stripped gun shops in some parts of the country almost bare of assault weapons

Every one of these gun grabbing ass clowns view anything that can fire a bullet as an "assault" weapon ...

Idiots

After the Maersk Alabama piracy affair it has been suggested that US ship crews be trained in the use of firearms in order to protect the ship.
The same argument applies to the law-abiding, tax-paying US citizens—they too have the right to protect themselves against domestic piracy.

Just as merchant ships cannot always depend on the protection of naval vessels, neither can law-abiding citizens depend on the timely protection of law enforcement agencies. The whole idea of disarming all citizens should be repulsive to all lawmakers, whether democrat or republican.

I just bought one of these beauties:

It's a Saiga 12, basically an AK-47 chambered for 12 gauge. 12 round box or 20 round drum magazine.

Yes, and along with buying guns, I think it would be a good idea for pro-gun folks to help fight gun control by joining the NRA --- and they are still offering one year free membership at http://www.nrahq.org/nrabonus/.

Not a bad take from a relentlessly left-wing periodical. It shows just how afraid the American MSM are of seriously considering this issue that we'd have to read this sort of thing in the UK Guardian.

For the U.S. media there's only one mantra: the upsurge in sales of firearms and ammunition is motivated by fear, paranoia, hysteria; gun owners are stupid, being manipulated by the Svengalian NRA, too violent and ignorant even to be considered seriously. It's a real shame - they're missing the story and the Guardian is not.

It isn't Obama himself, actually, it's the progressive ideologues he's brought with him into office, but there is a large element within the sitting government of the United States that is committed to gun control in any form, and no amount of carefully-worded denials are going to mask that truth. "I won't come after your firearms" does not mean "I won't make them impossible to obtain," which is exactly what the gun control activists do intend. If not that, then ammunition. That's the reason sales are up.

To be more blunt, there is a large portion of the American population who, having been lied to consistently and repeatedly about the matter in the past, now think they're being lied to again, and are behaving accordingly. That's the story here. It would be nice to read it in any of the U.S. media.

"A year ago, the Guns and Ammo Warehouse was selling, each month for $1,000 each, about 10 of their AR-15s, a semi-automatic civilian version of the army's M-16 assault rifle."

What, a reporter actually understands that these "assault rifles" people are buying aren't actually assault rifles but semi auto copies of the real assault rifles? Say it ain't so!
