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.

Think about this for a minute......Ask yourself, how many hunters are there in my state and then add in the number of hunters in the rest of the states in the U.S. They all own guns and probably more than one or two. That’s one hell of an army out there. We all know that our military people are very well trained and have superior weapons than the general population BUT, AND more importantly, would they (and LEO’s) turn on all of us? IMHO, I think NOT!
People are arming themselves for one reason or another but when the sh t hits the fan, they will more than likely band together for a common cause. The retaking of our nation. At least I truly hope so.

A few would, especially LEO’s. But that goes both ways because we know where they live too, and the law of the jungle is there is no law.
“People are arming themselves for one reason or another...”
Right, but don't forget, not everyone that arms themself is a patriotic-type; the leftists are involved in this too.
Until conservatives learn how to fight the lies, Obama will win. Until conservatives learn that winning matters over manners, Obama will win.
Here in WA you get to wait up to 5 buisness days without a
CPL, no wait if you have one.
The counter at Cabelas in Lacey is usually mobbed.
BTW I found two nice shootable Krag carbines on the used rack, probably cut down rifles but a nice little gun nonetheless.
Next purchase will be a nice suppressor for my HK45.

Not a problem to find them, they wil be the ones with their mouths going wide open. Might be easy to pick them off.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They’ll be screaming that they want their “free” birth control pills.
Pray for our country!
Be Ever Vigilant!
I concur.
I am in the process of getting confident enough to purchase my own handgun and waiting for my bonus later this month to purchase it. I’m lucky enough that the priest that married me and his former sniper buddy are guiding me through this.
Never grew up around guns as my father had never been a proponent of owning guns and has been very leery when I mentioned my plans to arm myself. Last week my Dad confided that he is going to be taking a firearm safety source with the intent of getting a gun for his home.
His biggest concern is the economic mess and the upheaval that will come with it.
The fact that even he sees what’s happening is only speeding up my preparations.
It is a liberal meme, and Andrew Breitbart mentions this in his last book:
MEME: Black president may be elected, conservatives buy guns, are thereby racist.
REALTY: Normal people recognize this man and his ideological associates are hell bent on destroying first our economy, then our country. Conservatives don’t accept they must act as victims in the coming unrest.
I need to say this is NOT a quote fro the book, it follows his explanation of liberals and racism. Sorry for the error, I only noticed it after I posted.
Moon clips.....
My brother in law, and his family, live in Lacey. He's got a much bigger gun safe/cabinet than I do. :)
