I belonged to a prepper forum back in the Obama years. It was a bitch being a liberal in such a conservative group. They all kept talking about how Obama was going to declare martial law, and put everyone in a FEMA camp, and outlaw guns. They just went on and on about it.
Now Trump is openly trying to declare a national emergency (miniature version of martial law), he has children herded into detention camps, and has banned bump stocks.
Yes, but isn't it interesting to see what the other side is thinking? I have been a member of another firearms forum for about 6 years. It is heavily, but not exclusively, populated by folks who are far to the right of center politically. I joined that forum and recently joined this one to benefit from the technical expertise of the members. But I thoroughly enjoy surfing the "free for all" discussion areas. And, as one might suspect, they are nearly mirror images of one another. On this forum, Trump = bad, on the other forum, Obama/Clinton = bad. No matter the issue and with much hyperbole! But, often entertaining.
OTOH, both forums have 1 thing in common, a love of firearms and opposition to Gov't intrusion and restrictions on ownership.
