Well, the one thing they aren't allowed to say/do is claim that they can be used to treat a disease/illness. Which is why John specifically called out those hidden cam videos because those representatives were definitely over the line by saying stuff like how it would get rid of brain tumors or fix congestive heart failure.

Actually, it's common knowledge in the more intellectually-oriented firearms circles that the manufacturers LOVE the idea of democrat presidents; sales go through the roof, for no good reason. Especially if the House stays republican; just because the president says 'we should have stricter gun control' doesn't mean much.

I love the mentality behind that. "They're gunna take my guns! I better get em all now!" If the government was actually planning to take your guns, it really isn't going to matter whether or not you bought them before they made that decision. (and yes I know sometimes grandfathering is a thing but that's still something they can choose not to do - they could do a mandatory buyback instead to compensate gun owners for now-illegal firearms. They don't HAVE to let you keep them just because it was legal at the time)

It's a bit dumber than that. I know people who bought AR15s before last election not because they wanted one or thought they were gonna get banned but because they thought the price was gonna go up and they might want to buy one in the future and it might get too expensive. Or course gun/ammo prices did go up mainly because of idiots panic buying.

I liked the Adam Ruins Everything Election Special, where he points out that the main difference between now and the good-old-days is that the parties have polarized to an amazing degree. Otherwise, Trump will have some work to do to out-do good old El Beejay. Sorry, LBJ.

CrashCat posted:Can you actually spell out what that threat means? It's not the first time I've heard it by a long shot but I haven't seen a single person explain it in more than the vaguest of terms. Well,  when Alberta went NDP last year in a shocking upset, mainly due to the PC and Wild Rose Party splitting the conservative vote, i.e. the equivalent of Utah going Green Party in American terms I think, businesses all pulled out fearing the repercussions, which of course, caused the economy to take a huge hit, which could then be pointed at as proof that the correct decision had been made. Rather amusingly, this is the prime example I use to conservatives who complain about the very idea of electoral reform.Might be something like that. Or maybe his friends and family all work in a company that specializes in janitorial services for Mosques.

It's complicated, but basically I know a lot of people who are fearing for their safety right now, especially since we have poo poo like the actual loving KKK having victory gatherings and poo poo. But I mean, honestly, what's to be said at this point? All the hateful poo poo said about minority groups and LGBT communities, vehement climate change denial, the everpresent misogyny... It just goes on and on and on. After the Brexit, violent crime against minority groups spiked to an absurd degree, and I'm hoping and praying with all my heart that we don't end up with a similar situation here, but I know better. I'm just seeing so much poo poo right now, and each little bit breaks my heart.

Fearing for your safety any more today than yesterday is dumb, though it's an understandable reaction. Someone WILL be the victim of a violent crime today which they blame on Trump, and we will all pretend to be surprised and shocked by it, but people were also murdered yesterday and nobody cared.

CrashCat posted:Pretty much this. Yeah there will be a few people who think that because Trump got elected they can commit a crime for free but there are also people who thought that because Obama got elected they could commit a crime for free. There's never going to be a lack of dumb assholes who will use an excuse to be violent. Obama didn't encourage violence at his rallies. Also there wasn't a large violent subculture as well as the KKK supporting him, pretending they are somehow equal is just silly.

I'm trying my damnedest to not go into a full blown rage at this, but I've had friends hurt today by Trump celebrators and if you're so naive as to think this is limited to violent crime I have no idea what to say to you. There is going to be so much fallout from this, and I would not be surprised one bit if we end up effectively rolling back the last decade of human rights or more. When you have David loving Duke coming out and saying that his people won it for Trump, yes, it is perfectly reasonable to be worried.
