The nation's gun owners have the presidential election in their sights.
Some are up at arms about the prospect of future gun legislation should Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama win the White House. Others are beefing up their personal arsenals, skittish that firearms could become scarce or too expensive in the near future.
"If the economy is down, and gun sales are up, it shows you just how deep-seated the concern is out there about the situation," said Richard Pearson, executive director of the Illinois State Rifle Association.
"Most gun owners at least until recently have been misled by Senator Obama. Though he claims to be an advocate for the Second Amendment, his voting record in the Illinois Senate says otherwise. He voted for a bill that would ban nearly every hunting rifle, shotgun and target rifle owned by Illinois citizens," Mr. Pearson continued.
"His campaign has done a good job burying his take on firearms," he added.
Hal Goldstein, owner of the Armory gun shop in Annapolis, said, "People should be scared."
"Sales are definitely up," he said. "I've got people with Obama stickers on their cars coming in to buy. We're looking at possible a super- Democratic majority [in Congress], and a president who's going to do what's best for the collective. I don't want to sound paranoid, but the prices could go way out of sight."

I think if they push that agenda far enough they will get a civil war...and then we can sort this thing out once and for all.
Buy early and buy often! Every competent American who cares about the Second Amendment should have at least one semi auto rifle. Just my opinion of course.
>All of the laws punish law abiding citizens. Every one of them.
Isn’t it disgusting?

Years ago, I was actually for many of those laws.....finally I wised up!

Really great reading on how to stash firearms and ammo that I think people will need to know.

Well done! Now buy ammo before the price skyrockets.
Good question. I remember reading it. Sometimes I use an external search engine to find articles here. Sometimes, it works. Your question will get a lot of eyeballs.
