Anybody ever entered a random draw and just kinda felt like they were going to win? I go to gun shows and usually just look, as I'm generally fairly satisfied with my coverage of firearms to defend me and my family from right wing psychos and the coming shit show. But there was a raffle for a .50 barrett. And I bought a few tickets. And for some reason, I feel like it's already mine. Like I feel like I'm going to win it. I've only gotten this feeling once before, and I did wind up winning the $1000. Anybody else have that happen? I hate going to these things and trying to play nice with these people, but if they're armed, I need to be as well. I dunno, I just feel like it's already mine and just need to wait for confirmation.

Literal fascist in power and we still have people on the left saying "ban guns"...the amount of nativity it takes to get to that level boggles my mind.

To build on this: establishment Democrats don't really care about minorities beyond lip-service. If they really gave a shit about vulnerable groups then they wouldn't fight said groups' ability to defend themselves.

And before anyone opens their mouths, no I'm not supporting conservatives here. You're best off supporting the progressive arm of the Democrats overall, though they also put way too much emphasis on gun control

Dems could sweep elections if they would drop gun control. It's a complete waste of political capital continuing it. They lose so many single issue voters because of it.
