Popular Post bendejo Posted 2 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 2 hours ago 37 minutes ago, pattayasan said: There won't be riots. They remember Jan 6 and don't want to go to jail for Trump. Yes indeed. If the exiting president had pardoned the 1/6 demonstrators it would be a very different. If there is one thing that straightens out an idealist's perspective (most of the time ) it is sitting in a jail cell. His calling out for demonstrators during his NYC trials didn't go well, maybe a dozen or so turned up but left their mojo at home. Nearly every thing he comes up with involves him being victimized, cheated, etc. I'm sure there must be some good ol' boys (and gals) out there thinking "man, what is he complaining about now?" Sound wimpy, no? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly, to my mind, a very narrow win by the Dems will result in the worst situation re: violence..... Trump will rage about fraud, the election being stolen etc......and having such staggeringly gullible followers, they will believe every word (sorry, lie). Could be very interesting, if interesting is an appropriate word. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gecko123 Posted 2 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 2 hours ago 52 minutes ago, MalcolmB said: What is it about modern America that they can not just accept the result of an election? I question whether this is a historically accurate observation. Widespread unwillingness to accept election results is a relatively recent phenomena, and political assassinations, almost always committed by lone wolves, should not be generally attributed to the American people or culture. Regarding predictions of violence following tomorrow's election, I am sure you are not alone in feeling apprehensive. From the right, I think attacks on election infrastructure, mass shootings or a car bombing or two are most likely. From the left, there may be, as you predict, pockets of rioting in democratic strongholds. Longer term, the risk of political assassination is very elevated no matter who wins the election. If Trump wins, I predict you may see capital flight out of the US and surging interest rates, as foreign countries become more reluctant to hold US debt because (1) the US reputation as a beacon of democracy and a safe harbor for capital will be diminished; (2) fear of trade wars, (3) attempts by foreign countries to thwart tariffs by driving up borrowing costs for US debt with the goal of making tariffs politically unpalatable to American consumers, and (4) a collapse in confidence that the US government has the political will to manage its fiscal deficit and national debt. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not accepting coming second. Trump is the world wide poster boy for frail egos. A dummy spitter. On the other side we have over sensitive democrats. They are all stark raving mad. Like putting a ADHD kid in with an autistic kid in the same room with one toy. It ain’t going to be peaceful.

Yagoda Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 13 minutes ago, MalcolmB said: Grab the popcorn. with all the guns over there this could end up being a significant population cull. Yeah, the question would be what is best. The Antifa types usually make cartoon shields with garbage cans. Although an SS109 would easily penetrate such childish armor, it will probably deflect and be less effective. 55 grainers might blow up. So while an M4 or a Tavor or AUG would be good because of its light weight (Pro Tip: make sure your gas key is properly staked and use a weapon with a 1/9 twist to better stabilize the bullets), I would recommend a 7.62x51 like a Congo style FAL or an M1A equipped with an Eotech or other modern, 0 magnification optic. For those of you on a budget or in a fascist leaning jurisdiction, a nice lever action in any pistol cartridge would be OK. To reduce the risk of overpenetration, I would see if Hornady makes a TAP round in your chosen cartridge. Remember, in order to be legal, you are going to have to absorb some punishment. Make sure to check your local laws. For example, in NY, you can use deadly physical force to stop an arson or an attempted arson. Google your local laws as to when you can use deadly physical force. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
