In reply to the discussion: Sunday Shooting Review [View all]apocalypsehow
(12,751 posts)41. You can tell they are getting panicky, all of these "this is your only shot at gun control!!!11"
posts. They know the country is trending Blue, and with that trend MORE sensible and meaningful regulation of their deadly little toys is coming in the future. Our great-grandchildren won't be able to walk into Gump's Sporting Goods and purchase and "assault rifle" of any kind, nor likely be able to carry a concealed weapon in public unless they are law enforcement or military or have an employment-related cause (armored car guard; jewelry dealer; etc.)
That day is coming, sooner rather than later and they know it - thus the anger and vitriol and exasperation in their rants.
