Survival Expert James Rawles Warns: Theres Going To Be A Massive Run On Firearms Bigger Than Anything Weve Ever Seen Before If Hillary Win Is Imminent
...
Further, Rawles notes that as we get closer to the possibility of a Hillary Clinton Presidency, we may soon see panic buying of firearms, ammunition and gun-related accessories.
One post opines:
I agree with you, I think Trump is far more intelligent and controlled than our Status Quo can believe, and will win in a landslide. So big, they can't steal the election because exit polls will reveal it.
And, if I were even slightly Machiavellian, a very good way of making that happen is standing in long lines at Gun Stores holding signs, "Preparing for Hillary". I bet that people would be clever about their signs, news cameras couldn't resist, Youtube videos, all avoiding MSM.
...
Gun clubs could stage those, our counter to the Sandy Hoaxen the Feds run all the time.

People swore that Obama would take away their guns, but firearm sales increased during his presidency. The same will happen no matter who wins.

Meanwhile......nothing will change regulation-wise.
MAYBE the halfwits will catch on this time......but probably not.
The gun industry will cycle them through a couple of more times, at least.
Perhaps their kids will decide they have enough guns.
Hard to say.
