Gun stocks plunged on Monday (2020-11-09) after so-called stay-at-home stocks in general took a hit from news that Pfizer’s vaccine for the novel coronavirus looks promising, and that mass violence, or much violence at all, failed to materialize following Democrat Joe Biden’s victory.  Gun sales generally fluctuate in anticipation of and following major shifts in political power, crises, and national disasters ranging from Trump’s election in 2016 to mass shootings, mirroring how jittery gun owners are and whether they feel the need to amass larger arsenals.

That cartoon is a bit misleading. So far based on what I've seen regarding recent history, it's the anti-trump kids who have been the violent ones en masse.

I think a lot of them are wanting an arsenal for a future race war.

Gun stocks plunged...
I'm starting to see who is not happy with the social unrest being significantly lower than predicted.
Should they take some action to defend their interests? But how to arrange a remote school shooting... :chin:

It's so sad that there are no rules on this website against posting lies.

Now why do I get the feeling that was directed at me? :scratch: There's a difference between someone lying and someone just being incorrect. Although determining whether they're actually wrong or not is often subjective.

That would be "badgering", so no thanks.

I suppose it's also time to sell my toilet paper stock.

And buy Pfizer stock naturally.

"Badgering"?

Sorry :jester:

Now, seriously: being asked for sources is usually easier to digest than being asked for evidence.

The tactics preferred by the far-right (mass shootings and targeted attacks with vehicles) only require a single attacker.

Single attackers act on their own. And blaming someone else for influencing their actions is like blaming their actions on video games or saying it's because they ate too many Twinkies

Sorry for my exhausted-at-evening sense of humor.

Asking for a source of information that is in contradiction to your general knowledge is okay.
If the person does not provide the source or the source is unreliable, telling it more than once is on a slippery slope to being pestering.

So I guess we don't need to interfere with ISIS or Al Qaeda's attempts to recruit and radicalize people online either, since they're all individuals acting with no influences whatsoever. :lol:

Far as I know usually when someone is acting for ISIS or Al Qaeda they are a subordinate following specific orders and instructions. And also usually ISIS or Al Qaeda takes credit for their actions.
