This seems more on the "political" side than the "preparation and survival" thread side...

Liberal Preppers Stock Up On Guns, Food As Trumpocalypse Looms

With Trump on the horizon, the survivalist movement — long a pastime of the right — is picking up progressive converts fast

http://www.vocativ.com/390175/liberal-preppers-stock-up-on-guns-food/

Excerpt:

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.

“I kept asking myself, ‘Do I want to live under tyranny?'” said Waugh, who supported Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary and later backed Hillary Clinton. “The answer was absolutely not.”

A lib prepper will be surprised to learn about the liberal law tagging his ass like a monk seal if trying to buy ANY gun in this state.

Anecdote I heard from someone who owns a gun store: When the lava flow was threatening to cut off all of lower Puna from anywhere but a roundabout two hour drive through the national park, plenty of would-be first time gun owners came into the store to attempt to purchase firearms for self-defense given that the cops would likely be at least two hours away. When they heard about the "permits to acquire" and the waiting periods, etc. apparently many of them (mostly the uber progressive types) were shocked (of course this was before RapBack). They couldn't believe they had to do all that, pay that money, and then wait all that time for a handgun just to protect themselves (homes of residents who sought temporary shelter elsewhere were already being burglarized). Most left the store without starting the process, having given up on the idea if it required that much time (over an hour drive to Hilo each way for each of the (at least) three trips to acquire a handgun). Friggin' idiots.

Classic projection, after Obozo's selection emboldened thousands of inner city negros to riot and act out knowing the bastard had their back.

They were led to believe (like sheep) that it is as easy to just pick up a gun as buying a head of lettuce at the corner store.

ACTIVISM ALERT!!!

We need to R.F.N. get a law passed to make sure guns don't end up in the hands of mentally incompetent people, such as those who registered with the Democrat party, or otherwise voted for either Clinton or Stein!!!!

These are the same people that wanted to abolish the 2nd Amendment. And now they want to get a gun? Isn't that a sign of serious brain damage?!

Since many are on prescribed "happy pills" (if not before Nov 8th, they are now!), have a therapist and sought counseling to deal with life, and potentially have social media posts that indicate the nonsensical ravings of a lunatic mind, it's likely our strict background checks will prevent crazy people from buying guns.

That's their story, and I'm sticking to it!   >:D

I have no doubt that somewhere a libnut searched Amazon and ebay for guns to buy.    Well maybe Amazon only sells and ships to Chicago zipcode.

Yeah, because of the (in)famous "internet and gunshow loopholes" that are repeated incessantly by the Bloomberg Demanding Moms clones. Friggin' idiots!

And I still remember how surprised "my" state senator was when I informed him that, no, no one can walk into a gun store and buy a machine gun! Friggin' idiot!

"unable to acquire"
Furthermore if threatening the POTUS, they could be investigated by the Secret Service.
Radical Liberals should be enrolled in RAP BACK
Isn't that lady from Maui traveling to the inauguration to protest?
She and her ilk could be arrested for threatening the POTUS. Then RAPBACK could notify the local PD that they are a potential threat to national security.

How would organizing a non violent protest be threatening the POTUS? I hope you are just kidding.

Far left nut jobs are probably some of the most prone to violence types of individuals.  They are however usually anti-gun.  Now let's think about this one....should these anti-gun types really want to be picking fights with people who own weapons and know how to use them?

I remember watching that Doomsday Preppers show, and one of the obviously liberal preppers was totally against having guns as part of her preps.

When asked what she would do if gangs came to raid their supplies, she said she was willing to "take a bullet" to protect her fellow preppers and supplies.

That is the kind of illogic possessed by these people.

(No word on what her brilliant plan might be to protect her fellow preppers once said bullet hits her in the head.)

Here's your non violent protest: http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/34305220/smashed-windows-chaotic-confrontation-near-inauguration

quote:
By JESSICA GRESKO
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Police deployed pepper spray in a chaotic confrontation blocks from Donald Trump's inauguration Friday as protesters registered their rage against the new president.
Spirited demonstrations unfolded peacefully at various security checkpoints near the Capitol as police helped ticket-holders get through to the inaugural ceremony. Signs read, "Resist Trump Climate Justice Now," ''Let Freedom Ring," ''Free Palestine."
But at one point, police gave chase to a group of about 100 protesters who smashed the windows of downtown businesses as they denounced capitalism and Trump. Police in riot gear used pepper spray from large canisters and eventually cordoned off the protesters.
The demonstrators shouted, "Hands up, don't shoot," echoing a slogan adopted at protests after police shot Michael Brown to death in 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri.
