Man you gun guys love bragging over and over about all your guns and all the rounds you have. Strange.

If you shoot a lot.... and many people do.... It is MUCH more economical to buy ammo in bulk...I shoot a LOT of 5.56, .40 S&W, .22, 9mm, etc...... I typically buy ammo in bulk..... Not a big deal to have  a few thousand rounds of 5.56

Billy also ignored the fact that I stated Savage had a 50% rebate on up to 10 boxes of ammo. I bought 10 boxes of ammo.

Something sick about the title of this thread. Wonder if it is your 14 yr old daughter that got shot at the school if you also go out and buy more firearms in her honor. Maybe leave some by her burial site. Give some freebies around the neighborhood. I am sure the parents of these kids are all proud that you honored their dead children

They stand against children victims, and glorify gun crazed killers. Not surprising, and accurately fitting of their character.

The blood of those children is on your hands.... because you ignore facts.

By 2020, all eligible Millenials will be able to vote. All 90 million of them.

Yep and the younger generation aren't going to identify guns with hunting with grandpa.  Gun owners might want to drive sensible regulation today, because if they don't the next generation of voters will drive regulation for them.  And I'm guessing it will be a lot less sensible.

90M!  We will finally get an amendment to the Constitution banning clear backpacks!

I think the lunatic fringe over rates their participation numbers in a given population. Even with the full on indoctrination they have put these kids through.
   I bet quite a few are smart enough to see past their brainwashing.
   One test will be if no one volunteers for the service in that generation. I mean, besides the ones that want a free sex change.

Sre you saying you go to the range once a week, once a month, or once a year?

I have a Glock 23 that I bought in 1992 that is on its fith or sixth barrel, I do not know how many springs, trigger jobs, etc. Only thing original is the slide and frame.

My ARs and other long guns I shoot a couple times a month. and when we shoot ARs there are usually 12 -15 of us including wive's kids. guests, friends. etc..... Probably about 8 ARs between us... I have run over a thousand rounds through my three ARs in a single afternoon.

Proves my point.

They march by the millions, but somehow the lunatic fringe does not think they will bother to vote this go round.

90 million energized is a statistical nightmare, but go ahead and keep deluding yourselves. The hearings in the Democratic majority House with subpoena power will begin in just nine months, and it's going to be a hoot.

So some nut job can become president despite 3-4 million people voting other wise. Won't be long before it goes away, it's doing the opposite of what it was intended to do. Course a simple psychiatric evaluation would also have avoided the destruction of America as we know it. amerika!

They never vote. They protested in the 60s but they didn't vote. They were supposed to be the group that got Hillary elected they didn't vote. 
They are excited right now, by 2020 .They will be on to something else.

They vote.  They just don't vote at as high of a rate as of older Americans.

Here are the facts of the matter:  https://census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2014/demo/p20-573.pdf

For instance, in 2012, 38.0% of voters from 18-24 voted.  In comparison, 49.5% of voters from 25-44 voted.

It's hardly "they never vote" as suggested by your post.

that graph is a perfect example of why the politicians ignore the younger voter and will never **** off the old voters. 

If you vote in such a low percentage that your vote doesn't effect government, your age group doesn't vote. The democrats have tried everything to get more younger voters out and as your graph shows, it doesn't work, 

If they ever perfect internet voting, then watch out for the younger voter. As long as they have to take time out of their day to stand in lien and vote, then their turnout will always be low,

I disagree and would even state that to remove it would violate state rights. I doubt the Supreme Court would allow the abolishment of the electoral college. Without it  you could have the most populated states pick the President every election and smaller states would lose their right to vote . Over half the population live in about 12 states.
