While in the sporting goods store buying arrows for my daughter, i was
looking at an inexpensive short barrel pump action 12 guage shotgun by
Mossberg because some people have told me I need protection while
sailing (I dont think I do).  The salesman told me they have sold more
of these lately than most other guns and they have sold twice as many
"non-hunting guns" as they normally do.  When I asked why, he told me
that people are worried about the results of the election..............

And people who buy a short-barrel shotgun for protection are not exactly
the most knowledgeable around...  It is obvious they have been playing
too many video games where the shot pattern is such that a general aim
in the direction of the bad guys puts them out of business.

Actually for inside a residence it is a prefered choice.
Used with 6-1/2 to 8 shot and you have an effective weapon for typical
ranges inside a house or apartment that won't penetrate two or three or
four sheet rock walls like a pistol bullet will.

I figure, if things get hot, there will be plenty of weaponry available
for a clever person to pick up.  The people stockpiling are none too
bright, if this group is any indication.
Seems to be more than an 8 year old could handle. The news says he
couldn't control the recoil. Any responsible adult would have seen
that and tried some lighter recoil gun to test his ability.

WTF?

Do you THINK you are replying to the OTHER message, Jack?
