"Guns and religion" were huge as Barry now knows all too well. The MSM knows it too, they just can't bring themselves to mouth the words.
I think we can all relax!

She should have listened to Bill when he lamented passing the AWB and loosing all that capitol for the party way back then.

Celebrities?
There are maybe five or six I could pick out of a line-up.
Talk about making America Great Again, this would be a great start!

So far so good. The immediate future is looking up. But I still have this little birdie tweeting in my ear with one thing that Trump has said in the past: “EVERYTHING IS NEGOTIABLE!’

I volunteer to take Lena Dunham.
BTW Amy Schumer already came out saying she was only joking when she said she'd leave. That didn't take long.

Actually Time magazine has an article on how evangelicals helped Trump win.
I wonder how much help gun owners on the 'Net and other media helped this across the finish line?
I'm sure it was the perfect storm of a number of groups, but gun owners have been getting the word out over the last year or so.
A recent article by Tom Gresham in The Washington Times:
Trump’s secret, armed, army
Enthusiastic gun owners will vote to retain their safety
BTW - I had to take a celebratory lap to our two local gun shops today.
Yesterday folks were buying (you could tell many were newbies).
Today they were as crowded, but nobody was buying - we were just drinking the store's coffee, eating their donuts, and spending some nice face time with like minded freedom folks!

"Actually Time magazine has an article on how evangelicals helped Trump win."
I guess the big realization this go around is that you don't have to actually be one to win their support (which is why Cruz never caught on with them). I'm not one, but I have to assume they are much like gun owners in that they don't want a candidate in their own image so much as someone who is not actively hostile to their way of life. Simple lesson, but an important one, and hopefully future leaders won't try to pander so hard (and the party won't restrict its support to panderers) and instead simply respect & represent these groups; unlike the Democrats, the Republicans' shaky coalition isn't bound together by ticking off check boxes on a candidate & some hush money. Makes the party much harder to manage for an 'activist' type leader because of all the conflicted motivations.

Give it a day or two. Both with Obama and Newtown, it wasn't instantaneous. Lot of the panic-prone type of folks are still sleeping off the all-night nail-biter and whatever drinking game fueled the carnage. I'm sure many folks are cancelling drunken orders, but a large number are also now willing to enter the market for typical purchases (Black Friday deals, anyone?) without fear or worry it will be gone or being overrun by obnoxious 'neckbeards' shoving their way to the front of the line. What's funny, is that since these goods are durable and really don't take up that much space in the grand scheme of things (compared to automobiles for instance), distributors can hold onto them and slowly let the stockpile dwindle down to more desirable levels, and not lose much 'opportunity cost' in the end. I doubt we'll see Pmags drop to 4$ a mag or something, prices were pretty much historically bottomed as of a month ago, and just barely blipped up before the good election news.

Now is not the time to relax. Now is the time to start working on a new “Veterans’ Heritage Firearms Act”
This legislation would provide amnesty for veterans who served overseas before 1968 in which these veterans would be able to register “take home” firearms that would fall under National Firearms Act classification. The amnesty would also apply to family members of these veterans who have been given or inherited such firearms. Congress granted a limited amnesty in 1968, but most veterans did not receive enough notice to participate.

It is not time to relax. Now is the time to gain ground... let's get importation of surplus moving better, make it illegal for states to curtail 2A rights, require every state to permit open and unlicensed concealed carry, get rid of gun free zones, and repeal the NFA! If the Democrats controlled both houses and the presidency, you can bet they would be making gun ownership all but impossible. We have to make it so that should they ever assume control that they would have so much pro gun stuff to undo before they could even begin imposing their full scale Clintonian and Bloomberguesque ideas.

They did control all 3 from 2009 to 2011. What did they accomplish? Practically nada. Can we wait til Monday to get started? I'd like a few more days of savoring HRC slinking off the stage.

Practically nada? I guess that's a matter of perspective. I personally think they did a fair amount of undermining.
But.... I pretty much agree with everything you've been saying.
Slinking of the stage...lol.... "Lovving It!"
IMO, the Dems put everything they had into her and it failed. The Clinton dynasty is dead. Bernie is burned out. The dems will be back but they have to rebuild from a huge collapse.
The GOP had better not rest either. They have to reinvent themselves a bit too if they want to keep control.
I keep hoping the Weiner emails will ultimately take down Huma and maybe cripple Clinton Foundation or better.
Don't forget folks - Bloomberg and his money are still out there, and he had pretty much abandoned trying to get anything done on the national level as the public didn't agree with his gun control agenda.
He will just continue (or step up?) his efforts on the state level.
Time to get involved - have you joined your state organization fighting for your 2nd Amendment rights?

Here's a SilencerCo interview of Trump, JR.

Trump Jr and Eric are both members of the NRA, so I trust Trump on the 2-A. In terms of "relaxing", I was referring to the impulse to panic buy, clean out the shelves, and create 6 month backorders on anything gun related.
I agree that we and the GOP need to go full steam ahead on pro 2-A initiatives over the next 2 years, so even if the Dem's regain the Senate in two years, it'll all be set in stone.
I'm waiting to see how long it takes to build the wall......heheeee!

Right now is the worse time we have ever had to relax. We came this close to losing it all nationally with the Hildebeast and we are going to relax? Jeez, I am doubling down on my donations to NRA, SAF, CRPA, right now is where we need to make some ground to reclaim all of the rights we have lost. We can NEVER relax, we must always be vigilant because our enemies do the same.

Not for nothing, but what makes vet's illegal machineguns so special? Seriously. If it's all about the historical nature, why shouldn't I be able to reactivate my long-demilled ZB37 tripod mounted belt fed in accordance with historical accuracy of WWII, if some vet's niece is able to lawfully register some beater Shpagin from a mud-hole in Vietnam? It's not a "small deal," each of these amnestied items magically transforms into five to tens of thousands of dollars with a wave of the ATF's wand, so I don't appreciate only a select few of my supposedly equal fellow citizens being heaped with such riches by virtue of their dad being a governement employee fifty years ago. Maybe if I was offered a 1919, or the Hellcat it was attached to that was used by my grandpappy.
If you look at the mechanisms of the GCA, it was always intended for there to be periodic (generational) amnesties, if for no other reason than to get the government's books cleaned up & in order. There's a reason the MG registry has never been audited or made public, and it's because it's full of plot holes & spelling errors (and only recently graduated from punch cards if I'm not mistaken)

More than a few of us with advanced degrees more than a little tired of scions with BA's in French Rococo Poetry from a pass/fail eastern LibArts school who daddy foisted into a gub'mint sinecure that allows them to dictate to the rest of us.
