some real research on gun violence, without Congress threatening to cut off their funding.

Nah, we just need a Democrat who's willing to use a national emergency to ban guns and force confiscation.  Woks for me.

Then we can lock up the people who refuse to give their guns away.  Thanks for the idea!

That would just instigate armed conflict in the streets.

You think people who want to keep their guns wouldn't shoot at the people they thought were coming to take them away?
