I hate that I'm typing this...

People need to start buying weapons right now. It's not that I think we're at the "take up arms" phase. It's that I think we should be ready before they keep us from being able to.

With all the shit they're pulling with federal databases, I expect people are going to start being added to NICS (background check database) for political reasons.

When you get a NICS denial, there's no explanation of why it's was denied, but you can't buy a gun.

And it will alert the FBI that you tried.

As a Libertarian who voted Democrat in the last several elections, I agree. tRump is not as pro 2A as he claims, he's fine with "his" people being armed, but I could totally see him trying to block others from gun purchases, especially if he sees them as "enemies" to his cause.
