    Time to buy up more guns and ammo and hide them. The government is trying to protect itself from citizen uprisings with the anti-gun movement and the NSA spying.

      Citizen uprisings are small. If there really was an uprising, it would have to be nearly all the citizens but if that were possible there would be no need for it since the citizens would have already put the government out to pasture or worse.
      Because of that, I do not understand the need for buying a large collection of guns and tons of ammo. It can only be for the pleasure of ownership and not for any protection from government which has you outnumbered and has you outgunned. For self defense, learn some street fighting and how to use a handgun or knife. Not much need for a large gun collection. If a hunter, a few well chosen guns, depending on what is hunted, will do. Large amounts of ammo can only be used in training and not in a nonexistent firefight. If you are planning to arm your neighbors, then maybe have a large collection.
      I only have an illegal to own, due to local ordinance, air rifle which can not be shot in the village limits since the ordinance says that no projectile can land within the village limits. Seems like the village police are a bit selective towards those who throw projectiles. Also bows and arrows are illegal here. If it were not for Wisconsin laws, the dear members of the village board would outlaw all weapons that can shoot, cut, hammer, etc. I am getting too old to play the moving to a better place game though some of the village staff at the village hall have hinted that if I don't like it, I should move.

        The guns and ammo are for investment , since they will become harder to get if Hillary gets in. They wont do anything against an oppressive government, given that they know where the guns are and the NSA can track whoever is planning an uprising.

    Think about it. If Mrs. Bill Clinton get elected President and she names even one liberal justice (and she will name more) then almost any EO she issues about Weapons and ammo will be upheld. Once upheld they have the status of law. The chance that Congress would pass any law overturning her WO is slim (vanishingly small) and even if they did, the change of veto override is non-existent.
    So If she gets in, 2nd amendment is dead followed shortly thereafter by the 1st's death.

      Imagine all the refugees Shillary Merkel wants to flood into the USA and you trapped in your house without a gun.
      And think about all your female relatives and friends of all ages.

      Assuming she is even elected, Hillary's problem will be getting her Supreme Court picks through the Senate.

        Even a Democrat Senate?

          A Democrat takeover of the Senate is not looking likely, even if Hillary wins the election. Republican senatorial candidates remembered the theme that "all politics is local," and played to their records supporting the needs of their constituents. That seems to be working, with a possible drop of one questionable seat. That would still leave the Republicans with a 53-47 majority.

          The question will be whether or not those RINOs from the northeast can hold out against the barrage of invective from the Hillary-favored propaganda machine that is now every major press outlet for four years. There is no decreed minimum number of justices for the SCOTUS, so even if more justices die or retire, the Senate has no obligation to give consent for replacements.

          That won't be any problem except it might lead to a civil war. After she replaces all the dyeing liberal SCOTUS with young libtards AND replaces Scalia with a uber libtard gun hater, she will feel free to push any and every nightmare we've ever had about our country.

          That's why I cringe everytime I hear somebody say they are voting 3rd party because they can't stand Killery or Trump. The day that the very small limitations she would have on her come off and she's in the oval office - we ARE finished as a nation.

            Re: "That's why I cringe everytime I hear somebody say they are voting 3rd party because they can't stand Killery or Trump." Actually, that's not cringeworthy. If third parties were not in the race, Hillary would pick up more of their votes than Trump would. Gary Johnson and Jill Stein are both a net benefit to Trump. Feel better? :-)

          Yes, even a Democrat Senate. My understanding is that 60 affirmative votes are needed, otherwise Republicans can tie up any Hillary nominee with filibusters and other procedural roadblocks.

            I don't agree. As Harry Reid has done in the past they can use the "nuclear option" and shut down the filibuster rules. The filibuster is part of the rules of the senate but is not in the constitution. So all they would need is a simple majority. 50 votes + 1 (the sitting VP).

            But Republicans are spineless, gutless cowards who would sell their own grandmothers for re-election. (Same as the Democrats.)
            Hitlery will get her nominees approved and her just desserts in a coup.

              That's an overly broad brush. And besides, many Republican senators represent states where the majority of voters would want them to oppose Hillary's Supreme Court nominees.

                Republicans can count votes and they will horse trade so that the weakest ones will be allowed to vote against confirmation, while the stronger ones will vote for confirmation (and the strong will get favors from the weaker ones when needed on other votes in con-gress.) The net result will be confirmation and betrayal by just enough of the GOP. The GOP will get favors later from the administration when its politically important for the GOP congresscritters re-election. That is how con-gress works.

                  Worst possible case scenario. With today's level of scrutiny and the propensity for leaks, I don't think they could get away with it. The GOP's previous horse trading and selling out made Trump's rise possible.

                    I would love for you to be right, but voters continue to prove they can't tell good from bad, so even when con-gressmen (and presidential candidates) are caught in criminal acts, voters still vote for them. Less and less chance of punishment for the doubletalking looters unless they doublecross other looters.

    All she has to do is wait until the senate and house change sides to Dem, and it's all over. I don't know her weight, but the fat lady will have sung.

    It's a given that if she wins then most other countries will be far freer than the USA. Then again, I'm not sure having Trump would be much different, and potentially much worse.

    Regardless, always remember - you have no right to keep and bear Ammo. Hmmm....

    In order to have complete control over the citizenry, guns have got to go. Simply one more reason to view the final dissolution of freedom in "The Land of the Free."

    Okay, Gulcher's everyone move to Az. we have state laws passed by the state govt that protects citizen gun owners. From here we will create a secessionist/Civil War movement. If enough states join Az. there won't be a United States for Hillary to lord over if elected.

    Hillary may issue as many executive orders as she wishes, but enforcing them becomes the tricky part.

    As an example, Governor Cuomo got his wish for a law in NY requiring registration of all "assault" weapons and high capacity magazines. Over 95% of estimated NY owners of such hardware simply ignored the order and became criminals overnight.

    When major law enforcement agencies in the state warned the governor that he was asking for open armed rebellion if he tried an aggressive campaign of enforcement, he wisely chose to declare a moral victory and let it pass. I suspect that much of a Hillary program will be for show, as saner individuals in the law enforcement community across the country would refuse to cooperate and act against their fellow Americans.

    Our current corrupt government does not operate under the law anymore, why should anyone else? Does anyone think that some executive order, by a corrupt president, that is unconstitutional, will be obeyed regardless what a corrupt Supreme Court might say in the future? About all her executive order could do is make tens (maybe hundreds) of millions of us criminals. So what? This will be the norm for the future of the United States if she gets in. And most of us are just too old (that's me), too lazy, or too brainwashed, to do anything about it. When the new majority rules some of us will have to fight. I'm just wondering how far down the US will have to go before the people actually do something.
