Want to sell more guns? Vote ( D )

I find it a bit humorously ironic that the best gun salesmen are Democratic Presidents.


Once again - gun sales are way up - ammunition sales are through the roof - we are back to shortages of ammo (due to sales - it's not from some conspiracy theory of "gubbermint intrusion" or anything of the sort).

Say what you like about hating Trump and Republicans - but for you "quit flooding the market with guns" types --- you really need to reconsider voting for Democrats.

It just makes people crazy and they go out and buy guns and ammo when the ( D )s win.....

Yeah, it’s like this because of people who are so paranoid about gun control that they think it’ll be their last chance to get a gun.

I guess you missed the tongue in cheek

...

To clarify.


Nobody is marketing fear - at least not that I have seen.

When you see the shelves cleared off on a gunshop' s shelf - it's not marketing genius by the marketing department of Smith and Wesson or Federal Ammunition. It' s because many right leaning gun owners have listened to the left leaners who want to stick huge taxes on guns and ammo - or outlaw types of guns. Of course this is not the entire left - but a portion of it - and those people on the right pay attention.

When you get some nutter like Diane Feinstein who wants to outlaw handguns (she did while Mayor of San Francisco in the mid 80's) the right pays heed. She is forever labeled the enemy. ANYTHING she now does is suspect.

No.. It's not fear or disinformation - it's long memories.

Of course they’re marketing fear. Gun sales spike because the right keep singing the tired old song that the Democrats are coming for your guns. Never mind that this has never happened (please cite the most recent gun confiscation enacted under a Democratic presidency), all that matters is that people believe the fairy tale.

I don’t know who coined the phrase, ‘They can have my gun when they pry it from my cold, dead hand’, but I’ll wager it wasn’t anyone on the left.

I think that was Charlton Hesston. 

I don't own firearms myself. But if I did, and my government said, "We need you to help us, could you give up this or that to help make the public safer?" I damned sure would consider it. I wouldn't be so damned paranoid as to assume they wanted to oppress me. It is no different than when smokers flipped out the more businesses banned indoor smoking. Many flipped out over that, but now banning indoor smoking is accepted. Smoking hasn't stopped though. 

This fearmongering by the far right cult worshipers to me is no different when you tell theists that their holy book has been used to justify violence. That isn't a call to ban all religions, but merely a statement of fact. 

Our flooded market is a huge problem and most certainly because of the few on the far right buying fear. 

I simply find it absurd anyone would argue that voting Democrat and points out that we have a problem is causing more gun sales. No, the sell of fear is causing more gun sales. Democrats don't want firearm owners to fear us. But those who want to reduce firearm violence should not be blamed for the marketing that preys upon that fear. The fear isn't being caused by us, but by the industries seeking to protect profits.

This is true only of the really dumb ones - who buy when supply is low and prices are high.

The smart ones already have a stockpile...

...

Hint - I won't be buying any guns or ammo for a few years....

How many of your guns were confiscated when Clinton was president? Telling you that you can’t purchase a particular item isn’t the same thing as taking that item away from you.

Uh huh...

The right finds sooo much reassurance in your assessment....



Face it - when you align yourself with gun grabbers - like Feibstein - it gets you a reputation....

There's a lot of that in this thread. What have you done to make people less afraid of people who don't own guns?

I have not done anything - as I have not met anyone who IS afraid of people who don't own guns...


Have you?

Yep. My cousins. They assume people without guns are coming for their guns. I think they'd be less panicky if they though people were coming for their dicks. Especially the girls.

But you admit you're doing nothing to slow the panic. That's a start.

It' s ironic that you go on ad nauseum of what idiots you find your cousins to be and expect that all gun owners are idiots as well....

And - you say you own a 50 cal machine gun - probably one of the DUMBEST guns a guy could own.....


But hey - whatever.....

OLB, I have seen many threads on firearms over the years and your responses. 

I have no criminal record. I could literally go and buy a firearm right now if I wanted to. But, I will laugh in your face if, for example, you owned a firearm shop, and I walked in, you knowing me from my posts, you'd sell me one.

The far right doesn't want safety laws, they merely want to protect their fragile egos and self entitlement.
