Now its the liberals who are arming up
 
Source: McClatchyDC

When it looked all but certain that Hillary Clinton was going to win the presidency, nervous gun rights advocates reported stockpiling guns and ammunition they feared would no longer be available if the Democrat won the White House.

The threat of Clinton presidency, along with several recent mass shootings, had led to 18 straight months of records in the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check system for people seeking a permit to buy a firearm. Many were concerned the government would enact regulations restricting their access to guns.

But since Republican Donald Trump, who was endorsed by the National Rifle Association and supports gun rights, won the White House in November, gun shops anticipated sales would taper off. Shares in major gun companies fell, anticipating a slowdown.
Yet that doesn’t seem to be the case: On Black Friday this year, NICB processed a record 185,713 background checks — the most ever on a single day in the 20 years the system has existed.

And some of those gun buyers are what the industry calls “non-traditional.” Namely, minorities, gay people and self-described liberals.

38. I know more liberals who have been packing heat for years than I do conservatives.
 
Most of them are hunters. The notions that all liberals hate guns and hunting are myths. There are a lot more of them out there than anyone realizes. And, the RWNJs are free to continue to believe those myths. They do so at their own peril.

ouch that hurts
 

[I_B_Perky]

Libbies with firearms!!!  Oh no!!!!!   I scared!!!!   

I figure they will shoot themselves, or each other, before they ever get the chance to shoot us. Kinda hard to shoot someone when you hold your pistol sideways.   

[thundley4]

The fact that gun sales increased after Trump's landslide victory has nothing to do with more insane liberals buying guns.  Sales always increase in November right up to Christmas. Conservatives love getting and giving guns for Christmas.

Someone who doesn't own a firearm... Thinks they are a crack shot...

15. True story
 
I'm a lifelong liberal FDR Democrat, age 72. Retired Army infantry officer; veteran of multiple Vietnam tours with the medals and scars to prove it.

I'm also a very friendly, peaceful sort. Am also a hunter and shooter who owns a lot of guns, most of them high-end hunting weapons.

I have several decals and bumper stickers on my gas-guzzling F250 SuperDuty that clearly identify me as a liberal Democrat. I live in a rural area dominated by Republicans and Tea Partiers. At least once a week, one of these assholes accosts me in a parking lot and mocks my bumper stickers. I usually ignore them.

A few days before the election, at the dump site (we don't have garbage collection, we take our trash and recycles to a collection point), a lard-assed rightwinger waddled up to me as I was tossing stuff in the recycle bins. He commented on my Democratic, Hillary, Obama bumper stickers then he told me: "You Democrats should be shot." 

Normally, I'd walk away but this got under my skin. I asked: "Are you going to shoot me, fat boy?" <-- not me

Pissed him off: "I just may get my pistol and do it."   

To which I replied: "Fine. But you need to know that under the seat of my truck is a Smith & Wesson M1911 .45 loaded with magnum load hollow points. And I stand my ground."    

He damn near tripped over himself, running to his car and roaring away. 

I now have a pistol under the seat of my Mini Cooper and my wife's Explorer. 

These sonsabitches are dangerous

and you Dummy are a liar.

Here's a thread the RWNJ's can extract and bend threads to make it sound like we're threatening them.
The RW nutjobs are trying sock puppets here and elsewhere to paint another false equivalency scenario. Now RW media and it's so called "neutral" echo chambers are printing stories about assassination attempts and threats to the Donald.
Just as long as we are making it very, very clear that arming ourselves is purely self defensive and not offensive, we stay in the light of innocence

Stupid lambchop59 (a crappy mole if there ever was one). There is a huge difference between owning a gunz and being able to handle one. But hey it's your right exercise it.

Oh ..... 72 years old and you're going from an F-250 to a Mini Cooper (ghey as fvck)?!?!
 
 

I wonder what Hoyt's gonna buy?   

Yes, i(D)iots.  We get a lot of you highly experienced and nuanced hunters down here.....

Hoyt is checking with his girlfriend onehandle. Together they will select the appropriate hardware.

She should get a .44. She's more likely to be attacked by a brown bear than a white man.

Mole indeed, note it capitalized Donald.

[ADsOutburst]

Hasn't their mantra all along been that armed civilians are hopeless against an oppressive government? 

[Mr Mannn]

I cannot understand how giving guns to mentally unstable DUmmies will protect them.
They will end up arrested pointing guns at their neighbors or committing murder.

On the other hand I cannot see DUmmies giving up money for weed to buy a gun.

[DUmpDiver]

I've been stocking up on ammo since the election because from what I've read at The DUmp Trump will soon make it legal to shoot LGBTXYZs, latinos, muzzies and womenz.

[USA4ME]

Liberals arming up? I believe that's what is called fake news. Ain't happening.

I fart in your face, poseur.
".45 loaded with magnum load hollow points". Okayyyyy   

Big Dog, I'm surprised you didn't rip that idiot a new rectal aperture.

...and we're supposed to believe and be afraid that proggies are "arming up".
I think not.

Concern Troll! Concern Troll! Concern Troll!

"lambchopp59", we're having too much fun laughing at DU-folks' false bravado. Who needs to make @#$%^ up when you all prove the comedy ready-made off-the-rack? The fake bravado and ignorance of DU gun-haters pretending to be arming up in preparation for the horrors they imagine Trump will attempt is hilarious.

She should get a .44. She's more likely to be attacked by a brown bear than any man.

While your version accurately reflects her imagined fears, I think mine is a little closer to reality. OTOH, your suggested weapon would be great. The bear would die laughing.

^^^This. 

Just like I try to avoid going to the gym the first couple of weeks after the New Year, so all of the fat do-nothings can get their resolution out of their system, it's probably a good idea to avoid the ranges for a spell, so that the DUmbasses can shoot themselves.

Good thing DUmmie OldRedneck has a Super Duty truck to haul that load around in!   
Sure ain't gonna fit in the Misses Mini-Cooper!
