The New York Times, the New York Daily News, Newsday, U.S.A Today, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, FOX News and a host of other news organizations recently reported that gun sales across the country increased 10 percent after Barack Obama defeated John McCain. Many of the gun shop owners that were interviewed on camera stated they had never seen sales increase to this level in 15 to 20 years.
Those purchasing guns said they were doing so because of a growing fear that the spiraling economy will force desperate people to commit criminal acts. Others bought them because they believe an Obama Administration would move quickly to ban certain guns or attempt to limit their sales in United States. These are legitimate explanations that warrant serious investigation, but I believe there is one more valid explanation for the phenomenal surge that no one is bothering to discuss: the planned assassination of President Barack Obama.
Strangely, what the news agencies failed to report was that although many purchases involved commonly used handguns, the weapons that were being snatched off the shelves in record numbers were high-powered assault rifles, most notably the AR 15! On "The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric", one of the buyers looked right into the camera and said, "A man's got to protect his home and his property." Okay, here's my question. Who does this fool expect to break into his house? Bigfoot? I'm sorry, but that milk smells spoiled and I'm not buying it! Am I the only one that thinks there is something very, very wrong here?
In my honest opinion, anyone that purchases a high-powered, military-linked assault rifle has an agenda. Period!

A government that oversteps its bounds?
“In my honest opinion, anyone that purchases a high-powered, military-linked assault rifle has an agenda.”
In my opinion, anyone who breaks into my house has an agenda, and I want to have a bigger one.
Do you understand, now?
What a maroon.
"Okay, here's my question. Who does this fool [Whitey] expect to break into his house? Bigfoot? I'm sorry, but that [white] milk smells spoiled and I'm not buying it! Am I the only one that thinks there is something very, very wrong here [with Whitey]?"
Screw you, homes. We don't care WHAT you "buy." WE are exercising our constitutional right. Don't like it? There's a comfy hut in Kenya for ya. ITMT stay out of my face.
Just another asshat lib who’s simply writing about something that he has no clue about. His equation for the article is that gun sales = racist rednecks.
This ‘G-Man’ has no cocnept of weapons or home defense. An AR-15 would not be anyone who knows anything about rifles first choice for the ‘agenda’ he is talking about. Any long barrel 7.62 would be better.
I just hope that no one does it. They would take all our weapons away! We can wait out the next administraion. No sense giving the take-the-guns-away crowd more ammo.
Great for home defense, especially at a distance of 300 meters!
If such an attempt were to be made, the perpetrator has already made plans and is already very well armed.
This idiot’s tinfoil slipped big time.
Oh I do. It's called defending my freedom. What little there is left of it due to facists like this guy.
Well, apparently a pea-shooter would suffice, if the author were to break into anyone's house.
Ditto.
Pure Garbage.
Guns and ammo are probably the most healthy retail sector at this point. :)
My 2cents.
Completely CLUELESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
It's not a race issue either. This idiot writer could just as easily have his home and property confiscated as anyone else. He's too freaking blind to see that, apparently.
Wow. I am amazed this guy is even employed. He makes more illogical, baseless, nonsensical assumptions. What an embarrassment. What evidence does he have to back this up?
“In my honest opinion, anyone that purchases a high-powered, military-linked assault rifle has an agenda. Period! “
Ok, I’m convinced.
I need to get me an AR15
Mabye this dumbass writer ought to concern himself more with Plexico Burris packing an illegal firearm in a nightclub and nearly killing himself when it went off — if he had hit his femoral artery (bullet went through his thigh) he easily could have bled to death within minutes.
What a fool. If someone was actually intent on an assassination a scoped bolt-action rifle would be the best pick, not an AR-15.
“These are legitimate explanations that warrant serious investigation, but I believe there is one more valid explanation for the phenomenal surge that no one is bothering to discuss: the planned assassination of President Barack Obama.”
Is this clown stating that all the purchasers want a piece of Obie? That there is an army out to get the One?
This is pure nuts. And his editor must be a bigger clown.
Liberalism is a mental disorder(Savage)...proved by this article.
