2024 Election Megathread

ratmanmedia@reddit

It’s been great watching all the state subs having fucking meltdowns.

Honestly goes to show that a majority of the Harris supporters online are either plants or fake accounts.

[-]

CarsGunsBeer@reddit

Pumped by fascist anti free speech mods.

[-]

That may be part, but i also think that most of it is due to people who spend more time online tend to overlap with left leaning opinions, and people who spend less time online tends to overlap with right leaning opinions. Add the echo chamber and snowball effect of subreddits and boom, big or non-topical subreddits go left.

[-]

Beebjank@reddit

You’d think my state of WV is bluer than California just basing it off the subreddit.

[-]

ratmanmedia@reddit

Same with Indiana. At least 50% of these accounts HAVE to be bots or karma whores

[-]

Karukaya@reddit

It’s just the Reddit effect. This place has been blatantly biased blue for at least like 12 years.

[-]

shiftypowers96@reddit

Ugly sobbing because a 6% gun and ammo tax is passing in my state

[-]

ResidentInner8293@reddit

We passed a 11% one so don't feel too special just yet

[-]

shiftypowers96@reddit

Ouch, tax is a tax but that hurts, my state just thinks the fix for everything is by taxing more and throwing money into a fire

[-]

ResidentInner8293@reddit

The people are sheep wanting to be lead. They don't get that taxes are often misused and allow politicians to tell them taxes solve everything. Wish they understood that often those taxes just go to line politicians and contractors pockets and do nothing to solve the problem. Some problems can't be solved with money.

[-]

shiftypowers96@reddit

My state legalized recreational MJ and the tax was supposed to go to schools and that’s been since 2014, schools are worse off than ever here

[-]

ResidentInner8293@reddit

See, that's what I'm talking about.

[-]

MadMarmoset@reddit

Can't these be challenged as a "poll tax" type of infringement?

[-]

shiftypowers96@reddit

Well since the left sees gun owners as white republicans and not a diverse group that this will affect lower working class of men and women to protect themselves, I’m gonna go with no.

[-]

Milksmither@reddit

Sure, by rich people with a lot of money to blow.

[-]

Milksmither@reddit

All of you expecting Trump to be pro-gun are deluded and naive.

He was anti-gun before that kid tried to kill him with one. Good luck, everyone.

[-]

Beebjank@reddit

BUT BUT THE BUMP STOCK BAAANNNN

nevermind his rival calling for mandatory gun confiscation because clearly that’s not nearly as bad

[-]

OrganizationFunny153@reddit

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_dilemma

Harris being anti-gun doesn't mean Trump is pro-gun.

[-]

Beebjank@reddit

I'm not saying he is. However it's asinine to think Trump is anywhere as bad as Harris on this stance.

[-]

OrganizationFunny153@reddit

We'll see. I think the former NYC democrat is absolutely as anti-gun, he's just been told not to admit it in public by his advisors.

[-]

Beebjank@reddit

It would be career suicide and against what his platform stands for, for him to push significant gun control. I understand he banned bump stocks and I don't agree with that ruling, but if that's as bad as it gets, we got off pretty damn good. Democrats, however, *actively* encourage gun control, though. So I believe the choice is easy in who I think is better in that regard.

[-]

OrganizationFunny153@reddit

It would be career suicide

The same has been said about virtually everything he has done and yet he survives. I would have thought his blatant disrespect and mockery towards US soldiers who have died for their nation would be the end of his political career but a whole lot of veterans figured out some twisted rationalization for why it's ok to support him. If Trump decided to push a new AWB, magazine limits, etc, his cult would immediately buy made-in-China "real men only need five rounds" shirts.

[-]

Adorable_List3836@reddit

You’re still getting paid to post even after the election? That’s a pretty sweet gig.

[-]

OrganizationFunny153@reddit

At least he's getting paid while you're sucking Trump's dick for free.

