Just read in my local (red state, small town) rag that AR15 sales are brisk at the local gunpeddlers

Glad I pulled my kids out of their schools.

Note to self: avoid going to public places as much as possible.

Can't believe how tone deaf, defiant, truculent and downright mean these people are in the wake of dozens of mass shootings and needless gun deaths.

No wonder they don't believe in evolution. They never evolved.

the "kids" will get an adult to buy them as surrogates. (Yeah, I know it's a federal crime to buy firearms and give them to someone else, but they won't care.)

That and there's still gun shows . . . . and private purchase.

...who wouldn't have without all the talk of raising the age to purchase to 21.

And if Trump is brought to justice for his treasonous and criminal behavior, I shudder to think what these "camouflage patriots" will do with all that firepower at their disposal.
