Colin Waugh bought a shotgun four weeks before November’s election. An unapologetic liberal, he was no fan of firearms. He had never owned one before. But Waugh, a 31-year-old from Independence, Missouri, couldn’t shake his fears of a Donald Trump presidency — and all of the chaos it could bring. He imagined hate crimes and violence waged by extremists emboldened by the Republican nominee’s brash, divisive rhetoric. He pictured state-sanctioned roundups of Muslims, gays, and outspoken critics.

"He pictured state-sanctioned roundups of Muslims, gays, and outspoken critics."
What paranoid twaddle. Good grief. Trump was not my 1st choice for republican candidate (most other of the 16 contenders would have been ... well, "okayer") but to try to infer he's the 2nd coming of Hitler or Pol Pot is beyond absurdity.
However ....I welcome Colin to the gun owning community. Just watch where you point that muzzler there, Colin. OK just leave the weapon in another room .....

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
