Gun sales up 49% due to Obama Fear

Interestingly, gun sales continue to rise.

Compared to last year, sales are up 49% compared to the same period last year. Many site their reason as fear of Obama's anti-gun policies.

    Doesnt make sense to buy a bunch of guns if he is going to take them away. The key is to have ones that they dont know about & cant find.... I'm just sayin. lol

    They want my guns they can pry them from my cold dead hands.

    & good luck with that cuz I'm wearing a vest (only taken 1 shot with it too) so it is still in pretty good condition.

    Is'nt there some old piece of paper that talks about our right to bear arms?

    They will most likely just continue to limit the kinds of guns that can be sold. Knowing this, people are rushing to get guns they know will A. not be available for very much longer or B. will be much more expensive.

    This is just the beginning of the complete stomping the Constitution is going to get in the next 2 years. Just wait.

    The only way they can take our rights is if we let it happen. I for one wont stand for it. By force if need be. I just hope there are ALOT more people in this country that are not affraid of them.

    The first steps they will take is to impose required changes in ammo. Things like lead free bullets will drive the cost way up. Then there are always the taxes they have been trying to pass for more than 10 years.

    The last thing they want to try is to confiscate the guns ESPECIALLY after the ruling by SCOTUS last summer.

    Could have something to do with Obama changing his position on gun control THE DAY AFTER getting elected.

    The right to arm bears...

    Or... the right to bear your arms (ie show your tats)....

    Wasn't it something like that the old guys in wigs said we could do?

    They said things like that:

    "The Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms."

    Samuel Adams

    But they weren't alone:

    "Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest. "

    Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

    "It is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks. It is legal and lawful to own a shotgun or a rifle. We believe in obeying the law."

    Malcom X

    Or if you believe on the other side:

    "A system of licensing and registration is the perfect device to deny gun ownership to the bourgeoisie."

    If they start taking guns away, I predict "The south shall rise again!"

    Has the U.S. government ever actively tried to take guns from people?

    I thought historically, they just limited who could buy what.

    The Constitution has not done well under our current president.

    Yeah, I just got another big check and added to my collection. I must have skewed the market. ;-)

    The funny thing is - these are REPORTED sales. One thing Joe Biden tried to do was to make it necessary to record private transactions between individuals - with all the fees and taxes that dealers incur. He failed at that as a senator. If you think the public market is going crazy...you have no idea what's going on with private sales....

    BTW - I showed my "Lifetime License to Carry" to one of my Califoria buddies while I was out there to his total disbelief. Neat little thing that Indiana residents can get. It's good for life in 22 states. :-) Any time any of you folks want to join Free America, we're here.

    BTW - for those of you out there, the market price on Ruger LCPs has dropped dramatically because of the recall. It was a small number of pistols recalled but affected the entire stock. Would be a great small CCW gun for an investor who would like to keep a light .380 in his/her pocket all day and Ruger reliability is phenomenal.

    I recently got into shooting, and took my girlfriend with me...she's a pretty good shot, so I guess I wont be pissing her off too much, lol.

    do any of yall belong to shooting clubs, or go to ranges very often? I wouldn't mind joining one...I need to look up that lifetime deal.
