This article was mentioned tonight (10-27-08) on CNBC on the show
hosted by Donny Deutsch (sp?).

It was interesting to see the host try to grasp the thought that
a couple of his guests from the CNBC staff, Jeff Mackey and
Joe Kernan (sp?) basically agree with the observations in the article:
people are hunkering down, buying guns before Obama takes over
and to defend the homesteads if necessary during a really ugly
recession (maybe Depression).

Tulsa, weekend after the election. Huge gun show if you really want to buy a gun. It is one of the largest gun shows you will ever see. At the fair grounds.

Moynihan Asks Big Tax Increase On Ammunition

By ADAM CLYMER
Published: November 4, 1993
Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan said today that he would insist that President Clinton’s health-care plan include a huge increase in Federal taxes on handgun ammunition that would make some especially destructive bullets unaffordable.
The New York Democrat has often contended that the best way to attack gun violence would be to restrict the sale of ammunition, not guns. Today, for instance, he noted that the nation has a 200-year supply of guns but only a 4-year supply of ammunition.
“Guns don’t kill people; bullets do,” he told the Senate as he introduced his legislation today. “It is time the Federal Government began taxing handgun ammunition used in crime out of existence.”

...just picked up a new .380 auto/hollow points/concealed carry holster last week...the guy at the gun store said sales were up, the pistol range was busy and their next concealed carry class was booked full.

To quote one of the Presidential candidates:

"People have to have something to cling to."

I had NBC on for local news and did other things after, left it on and overheard Brian Williams mention this, but his reasoning was the economy and thus a fear of increased crime.

Ummm Brian?

bitter clinger?

ObamaNation is the reason!

You pathetic drive-bys are helpless jokes!

This month I bought a Mossberg shotgun. On the first of the month I will buy the last one on my wish list.

Any NY NRA members here who could give me an update on how Heller is being applied to strike down the socialist gun laws we have here? Can I get one at an out of state gun show, if I only have a NY ID?
