    I totally understand their apprehension. There is no worse feeling then living within the borders of your country with no representation, which I felt throughout the Obama administration. Some of the Rhetoric in this presidential campaign would make some people feel this way.

    I find it ironic that liberals are talking about buying guns now. Maybe they'll finally see why we have the second amendment and it's ultimate purpose. It's your last line of defense against tyranny. They've just been so blinded by "hope" that they felt it would never be needed.

    I've taken two new shooters out in the past month. I'm taking another one next week. 2/3 consider themselves something other than Republican or Conservative.

    That being said, California seems to think they can find oxygen by diving deeper, and it turns out they are just depriving themselves of the very thing they seek. I can't wait to get out of this fucked up state.

    A lot of people are very, very frightened. My kid's school is mostly hispanic and the stuff they are telling me that their classmates are saying is incredible. The day before the election, they told me that kids were running around saying it was the last day of freedom. I didn't understand and had to be explained that it was the day before the election. I realized the fear once put into that context. Today I asked them what their friends at school were saying, and one little boy remarked to my niece, "Hey, do you want to go die in a ditch with me?"

    These are fourth and fifth graders. They would't have these unrealistic fears were it not for their parents planting those ideas in their heads. I'm saddened that people are so afraid of a change in leadership. I understand that people are afraid that they're going to be deported or something, but I just don't see it happening.

    My girlfriend (who is a pretty staunch liberal) asked me yesterday to teach her how to shoot.

    What is up with this fear mongering. This is way more intense than I have ever seen in my 49 years on this planet. I actually feel safer than I've felt in 8 years.

    Look at how desperate Dims were to win. There was no restraint and too many useful people.

    If they'd give Trump a chance to disprove their phobias, I think most would be pleasantly surprised. But do we think Soros/DNC is going to do that? That's why we're already seeing violence.
