We must be really bad at this

Bannon mentioning FEMA camps and the 2ed amendment reminded me that since 1993 all three Democratic presidents were going to take away our guns and Bibles and of course lock up whoever in these "FEMA camps" across the country.

The reason I know we must be bad at this is I have increased the number of either guns or Bibles that I own while all three were in office. I don't have a crazy milita arsenal but I like guns and I like old Bibles. And at no point during the Clinton, Obama or Biden terms have I ever felt any was in danger of them being taken away from me.

At some point the people forking over the money might realize how little danger they are in of being rounded up, but I doubt it. It feeds into their self importance to think government agents are tracking them to find the best time to whisk them away in the black suburban, never to be heard from again.
