Ideological wars are not won with guns. Good ideas beat bad ideas. The reason bad ideas win, at least politically, is because there are enough people who will vote for politicians who campaign on the platform that they will take money from one group of taxpayers with the promise that it will be given to them, the faithful party voters.

Of course, this can’t go on forever. As Margaret Thatcher said, “Socialism works until you run out of other people’s money.” How close are we? I don’t know. When we do know, it will be too late to buy a gun and the needed ammunition.

Class warfare rhetoric, the irrational economic theories of the Occupy crowd, who are preparing protests beginning in September, and repeated racial division, evidenced by an increase of black-on-white assaults, could make for social and economic volatility.

Anti-gun politicians are trying to get around the clear wording of the Constitution by putting restrictions on ammunition. Although ammunition is implied, there’s nothing in the Second Amendment that says Americans have a right to own ammunition. New laws might require a waiting period on the purchase of ammunition, so people are stocking up just in case.