Trump may turn out to be less anti-gun than Harris but I have a bridge to sell you if you think he cares about your second amendment rights. He's a NYC democrat who only flipped republican to have a better chance of winning and he'd gladly take all your guns if he could find a way to profit from it.

[-]

AspiringArchmage@reddit

Congrats you won't be a temporary gun owner anymore

[-]

Equivalent-Issue5056@reddit

Colorado looks like it’s gonna pass proposition KK. 6.5% tax on ammo and guns. I hate this state. Someday I’m going to Alaska or Montana.

[-]

TaurusPTPew@reddit

No time like the present!

[-]

Agitated-Finish-5052@reddit

Need Trump to end the Ukraine war soon so we can get some Russian 7.62x39 ammo cheap again.

[-]

fluknick@reddit

And Vepr !!!

[-]

fluknick@reddit

Geeze, at least two (D)Bots dislike Vepr.

[-]

Token_Black_Rifle@reddit

He could have given us Russian imports back in 2016. Why do you think he will care now?

[-]

LiberalLamps@reddit

If we get a Trump Slump 2.0 my wallet is going to be unburdened by what has been when we have killer sales on guns and ammo.

[-]

Agitated-Finish-5052@reddit

Yeah I really hope Trump full through on the no tax on Over Time so I can finally buy a NFA item.

[-]

Waflstmpr@reddit

Itll never happen.

[-]

fatitalianstallion@reddit

It’s far too ripe for abuse, especially for business owners.

[-]

Waflstmpr@reddit

Also, itd be really nice for the average worker, and that certainly cant be allowed. The average American worker can only be allowed to survive. Thriving would be too aspirational, and we might get ideas of lofty ideas, like, early retirement or enjoying life.

Instead we will be crushed under the boot of cold authoritarianism. Like the Russians, we will continue to be conditioned to allow oligarchy, and to embrace it. The stock market jumping upwards at Donnys victory is no mistake. Its exactly what our Owners wanted. Someone dumb, and easily bribed.

[-]

sirbassist83@reddit

ive thought this for most of my life.

[-]

Man_is_Hot@reddit

He’s a liar, that won’t happen

[-]

pinesolthrowaway@reddit

And rescind the 7n1 ban, that too

Hell, just end the Russian and Chinese import bans period. Import the shit out of Norincos and SVT-40s

[-]

RageEataPnut@reddit

I'd love that. All the dopes who paid $thousands$ for a $500 russian AK would sob for days lol.

[-]

Agitated-Finish-5052@reddit

Agreed, Make AKs Cheap Against

Also the prices of Mosins have gotten out of hand as well.

[-]

Live_Relationship563@reddit

The price of mosins rn is hilarious. I walked into one of my local gun stores and sold mine to the guy behind the counter for $500. I bought that thing for $150 ~5 years ago

[-]

Agitated-Finish-5052@reddit

Yeah I seen people selling beat up ones for $700 recently. Pretty wild to me

[-]

pinesolthrowaway@reddit

It really depends on what they are

Base model 91/30s are in the 300-400 range, but if it’s any kind of rare variant pushing up to, and in a good number of cases, past $1,000 isn’t at all unheard of

The demand is still quite high, but the supply just isn’t there like it was 10+ years ago

[-]

Live_Relationship563@reddit

Base model 91/30. I believe the tang dated it back to the 20s? Made by Tula. Not rare iirc

[-]

pinesolthrowaway@reddit

If it was a Tula ex-dragoon, which that’s what it sounds like, that’d be more on the $400 end than the $300 end

$500 is too high for that though, you got a good deal on that sale

[-]

Live_Relationship563@reddit

I mean it was a round receiver so I’m not sure? But yeah either way the man gave me too much

[-]

Agitated-Finish-5052@reddit

Agreed, but also depends on location as well for prices and such but I had the chance 10 years ago to buy a whole crate for $600 and I should of did it but lived with my parents then and didn’t have a place to put it

[-]

fatitalianstallion@reddit

“Here’s the deal Vlad. Do the pull out from Ukraine, keep the crimea, no one really likes that place, and we’ll let our people buy your guns again. Sounds good? I know it does. Take the win Vlad, don’t be a loser like Kamala.”

