I’ve got my 9mm and 12 gauge at the ready and a couple of bags full of rounds for both in case some Obama Campers come trick-or-treating at my door.

And I have a GFL for concealed carry.

People are realizing that the government is not capable of protecting them from anything.

Better get your guns now. and lots of ammo. If Obama wins we are going to see a fascist assault on conservatives in the proportion of Hitler's Holocaust.

If Obama loses you will need a gun even more. You will have several months to get one though … riots never happen in the winter, only happen in the hot days of summer. The need for new electronics seems to coincide with the hotter months. ;-)

My husband was just telling me that his mom and her husband, who live in Missouri, were driving from St. Louis to Farmington (where they live). The husband is an avid gun collector. As they approached a gun store he was familiar with, they noticed the parking lot was packed. So, of course, he just had to pull in an see what it was all about...mom waited in the car. (He loves to talk and she knew if she went in it would be hours before they left. LOL). He said the store owner told him that people were buying pistols and rifles like crazy. Not sure if the owner of the store said this or it was just my step-father-in-law guessing, but the run on guns was attributed to a possible "outcome of the election."

BO has been quoted on many occasions as saying, “ I dont believe people should own guns” He has said this over and over againg to many people when he was at the University of Illinois. If he wins I strongly suggest everybody be ready and start to stock up on ammo - it will be the money of the new economy.

OMG that’s scarey. I called several friends today, they are all terrified of this Guy. Who is Obama?

If you truly believe what you are saying...you should be calling everyone you know!

God Bless

"If it hadn't been for the National Rifle Association ... the Brady crowd, the Rosie O'Donells and the Clintons would have done away with guns," Sawyer said

Exactly true but I'll be not one in ten gun owning Freepers is a member. I'm on the banglist quite a bit and I asked repeatedly if the Freepers would put the NRA initials into their tagline. Look around and notice how few there are.

DH and I went to a gun shop recently, and the owner said guns have been flying off the shelves ... lots of women as well. We’re hoping to get our CCWs within the next couple months. The gunshop had a McCain/Palin sign in the window :)

If we get the socialist Obama to go along with the socialist Reid and socialist Pelosi any citizen that wants to be safe to be able to protect their family had better be getting their guns now.
It will be a dangerous time to be an American, to be a Christian.

A SIG is a much better first gun than a Glock for the semi uninitiated as it’s DA/SA and less likely to remove yer toes. If Zero gets elected, semi’s are gonna be verboten, but not forgotten. If you think this might matter (LOL) then maybe be lookin at a used Ruger GP100 in .357, SP101 in the same caliber, and any of the various Smith titanium revolvers... You gots to have ammo, so bloat up boys and girls. Oh.. and screw permits... prolly too late for that polite bullshit.

Half those buying their first guns are blaming the economy and Bush.

I’ll bet there are a lot of obama stickers on those cars in the parking lot. The dummies just haven’t made the connection. They were told obama “supports” the Second Amendment.

On the plus side, the blue states disarmed themselves. I’ll sit back with my popcorn.

Thanks guys. Those ads didn’t pay for themselves. You helped pay for them and I hope obama is choking on them.
