Taj Mahal has closed so he won't be able to unload any properties at a profit. Shoe will be on the other foot.

Hits the nail squarely on the head! Also a propensity for the males to grow"Duck Commander" like beards (LOLZ) and say stuff like family values.

You could drink your own, but you couldn't BUY it - not even in restaurants with a meal.

Every state used to have these laws, all of which have now been repealed. In the late 19th and early 20th century it was common for local party bosses to treat all the working class and unemployed men to drinks on election day, get them nice and drunk and tell them who to vote for, and they did what they were told. The prohibitionists got laws passed to ban the sale of alcohol on election day while the polls were open. So you can now get drunk in a bar AND buy a gun on election day, which seems like a dangerous combination to me, considering how high tempers are running in this election year.

There's a "wonderful" anecdote told in the classic Plunkett Of Tammany Hall, a book on corrupt politics that is probably something of a bible/handbook to the likes of Rove or Atwater.They'd find shaggy, bedraggled men on skid row, make the free drinks contingent on voting and often have a flunky go with them to make sure they voted correctly. First they voted in their original condition, then a drink and a trip to the barber for a haircut and go vote again. Then a drink and back to the barber to lose the full beard, then vote again. Then lose the mustache and vote again. As Plunkett put it, "Full-bearded men are the best".

Yep. Chilling, It creates a mood and conveys tacit approval. I'm absolutely certain Trump got a useless stern talking-to by the SS when he hinted that 2nd Amendment people could maybe "do something" about either H. Clinton or her judge selections if she wins. Ranks about 123rd on the list of 1,000 horrible things Cheeto Benito has said or done.

My grandfather was a coal miner from 1896 to 1930, and he said the local boss's henchmen would go from house to house on election day in the immigrant neighborhoods, handing out $5 and telling the men who to vote for. $5 was a lot of money in his day - half a week's wages, or more. He voted the way they told him to vote.

"If Hillary Clinton is elected ... , panic buying will ensure ... that there won't be a gun ... available for love nor money."

Why do these people hate small businesses? Would you let Hillary improve the business of your local BLAMBOOM establishment, please? Not only will it mean your friends and neighbors will have more money to spend in the local economy, that will also give Hillary SO MUCH MORE TO GRAB!

Saw my first "Hillary's commin' fer yer gunz!!1!one!" ad today while on vacation in Florida. Paid for by our friends the NRA, and all about how us evul libruls iz gonna take away your handgun you keep at your bedside for self defense if you're a sweet single lady living by yourself with no man to protect you. I giggled (I was drinking, don't judge) because no liberal I know wants to take away handguns for home defense. Sure, youre 38 times more likely to get shot with that gun than to fend off some nefarious ski masked criminals, but if you want to keep one at home, I don't know anyone who cares. So long as you keep it at home.
