"We have four boxes used to guarantee our liberty: The soap box, the ballot box, the jury box and the cartridge box". -- Ambrose Bierce (1887)
I've tried to make it a habit to buy a new gun the day after election day. I'd like to say it's because I want to exercise my rights, but really it's because I like guns... though generally the less I like the election results, the more I buy. (Two years ago I bought 3.)
Unfortunately, with my current job situation and the economy, I didn't feel I could swing it this year; even adding a Mosin Nagant would be a stretch.
I'm wondering if anyone partakes in this post-election habit and if they did, did they pick up anything interesting?
Hmm...does buying more ammo count...or just rifles? I've got some more .30-06 coming...FWIW.
Not post election, I did mine pre-election, with an AR Partial Build, and an M1 Build,, you saw that one, earlier this year at V.E.,,, But I have been reloading at a steady pace,,

I bought in advance, built an AR-15
In 2008 when I saw which way the political winds were blowing and having the discretionary income (ahh the good old days), I was adding one per month to the gun safe which soon necessitated another gun safe. Crown jewel was an M1A. Glad I did it then because no way I could swing it now.
Affirmative; CMP order of various large and small items. Use imagination.

Post election buy?
What ever happened to 1 gun a month? Isn't that the law somewhere? ;D

Sight in after Elections :---
Stock and rotate ammo in between O0

Possibly?
Nah, I pretty much hoard armaments all the time... nothing special for election day. My election day routine is to drink a glass of champagne to celebrate the riddance of the evil bastard that just got voted out, and take a shot of whiskey to mourn the election of the evil bastard that just got voted in.
And then I go back to trying to live as free as possible from their interference... and of course back to hoarding armaments and shooting a lot. Maybe making a few Riflemen here and there. ;)
