I Learned My Rights -- Fox News article about first time gun owners...

Not a bad article. Goes a bit into market trends. It's also good to see that there's also been a spike in people taking training classes.

Politically-wise, I am especially happy to see the more city dwellers getting firearms and training.  If we can keep the momentum it'll make it harder for the city governments to ram rules past indifferent citizens.  Everyone is more politically active when it's THEIR ox being gored.

My favorite comment:

Buy two.  An Automatic and a regular gun.  A person in SC was targeted by members of a gang because he saw them do something outside his shop.  They went to his house and when his auto jammed they killed him and his wife.

 :rofl:

The last gun store I visited, they were clean out of the calibers I need. A bummer, but it's awesome that people are buying all this stuff. What a country!

Dang glad I started a focused effort to slowly get my collection in shape, 15-ish years ago.

You late starters are part of the problem.

After I moved to Idaho and started buying all the stuff I couldn't own in CA, you guys were making fun of me for being like a kid in a candy store. Right now I'm wishing I continued my buying spree a little longer since now I'm waiting for a few things I want to be available again.

I went ammo crazy too, and now wish I'd gone a little crazier. I've got more than enough for SHTF, but given how this is all extending out, I might actually have to conserve some of my "fun at the range" ammo.

Shouldn't you be more worried about making sure you're finally off CALDOT's radar?  :rofl:

I borrowed my neighbor's backhoe. CA DMV won't be a problem anymore.  =D

I'm not sure who you think you buried, but that's a zombie that will just keep rising...

Depends on the pre-burial preparations I think.   =D

I sold several items in June.  I was able to buy a few items I wanted.  I need to sell a few more items in August while the market is still up.

This is my plan between now and the election.

Well, all I can say at this point is that I'm glad I don't shoot any more.

If I could just stop caring about gun rights, I'd be golden.   ;/
