2. "Coming for their guns" is the best pro-gun marketing tool ever invented.

No one has the courage to institute meaningful gun control. It can only happen after the SC rules on the meaning of the term "Militia."
Until then, we can stay at home or buy bulletproof vests to wear with our masks. States are knocking down, what little sensible gun laws that were on the books, and they are doing it every day.

Right wingers are convinced that they need guns to take the government and the country back from non-Christians, people of color and liberals. That is why they have closets full of guns and thousands or rounds of ammo. All that they need to begin a purge is a Reichstag fire and charismatic leader who will call them to arms to save the country. Perhaps that was what Trump had in mind. The right wingers will come for you and your family with a bible in their pocket a flag in one hand and an AR in the other. I know these people, I spent a career in construction; I have lived in earshot of them long enough to know how they think.

Contrary to what the "Good Book" says, the meek shall not inherit the earth.
