It's easy to say that when it's not your ass on the line tbf. Giving the Dems a big majority sounds great because it shuts out the GOP while they go nuts but can put tons of businesses and jobs in the industry at risk, some of which involve peoples entirely livelihoods and careers. That's why I didn't vote for Biden despite everything. I vastly prefer him to Trump, but especially in this economy I can't afford for him to go nuts with the ATF or EO's, it's not like you can just get another job nowadays if things go wrong.
I’m pretty sure the ATF is going to be booked for the foreseeable future dealing with the budding far-right insurgency, so I doubt that’s really going to be a concern, and big gun control legislation seems pretty far down the list of priorities after impeachment, corona, climate, shoring up democracy, etc.
What do you think is going to happen to your business in the event of civil war or large-scale upheaval of some type? Maybe you’ll make money for the first few months, but you’d have a target on your back with the feds and any insurgents who want to acquire weaponry. If the country collapses, I doubt that’ll be good for you, even if it might be better for business in some ways.
An insurgency from the altright is going to be more like the Troubles than an out and out civil war.
