Well folks, as I predicted, Donald Trump is proving to be the perfect candidate for Hillary and the Clinton machine to go up against. A combo of carefully timed recordings released by the media and Trump's own self-implosion has made it obvious to me that Queen Hillary will be coronated in January. She could not have picked a weaker candidate to face than Trump. Who knows, maybe she did pick him. The most hated candidate found the one person more hated than she is and that leaves us all in a shit pile.
So, come January, or more like mid November, expect anything having to do with guns and shooting to go crazy. The fear of a Clinton Presidency and what that might entail for us gun people will take on a whole new level when she takes the oath of office.
Presidents can only do so much without usurping the constitution. But, a President with a willing congress can do just about anything. And, she will be nominating a Justice to the Supreme Court. Ugh.
I do hope that the better angels of our nature will prevail. I do hope that the hoarding, price gouging, and shortages that result from fear will not materialize. But, I know human nature. Your average guy, trying to make ends meet, is going to try to get $100 for a 525 pack of 22 long rifle if he can. I resisted that urge during the last big shortage, but some people won't. Some of these folks are just assholes and some are trying to turn a buck to feed their kids. Either way, it's a self-feeding fire.
I believe nothing short of an agreement between all the major manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can stem the coming storm. Strict limits must be enacted and enforced when the hoarding starts. Obviously, high volume shooters will have to work through their organizations to acquire enough powder, bullets, etc to compete. We must ensure that people are able to enjoy our sport.
Will that happen? Who knows.
