Or we're going have a civil war or some sort of revolution.

This appeals to some of the base. For decades there have been military exercises in Texas, etc., to get used to the terrain. So every four years they have exercises in parts of Texas. Recently, the military coming through to the exercise area spurs talk of invasion among the folk there. They're all spooked by something that didn't phase em 20 years ago.

Then there's Meal Team 6. We have these guys who it's a hobby/credo to keep up those perishable gun skills for when the sh!t hits the fan. Now the need for those skills approaches zero, but the review of safety skills is good. I don't mind a hobby, but do you really need to own 75 pistols as a plumber? Do you have your retirement all planned out, or are you going to be dependent on social security?

It makes sense this would be something to do in the rural areas, but at some point sticking tannerite in things and shooting them stops being entertaining. Now hunting, that's different, but that's on the wain. But I think the capitalist objective is to get a hundred or so different types of guns into every American household to reach sales objectives. So now we have pink Barbie guns.
