HOUSTON A week after the election of Barack Obama, gun buyers across the country are voting with their feet, flocking to gun stores to stock up on assault rifles, handguns and ammunition.
Some say they are worried that the incoming Obama administration will attempt to reimpose the ban on assault weapons that expired in 2004. Others fear the loss of their right to own handguns. A few say they are preparing to protect themselves in the event of a race war. ........ One expert sees a darker motive driving some post-election gun purchasers.
"Why are white people buying assault weapons?" said Ben Agger, a sociology professor at the University of Texas at Arlington who wrote a book about the Virginia Tech slayings. "I almost hate to say it, but there is a deep-seated fear of the armed black man, because Obama now commands the military and other instruments of the justice system. They are afraid Obama will exact retribution for the very deep-seated legacy of slavery."

You just gotta chuckle at the fact these dumbasses get paid to say stuff like this.
"We" have a deep-seated fear of the armed black man", but it is the Democrats that want to disarm the inner city Blacks.
Now here is racism at it's finest, and no one will call this clown on it. Is he saying black men aren't afraid of black men with guns? How about Asians? Has he noticed the Irish and the Brits? I guess those aren't the deep-seated type of fear that only he knows about.
How difficult is it to use Occam's razor and conclude that no one wants to be unarmed in self-defense? How historically ignorant is this professor, that he is unaware of the history of all of humanity's oppression by tryants?
There would have been no slave trade if those Africans were toting Enfields. But I'm sure their chieftains would have called them bitter clingers in times of despair
"What he isn't, not a genetic drop of, is African-American. The decendent of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn't a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British ended it."
It's not just white people. Black, brown, yellow, red, blue, ...
It's quite a diverse crowd.
Thank you for the quotes...
Thank you for the stats...
>Note the picture: a white guy, (red neck) holding a rifle, not just any rifle, but one that has to scare the crap out of any anti-gun nut, but also those who are more middle of the road. None of the portrayals, the descriptions, motives, etc. described are accidental, but are how the left shapes opinions and attitudes.<
That’s an $8000 Barrett .50 caliber. It does scare the sh!t out of politicians to think that American citizens can protect themselves with such an expensive weapon. A single armor piercing round currently costs $4.00 at the local gun shows.
According to the Brady Bunch, one deadly $4 round will bring a Boeing 747 down out of the skies!
It's going to be an interesting 4 years. Whatever Obama does (or fails to do), there will be lots of people unhappy with him. Stay safe in your work environment, this guy does not sound like anybody I would want to be near.
He's going to be very disappointed, I think. So far it's looking like Clinton's third term, without the great good luck.
When 2012 comes and Obama has waffled his way through a deep recession without doing much to improve the lot of the blacks, I predict they will stay home in large numbers and clear the way for Palin or Jindal to waltz into office.
Things will be way ugly if Obama is turned out after one term. Write that down, note the date. November 2012...the beginning of the end of America.
Who’s the chicken farmer on the running board? Tyson?
At least the guy didn’t draw any false analogies about white people buying and owning black rifles. It’s gonna happen, though.
“I went to Cabelas here in Pa. last night to buy more ammunition.”
Last Thursday I went to Cabelas to buy some ammmo at lunch thinking it would be empty. There was a huge crowd of white guys there and only a few men behind the counter.
Two middle aged black women came up to the gun counter’s cash register to check out some item. After a long wait, they were advised to checkout downstairs. I can only imagine what they thought seeing us fondling guns and waiting to buy ammo.
“Write that down, note the date. November 2012...the beginning of the end of America.”
According to the Mayan Calendar, the world will be ending December 21, 2012. A coinkydink?
That’s what I was thinking when I posted. What does Revelation say about the Anti-Christ serving for forty and four months? I was thinking that if Pope Benny dropped dead around Easter, the next Pope could be the last Pope. Maybe Obama really is The One. The Horned One.
No idea. It is one of Hitler’s men.
Is it possible that once upon a time, a crack opened for Henry; and, a small truth crept in?

It’s Himmler...he was a big time poultry dude, like Tyson in Arkansas.
He misspoke. It makes him nervous that we have rights at all.
