"Once people started to realize that the Democrats had a better chance, or seemed to have a better chance, they started getting nervous about certain gun regulations," said Illinois Gun Works' Owner Dan Mastrianni. Recent gun sales are up nationally 42 percent. In Illinois, they are up 38 percent; and in Chicago's suburbs 50 percent.

I find it hilarious that the gun shop owner put a picture of Obama on his wall. Isn't that a form of a fearmonger/sales tactic?

I love it!

NRA should issue BO trading stamps.

As long as there is a second amendment there will be no Marxism in this country.

Another unintended consequence on behalf of the Democrat party. They are the gift that keeps giving.

Here’s a question you can pose to the Leftists:

Whom would a terrorist or criminal rather face, someone who cannot be armed or some who might be armed?

Bonus question: Why do most mass shootings happen in “Gun-Free” zones?

[LouAvul]

Chicago residents have forever been like sheep allowing the state and local pols to trample their second amendment rights.

Why are they now so interested in guns?

[Suz in AZ]

Won’t the icing on the cake be that crime drops as a result? That would be priceless!

[Oldpuppymax]

But given the strict—indeed unconstitutional—gun laws, I though Chicago was a crime-free city! Could it be I err??!!

[SJRebel]

Sorry, but that really should say:

Whom would a terrorist or criminal rather face, someone who cannot be armed or someone who might be armed?

“As long as there is a second amendment there will be no Marxism in this country.”

Sorry to disagree with you, but I wouldn't be too sure about that.

To Quote:

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.(2nd Amendment)

And

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. (9th Amendment

Try to buy a gun or get a Carry permit without all kinds of red tape. It would seem like the phrase ‘shall not be infringed’ is coming under a great deal of abuse these days

Also consider how the Socialist media uses phrases like ‘we need common sense limits on guns or some other such nonsense – implying that there aren't a slew of such measures already.

The water is getting hotter all the time

Private sale, carry anyway.

And we have to keep fighting the fight. My point is that as long as there is a second amendment, no one is coming to your door in the middle of the night demanding you turn in your firearm.

The minute the second is repealed, a national police force will be put in place and the brownshirts will come to get our guns. I believe this is what Obama’s national police force will be used for.

[lonevoice]

Wow. The percentage increase in gun sales keeps climbing. If these percentages are accurate, it’s sure making a loud statement.

[SJRebel]

I would add, Make your own – at least until Ocrap outlaws metal(LOL)

[SJRebel]

I agree completely, if they mange to get rid of the second amendment, say hello to the Neo-Chekists in the middle of the night.

The problem is that the Socialists keep on incessantly chipping away at the foundations of this country.

[TheConservativeParty]

If they do that, their brown shirts will turn red before they enter my house.
