FORT WORTH, Texas — Gun sales are booming across Texas, and some buyers say their growing belief that President Barack Obama will inevitably be re-elected is fueling their race to bear more arms.
And sales haven't just risen in Texas. There's been a rush nationwide, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram ( http://bit.ly/y3YDO6) reported in Sunday's edition.
The Cheaper than Dirt gun store in Fort Worth set a sales record for February, said store owner DeWayne Irwin, who described the rush as similar to one seen shortly after Obama's 2008 election.
"We're at the top of the roller coaster, and we're about to plummet down the side," Irwin told the Star-Telegram. "It's fixing to happen again. I don't know if it will be to the same extent it was before, but I see it coming."
Alan Korwin, author of nine books on gun laws and operator of a gun laws website, said peopleare worried that Obama's re-election would embolden a major gun control push.

Go read “Enemies Foreign and Domestic”, free on Amazon Kindle (readers available free for most platforms), by our own Matthew Bracken. Then compare to the Obama’s “Fast and Furious”, and extrapolate from there. With the “Chicago way” in charge, could happen fast.
Firearms and ammunition should be TAX FREE including sales tax. I know the tax on ammunition is supposed to go for wildlife, parks or some kind of conservation that could benefit hunters but I doubt much of it benefits hunters anyway and probably none of it benefits sports shooters and why should we be taxed to exercise our Second Amendment rights?
A recent study on Oregon showed 20% of concealed carry licenses were held by women. It’s a good time to buy Sturm Ruger stock!
I’ve stated before and repeat, I’m not sure that the United States could survive a second Obama term.
Not just gun stores but ranges are busy as well. Went the other night to our local indoor range, over a one hour wait to get a lane.
Panic mongers. If the number of gun owners and believers in the second amendment would vote against Obama, he would lose in a landslide.
The sad truth is the ones who would be most likely to Rape, Murder, break into our homes and steal our guns and the things we buy them to protect are the ones most likely to vote for Barack Hussein. If you consider the great number of his supporters (most of them uncounted in the recent census) you can see how he could win. The key is getting all of them to party the night away on election eve so they won’t get out of bed in time to vote on election day. In an effort on my part to cost him votes I plan to personally host an all night disco party on election eve. I am going to spread the word that the election was already held and that he has already won so there’s no need to go vote.
Oh, he’ll distort, aggravate, lie, and agitate. He is doing it now to Rush, and he has done it to the Tea Party, Republicans in general, and conservatives in particular.
We just have to keep fighting—and not put up with the bull^$*#.
sm: Believe you gave me a tip on a holster for my hard-to-fit CZ 97B. FYI, Blade-Tech makes a nice Tyvek belt holster specifically for it. CZ-Custom Shop, or their web-site.
Thanks again.
Gun sales will really really boom in expectation of Obama re-election defeat.
Don’t need a gun for that riot. Just stop their welfare checks like in LA Roits and they will behave.
We're never going to completely rid ourselves of the damage this AA as*hole and all his cabal have unleashed on our nation, win or lose in November.
The country will end up like Ali after his fights with Frazier; he may have won the fight in the ring, but he was fatally wounded. Look at him how.
(And I don't like Ali; I'm simply using him as an example to prove my point).

I expect him to lose in November. His popularity is a myth.

THANK YOU! I still maintain that Obama will be TOAST this November and am getting so sick and tired of all this needless defeatism and negativity from our side!
I was going to say "what 3 days?", but I was thinking of Cabela's n Buda and Allen Texas, since the story was out of Ft. Worth, not a Cabela's in PA.
We don't have no steenking 3 day waiting period, not for a shotgun gun, not for a rifle, not even an ugly black semi-auto, and not for a hand gun. Walk in, show your Texas CHL, fill out the Yellow Form, plop down your $$, and take your new weapon home. If you don't have a CHL, you have to wait for the instant background check, which rarely takes very long. That's all assuming you are buying it from a FFL. If not you skip the CHL/Yellow form/Instant check stuff.
It's AFTER the election that we are worried about. BO is big on "If Congress won't act, we will". He might declare guns larger than .22 to be an "air pollution hazard" or "noise polluters", or some such twaddle, and ban 'em on his own hook. Ya never know with him. But I'm still well stocked from 2008. :) and since I was Obama-sized out of my job in Dec. '10, I can't afford anything new anyway. :) .. Although.. my wife has said she will get a gun and relearn to shoot if BO is re-elected. Not sure yet if she's thinking handgun, or rifle. I've got an M-1 Carbine that would fit her just fine, but I'd rather she get another AR. :) I'd even assemble it from a kit like I did mine. :) I guess she could shoot mine, while I use the Ugly Black Gun in 7.62 NATO.
My daughter is also talking about taking up shooting again. Regardless of who wins the Nov. 4 election.
“I’ve stated before and repeat, I’m not sure that the United States could survive a second Obama term.”
Let’s fight like heck, so that doesn’t happen.
The really funny thing is that if you were, and said you were not, you couldn't be prosecuted for lying on the form. It would you see, be a violation of your 5th amendment right not to incriminate yourself. You could of course be prosecuted for Felon in possession.
I guess it's really not so funny. But you have to laugh at the stupidity or you'll cry.
Stoke of the pen, law of the land. Or at least a regulation with the force of law. Sort of like a Non-recess recess appointment.
I think the same thing, because I am not only predicting an Obama win, but also the Dems retaking the House and gaining seats in the Senate, and picking up numerous governorships and state houses.
We’re never going to completely rid ourselves of the damage this AA as*hole and all his cabal have unleashed on our nation, win or lose in November.
You are NOT kidding. Just wait until we have 75 million people on SS+Medicare and everybody else on Obamacare. I’d LOVE to know just how we intend to pay for THAT.
