Wake up Wednesday morning after one of those freaks is elected, what will you do for the next 4 years? Hide? Cry? Party? Build a bunker? Arm yourself? Do nothing? Eat waffles? Go for a drive? Carry on with life as normal?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and I don’t know specifically what I’ll do, as it depends on who gets elected and what they do, but one thing I’ve been trying to do lately is be more pleasant. Our country seems biased toward hate. Hate people that are different than you, hate people who disagree with you...on BOTH sides. While I won’t be wishy-washy on my views, I can disagree with someone while still respecting their basic value as a fellow human being. Lower the volume, lower the rhetoric, reach out instead of pushing away. The response to that is often “well, the other side isn’t doing it”, and that may be true, but I can only control what I do, not what ‘you’ do.

Reading comprehension issues? They don’t have to take my guns if I can’t find ammo or afford ammo. Or if they take away magazines with any decent capacity. Or if they won’t sell you a gun that has a button for a magazine release, like what they are trying to do in Cali.

Election Day is Tuesday (tomorrow). When you wake up Tuesday morning, the election still won’t be over.

And things won’t be over once all the votes are tallied, no matter who wins. Both of them are unpopular enough for Congress to continue its obstructionist deadlocking for another eight years, which will be really awesome (/s) for all us normal folks.

I need to buy more ammo for my shooting team (and myself) before ammo prices skyrocket like they did when Obama was elected. As well as the fact that there was some shortage issues.

But other than that I’m going to carry on with my life because I’m an adult now damnit and that’s what you’re supposed to do.

In all seriousness though, it really sucks that these two were who I got to choose from for my first election, and I want these 4 years to be quick and painless.

So much this. The states with later dates become completely inconsequential. Hypothetically speaking, what if I was a Jeb Bush supporter? In my home state (NJ) he had dropped out 3 months before I even had a chance to cast my vote. How is this the will of the people? Primaries should be just like the general election. This whole pandering to individual states is bullshit.

Everyone should vote on a single day. And it should be based on the popular vote, not delegates (or the electoral college). Case in point, let’s look at North and South Dakota. Say you have a million residents in those two states, and they all vote for candidate A. But combined, these two states only get 6 Electoral College votes.

Meanwhile, Candidate B narrowly beats Candidate A in Texas who has 38 E.C. votes. Say the difference between Candidate A and B was only 300,000. The people of Texas have essentially dictated to the residents of the Dakotas that their votes don’t mean a damn thing. Even though Candidate A got all of those votes in the Dakotas, it doesn’t mean anything, because he didn’t win where there were a higher concentration of E.C. votes. The system is broken.

Just to clarify because I haven’t heard of this before. Prices of ammo sky rocketed because of supply and demand right?

Gun owners fearing dems would take away yer guns, not dems actually doing anything. So isn’t Musashi66 and yourself saying you’ll buy ammo feeding into exactly that again?

getting ready for the loonies to start a civil war.

Did the civil war really ever ended in a sense? It seems like there’s not much difference, a nation divided, war still fought between two parties except the weapon now isn’t physical force but digging dirt on opponents and political tactics.

Honest question.

Finding or affording ammo is a function of the market. People panic and buy up all available stock. There’s nothing restricting the amount of ammunition any company produces.

As far as magazine size goes, that’s become a complex debate. Same with the magazine release button. Both of those measures are attempts to lessen the impact of mass shootings. It’s about giving the people who are the subjects of those mass shootings more time to escape or subdue the perpetrator.

IIRC, and don’t quote me on anything, it started when Obama proposed a 5 cent tax on every bullet sold. That may not sound like much, until you start applying it to lower priced ammo, at which point it would have increased prices %50-%150. That was when the big rush began and people started hoarding ammo, and that’s when it became self perpetuating. Ammo, (especially, .223, .22, 9mm) was suddenly very hard to find, so when you did find it, you bought as much as you could, because who knows when they’ll have it next, thus continuing the cycle.

I worked at a store with a sporting goods department during this and watched it happen first hand. When we finally did get .22 in most of it was snatched up by employees before it even made it to the floor. They had to put a ration on it for everyone eventually, 2 boxes per person, per day, and it still wouldn’t last more than two days tops.