[-]

OrganizationFunny153@reddit

Reagan rolling in his grave right now as so-called "conservatives" argue for giving Russia whatever they want. If only the Soviets had figured out they could win the cold war by promising to sell us cheap ammo...

[-]

KderNacht@reddit

Why do you care about what "we can't let blacks arm themselves" Reagan would think ?

[-]

OrganizationFunny153@reddit

I'm not a conservative. I just think it's funny how modern so-called conservatives are so eager to pander to Russia when one of the few things Reagan got right was having the moral integrity to stand up to their evil.

[-]

sanesociopath@reddit

If only the Soviets had figured out they could win the cold war by promising to sell us cheap ammo...

We sind their crazy amounts of pepsi... all they had to do was sell us some ak's and ammo

[-]

vladmer_sukmeov@reddit

Casey hardison should have been president

[-]

Still-Bison@reddit

Ugly sobbing because my state just elected our anti-gun AG as governor.

[-]

SnakeEyes_76@reddit

Washington?

[-]

Still-Bison@reddit

Yeah, where democrats have had a stronghold for the last 40 years.

[-]

SnakeEyes_76@reddit

We’re in deep brother.

[-]

accountingforlove83@reddit

Indeed we are.

[-]

SnakeEyes_76@reddit

I forsee….background checks for ammo. Ammo limits. NFA bans. Permit to purchase. Handgun roster like California. It’s only gonna get worse

[-]

Underwater_Karma@reddit

The was never any question. If Reichert pulled ahead, boxes of "lost and found" ballots were ready to go.

[-]

Soulshot96@reddit

I hate to say it...but it might be time to make like GarandThumb and move on to safer pastures lol.

[-]

Token_Black_Rifle@reddit

Will we ever get our Russian imports back? I remember back in 2016 people were saying Trump would help us out. Still waiting...

[-]

therealsteve3@reddit

Doubt it and I prefer it stays that way so preban Russian and Chinese imports remain high in value

[-]

loki993@reddit

Doubtful ever and basically an absolute zero chance as long as Russia is engaging in open war against the Ukraine.

[-]

Concerned_viking@reddit

Fuck russia

[-]

Underwater_Karma@reddit

Guaranteed: liberals suddenly demanding sweeping overhauls of our government, to more clearly fit their agenda after the election rejected it

Likely: simultaneous conservative control of executive, legislative, and judicial branches results in a shocking lack of advances of conservative goals

[-]

Beebjank@reddit

Remember when they called for the removal of the electoral college after 2016? Yeah..

[-]

Underwater_Karma@reddit

Remember when they wanted Biden to pack the Supreme Court after Ruth Bader Ginsberg fucked over the liberal agenda for generations to come?

[-]

seanie_rocks@reddit

That's how it always happens. We didn't get national reciprocity or the HPA during Trump's first term, even though Congress was red. Seems like politicians and special interest groups figured out you can make more money fundraising on fear than you can on wins.

[-]

OrganizationFunny153@reddit

It's almost like republicans don't care about your second amendment rights. Oh right, it's exactly that.

[-]

sureyeahno@reddit

Hopefully the gun community voted to not be temporary gun owners, since statistically speaking… Gun owners aren’t into voting..

[-]

CleveEastWriters@reddit

I can tell you that I did. I'm not into the idea of selling thing "back" at a discount.

[-]

sureyeahno@reddit

And I’m glad you did. Before 2020, I myself never voted or owned firearms.

[-]

JamesRawles@reddit

Oh man, the Trump slump 2.0 is going to kill so many gun companies

[-]

RedditWhileIWerk@reddit

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. You're probably right.

