There's a video at the link from a TV news station.
I hope that the Republican Party learns just how important the gun owners vote is and begins to reverse the gun laws that are on the books now that do nothing but harm law abiding Americans.
I won’t hold my breath though... at least someone sees what is going on.

They’re right. The evidence is right in front of us. We ALL see it. We ALL have that ‘anecdotal’ evidence that shows that nobody’s voting for Obama. We’ve all seen the lines at the gun store. Those of us who never had a gun before have all gone to get one.
Our instincts are right on this. The polls are wrong. (I hope!...lol)
Democrats keep nominating MORE and MORE liberal candidates.
Gore in 2000 was more liberal than Clinton; Kerry in 2004 was more liberal than Gore; and in 2008 they nominate a freakin’ Marxist like Obama.
They never learn!
This is a good comment to hear from you 2ndDivisionVet.
I trust your judgement. Will the PUMA’S make that much of a difference and help pull McCain/Palin over the finish line?
I have to say they have really been doing their part.
What alarms me is this Obama “Victory” mass celebration
planned for Chicago. Sqeeze a million folks into a city center, pump them up for hours, then let disappointment, disillusionment and rage work them over and it has every chance of turning out horrifically. Then again the left
has to know this and is willing to use fear and terror
as a political tool. Well, we knew this but it is going
to be a shock to the body politic.
Some food for thought...
1) Congress is contemplating a $300B spending bill as an economic stimulus package. Charlie Rangle had one republican at the hearing who wants lower taxes and smaller government. Everyone treated him like he was first prize at a turkey shoot, ripping his backside up one side an down the other. They want to spend that money on municipal construction projects to get the economy moving, like in the Great Society. That’s great if we still lived in the economy of the 50s and/or you’re a construction worker with no job. Everyone else who is living in the information age and is unemployed, which is probably the greater portion, can just go take a hike.
2) I found a blurb about how Obama wants to take part of that $700B Paulson abomination and use it to take over failed mortgages, turn those houses into HUD section-8 and relocate inner city people into them. So, you’re in the information age, lost your job, get kicked out of the house you’ve worked your rear off for until the governemnt’s blunders made it impossible, and Obama’s got some welfare recipient lined up to move in. Nice, huh?
If he gets elected and does half of the things he says he will, there’s going to be stuff coming down. That’s why people are stocking up.
Any if he does win, those guns may come in handy when the Jackbooted storm troopers come to get them.
Let’s see, in the last two weeks I have renewed my NRA membership and sighted in both of my 1903 Springfields. Next week I’m going to Camp Perry/CMP store and probably gonna pick up an M1 Garand.
And about 1000 rounds of 30.06 ammo. For starters.
In one election cycle, the Democrat Party will do to this country what the Soviet Union couldn’t do in fifty years.
If no one thought obama would win, no one would be standing in lines at the gunshops.
Unfortunatly, there are those who would vote for obama but buy a gun before the election so they can dump it later when the prices go up.
People will protect themselves, as necessary. The fact that gun sales are increasing shows that folks do not trust the potential Hussein government and expect they will need to defend themselves from domestic enemies of the Constitution.
Just remember, he is not elected yet, folks. You can make a difference on 4 November.

Yes - the last several Presidential elections. If the author can't find evidence of this happening before, he isn't looking hard enough. Given a comment elsewhere in the article, he wasn't on the concerned side, and thus unaware of the degree of stocking up going on then. Heck, I got my first AR before Clinton precisely because I expected such bans.
Gun Sales Shoot Through the Roof Despite Bad Economy

Not all business is slow right now. In fact, gun sales are up 10% nationwide.
Some Reno firearms instructors say even people who never thought they’d hold a gun are now signing up for their concealed weapons training classes.
Many people fear that if Barack Obama wins the presidential race, he may do what Bill Clinton tried to do and ban semi-automatic rifles.
The Gun Trader in Reno used to sell two or three assault rifles a week - now two or three a day. “You don’t know what’s gonna happen in the future. Probably not a bad time to buy,” says buyer Art Verling.
Obama says he believes in people’s right to bear arms, but Democrats historically try to enact gun controls.
Meanwhile, people in Washoe County are looking for more protection since police say break-ins and robberies are on the rise.
And with break-ins and robberies on the rise in Washoe County, people also want protection now more than ever.

Gun Sales On Rise In FL On Fear Of An Obama Presidency

Florida Gun Sales up Because of Fear of an Obama Presidency
Posted on October 29, 2008 by Mr Pink Eyes
Florida residents, who understand that Barack Obama is against the second amendment, are buying guns before it becomes a crime under an Obama administration.
Here is where he stands on the second amendment:
* As a state legislator in Illinois, Obama supported banning the sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic firearms, increasing state restrictions on the purchase and possession of firearms
* He supported a “ban” on the sale and possession of handguns on a political questionnaire
* As state senator, he voted against a 2004 measure that allowed self-defense as an affirmative defense to those charged with violating local laws making it otherwise unlawful for such persons to possess firearms.
* He voted against allowing persons who had obtained domestic violence protective orders to carry handguns for their protection.
* Obama has also stated his opposition to allowing citizens to carry concealed guns and supports a national law outlawing the practice
Is it any wonder people are buying guns now before Barack Obama becomes president?

Have worked with some Pumas here in NV.
Dedicated to taking down Zero.
God Bless them.
I’m buying a new .22 bolt action rifle for the birthday of a certain female who shoots like a pro.
...and a mutual FRiend of ours just bought a new SOCOM 16 last night. :)
Somebody didn't do their research and has a lax memory. I looked at 46 posts on this thread before I start writing this. How about the off year election in 1994? When the Clinton's passed that draconian gun control AWB/magazine ban? What was the bloody result? The Rats out on their A$$E$ after ruling Congress for 40+ years. Go back further. The 2000 election. Gore loses his HOME STATE of Tennessee which hasn't happened in perhaps a century. Even Peanut Jimmy got Georgia in 1980. Gore also loses West-By-God Virginia which hadn't gone Republican in ten cycles minimum. But the first day of deer season is a school holidy in WV. Why? Simple. All those workin' class folks suddenly were faced with the reality that indeed the Rats rhetoric might be (as the Not-so Reverend Not-so Wright would put it) COMMIN' HOME TO ROOOOOOST! Later even Bill Clinton would acknowledge on a variety of news interviews that the NRA beat Gore. Later he would admit that the RATs lost control of Congress over gun control and more importantly over their 10 yr ban. Liberals are idiots. Like lemmings over the cliff, I think it's in their DNA to suicide over the issue of the 2nd Amendment. Folks, it's about to happen again.