Ahh okay, I was unaware. Theres at least some reason for it then, but still supply and demand based. If I cared that much about shooting I would have bought bullets yesterday.

Oh, no I’m not saying it’s particularly anyone’s fault. Supply and demand was mainly the reason. (Even though Obama did add a larger tax on ammo I believe.) It’s just that I want to avoid paying more for ammo. I usually have to buy at least 2500rds of 12 guage a week.

I’m definitely on some sort of watch list.

I hate BMWs. Give me your BMW and I’ll melt it and you can drive a Honda Fit - no one needs more of a car than Honda Fit.

Before you say that my guns are more dangerous that your car, car related accidents kill more people in this country than guns - by far.

Before you say that my guns are designed to kill, I’d say they are also designed for target shooting, which is all I use them for.

Before you say they are dangerous, I’d say they are inert pieces of metal and plastic, sitting quietly in my safe, and are as dangerous as as a stationary car until I decide to do something with them.

Taking my stuff and my rights, just because you don’t like them, although they have no influence on your life is as non-American as it gets. On the other hand, standard liberal school of thought is that we need to be diverse and accept everyone even though they are different - as long as that different person is not someone who likes guns. I’ll end here because I am reaching the limit of “be nice oppo”.

No, see, talking about specific reasons you like guns, or why I don’t like guns, is really pointless here.

The beginning and end of my opinion on guns is they are bad and should go away.

Second Amendment enthusiasts have their reasons why they like guns, every single one of which I consider invalid. Similarly, any reason I could possibly tell you for why you should not be allowed to have guns, you won’t consider valid either.

I have no opinion of a personal nature about the people who disagree with me on guns other than that their position is wrong. That doesn’t make them assholes, or evil, or anything else beyond obstacles to what I think should be done about guns.

That’s a production side issue, they know that if they make ammo seem scarce they can jack up prices, and people will simultaneously hoard it too keeping it scarce. They are capable of making far more ammo, but they choose not to in order to keep the consumers buying at a higher price.

MUSASHI66 > Textured Soy Protein 11/07/2016 at 14:00

Again, why?

The world has already showed us that if someone is intent on killing, they will get some chemicals and fertilizer and kill hundreds. They will get a truck and run over and kill dozens. They will get a machete and kill or wound many. They will get poison. They will light houses, buildings, forests etc on fire. They will get damn box knifes and send planes crashing into buildings killing thousands.

Do you ban everything that can kill? Do you ban cigarettes and doughnuts and burgers and fries and sodas - all those kill way more people that gun violence?

Do you ban knives and machetes and screwdrivers and forks and scalpels and box cutters and crowbars and hammers?

Do you know that 0.00003% of people if this country die by gun homicide? Even if you include non-fatal gun violence, suicides and anything else gun related, the number is 0.0032%. Gun violence in USA is a statistical anomaly.

Do you know that guns are banned in say, Honduras, and they have (among the) largest homicide rate in the world?

Do you know how many guns are in Switzerland and they don’t have a gun issue there?

Do you know how popular lever action shotguns are in Australia because those are not banned based on the wording of their gun ban? Even Australia, that example of ever liberal (“they managed to ban guns in Australia, why can’t we do it here”) talking about getting rid of guns, is not free of guns. Not even close.

At a certain point, a person just needs to put their big boy/girl pants on, and live their life.

But then again, opinions are like assholes, everybody has one. I for one will never vote that someone takes away your rights and freedoms which don’t bother me in any way.

I think they just sell whatever they make, and federal and state government agencies are always buying by the millions as well.

But, if any of the proposed laws become real in California, who is to say other states won’t try to follow their lead?

Exactly, there’s no push to manufacture more when you’re selling every shell you make and driving the profit margins up in the process. The tooling paid for itself long ago. The government contracts are the only thing pushing them to invest in capacity.

You responded to this...

Second Amendment enthusiasts have their reasons why they like guns, every single one of which I consider invalid. Similarly, any reason I could possibly tell you for why you should not be allowed to have guns, you won’t consider valid either.

...by sharing a bunch of reasons for your opinion and asking for mine.

There’s no magical truth bomb that either of us could say that would convince the other.

If I give you a bunch of rationale for why I want all guns to go away, you’re just going to try and argue about those reasons. We will ultimately get nowhere at all.
