Gun sales brisk ahead of election

Gun sales are going boom around the country as gun owners and gun advocates brace for a potential Democrat in the White House for the first time in almost 10 years.

Democrats, meanwhile, say there's no reason to worry that presidential hopeful Barack Obama would attempt to curtail access to most guns, though that hasn't stopped the buying spree.

I just talked to a gun dealer who said they’ve broken all sales records this year. The statistical numbers don’t even begin to include the private party sales, which is the way we should be buying anyway.

Just bought an M4... going ammo shopping tomorrow.

I am going to buy more ammo ASAP.....
If Obama gets elected{ God Forbid}, I told every gun owner to buy as much ammo as they get.

easier to buy ammo without the gov’t knowing.

My ass they won't. With control of the White House and Congress, you can bet your 20 round clip that they are going to start doing everything they can to make laws to assist the anti gun bunch. Maybe not in actual guns owned. However, they will maybe tax sales of ammo out the roof, etc. Making new FEDERAL laws about where you can take a gun, regardless of state laws. I don't believe the damned communist A-holes for one minute. NOT ONE!!!

Access to “any” guns versus most guns ........Obama WILL take and restrict firearms other than a single shot shotgun or rifle and will make you train for a year to get just a revolver IMO.

Yeah you can have “a” gun......Obama will by executive action , clintonista stroke of the pen , law of the land style ban on ownership of anything more than one of each and a limited amount of ammo that will have taggants in the powder and tags on the bullets and the brass. Reloading components will be on the level of obtaining a NFA AOW Class III firearm with multi thousand dollar license fees etc ......But YOU will have a gun after wading through the socialist Cow Crap the DNC wants to impose on Americans !

Millions of legal gunowners will become criminals overnight when such IS IMPOSED if Socialist Democrats get the WH ! His asshat followers will get better treatment in Obama’s world if they ignore, abuse and dismiss the laws, rules and traditions of this country.

Locally reloading supplies, tools and equipment are FLYING off the shelves. Ammo by the cases and EBR’s are sold 2-20 a day in some small towns with just 2 gun shops !

Gun dealers better save their earnings ...... if Obama gets in then they are out IMHO.

Stay safe !

I’m picking up a new Glock 19 tomorrow that’s been on layaway at my dealer. While I’m there I’m going to put another on as well as a new full size AR or a M4 carbine.

Just doing my part for the economy......You know ;)

It’s always a good idea to have one semi-auto on hand for every adult member of the family.

Toy shopping sure is fun, isn’t it?

I was at a gun show last weekend and it was packed, hard to find parking space.

If you are going to buy, now is the time. If you wait until it's obvious, the shelves will be bare.

My guess is that the stalinists will try the England method first. Own all the guns you want, but they must be locked up at the local police station and checked in and out.

They could be buying more guns and ammo in anticipation of the riots after Obama loses.

1. Donate to the NRA.
2. Donate to the Republican Party.
3. Volunteer for the election.
4. Go to the range more often.

As a side note, I wonder how many obama supporters were at the gunshow who didn’t make the connection.