[-]

Shatter-Point@reddit

There is another market: Canada. Next year, we Canadians will have OUR Federal election and it is looking more and more likely Official Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre will win. Unlike Trudeau, Poilievre has promised to repeal all of Trudeau's gun restrictions. While we don't have the population of the US, this is a market gun companies can exploit. Our shelves are bare and there needs to be a Berlin Airlift level of import to Canada to restock our shelves.

[-]

robertva1@reddit

Yep no need to run out to buy a soon to be baned gun.

[-]

JamesRawles@reddit

Bingo

blackbeardpirate25@reddit

Looks like PA is going to the democrats for house and senate dam.

moving0target@reddit

Whatever causes the most deadlock. Neither candidate is going to push us in a desirable direction. Going nowhere is a best case scenario.

Trump wins : I get up, have a coffee, get on with life.

Kamala wins : I get up, have a coffee, get on with life.

The sun will still rise in the east and set in the west.

[-]

alan_w3@reddit

Exactly the way I see it. All the doom and gloom preaching just doesn't get me. Worlds gonna go to shit one way or another, I'm just along for the ride

[-]

Shatter-Point@reddit

Congrat Americans. Now the real work begins for you guys and hold your elected official to account and push further 2A protection. I will be sorely disappointed if you don't pass Hearing Protection Act and Conceal Carry Reciprocity by the end of 2026.

[-]

Surprise_Cucumber@reddit

The GOP don't really care about 2a when they're in power, because they're already in power, they don't need to pander anymore.

[-]

Euhn@reddit

Woah buddy, don't get complacent yet!!!

[-]

Shatter-Point@reddit

Oh right. If there aren't any 3 am ballot drop, you guys also need to fix your electoral system.

[-]

FatherVic@reddit

Some states haven’t figured out hoped to count for Kamala yet. They’re working on it though.

[-]

masterbanana12@reddit

Good shit ya'll.

Honestly thought Trump wouldn't win the popular vote, but damn im impressed.

[-]

ciceright@reddit

If the NFA isn't repealed Trump is a failure.

[-]

OrganizationFunny153@reddit

Yep. No more excuses after this. Republicans have all three branches of government now, if we don't see major expansion of 2A rights I don't want to hear one more word about how republicans are "pro gun".

[-]

Bsmn@reddit

Honestly, I wasn't sure who was going to win. But then the history buff in me saw the patterns and these two links confirmed it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968

Things just have a tendency to cycle...

Had multiple Bookers. They're all great and all dangerous. High proof and smooth

[-]

kcexactly@reddit

I was buzzed the rest of the night. It was so good. I just looked it up and found out it was 124 proof. I had no clue. No wonder it hit me so hard. It takes like it was maybe 110.

doesn’t really mean anything. trump won the states everyone knew he would win. all about the swing states

[-]

what-name-is-it@reddit

Florida with a sizeable gap is a good sign for Trump though.

[-]

NOIRQUANTUM@reddit

Curious, why was Florida declared so early but it's taking a really long time to count Georgia and NC?

[-]

what-name-is-it@reddit

I’ve always wondered that too. I think it’s some algorithm they’ve put together from past trends, polls, etc. still always weird to me when states that are semi close are declared so early.

[-]

moving0target@reddit

Their methodology is pretty rough. They could achieve similar accuracy by flipping a coin.

[-]

JohnnyBGooode@reddit

I hate the mainstream media but that's not true. Show me when they declared a state and we're wrong. And I mean that. If they have then I take it back.

They generally seem to make sure they get this night right at least.

[-]

HercCheif@reddit

I think that's what it is. They look at the counties and which ones are strongholds or not. And the swing counties they can look at population from there. If the county has 100 people and 70 votes have been tallied and 51 are for candidate X, there is no way that candidate Y can beat them. County gets called for X and it just waterfalls from their

But that's a guess. And I'm a mechanic, not mathematician so keep that in mind.
