    On the topic of gun bans/confiscation/buyback/etc... Australia didn't work- they only had about 30% turn in (there are still tons of guns in Aussieland), and the bad guys certainly didn't. It won't work here, even if they effectively outlaw the 2nd Amendment, which would be impossible without a ratifying vote. Ban? The most we'll see is another Bill Clinton-esque AWB, which if HRC is elected, and the R's lose the down ballot, count on it, but they'll more than likely grandfather in what's already out there, making it as useless as the magazine ban here in CO. Voluntary buy-back? Some will, most won't. Turn in your guns? Yeah right, too many would say "hell no!" Who can enforce that? Registration? Again, if Hillary and congress are elected, count on something like it coming down the pipe. But again, relies too much on voluntary compliance, like so many here, most won't. The only option is to comb through all the 4473's sitting with the ATF and local gun stores- it'll literally take a decade to complete.

    Confiscation? Never going to happen. No life-respecting LEO would ever go door to door. Same with military and federal LE. We all live in the communities we serve, we would effectively be putting a massive target on our backs, and that'll never go through- Much less any County Sheriff ordering his guys to do so, too many David Clarkes out there. The only viable option would be to shut down the gun industry in America, which would be very difficult, to halt the supply of new firearms into the market. They can try to make possession of an "assault weapon" a felony, but if too many stand up and say no, it'll fail.

    Leaving aside the fact the media (even Fox) uses the "new" colors of Red=Republican/Blue=Democrat (historically it was the other way around ... the media reversed the colors without any explanation or comment for the 1984 election), I prefer the county-by-county map displayed on Fox that showed just how widespread the support for Trump was and how concentrated Hillary's vote was.
