From the article: "gun owners have taken the president-elect’s statements and other political talk in recent months to mean Obama might seek a nationwide prohibition on concealed-carry licenses and possibly a huge increase in the federal excise tax on guns and ammunition, said Jim Dark, executive director at the Addison-based Texas State Rifle Association."

not only in Texas

My dad and I are heading to a gun show Saturday ... we have all the guns we need, just need more food to feed them .....

[realcleanguy]

I agree with this guy. The Obamanation Nazi brown Shirts are already flexing their power. We must be vigilant and well armed. We cannot let what happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany happen to us.

This article is curious. Not only should we FREEPS be worried about Barack’s gun grabbing tendencies, but Barack is so liberal that if foreign invaders attacked our country he may just go on national TV and say “Don’t perpetrate the circle of violence. Let violence stop with you.”

I’m eyeing an another gun... This time the S&W 442... It’s a hammerless revolver in 38 cal.

I think a lot of fear has been built up by right-wing radio

I haven't heard any of this fear on "right-wing" radio. I just looked at Obama's statements and his record and decided I'd better buy now.

Found out two people I work with bought AR’s in the last two days. So with mine that is three more AR’s in an office of 20. Just need to figure out how to arm the other 17...

I bought a box of .45 ACP last night and looked over an AR-15. Dealer said that ammo costs have rose 20% in two weeks! Of course he could just be talking.

I’m looking at a mini 14 in either 6.8 or 5.56, an S&W M&P in .45 or 9mm, and a Ruger SP 101 in 327 mag. Already picked up a 12 gage for home defense.

Better bitter cling brothers,bitter cling big!

Or perish.

[angelcindy]

My brother -in law owns a gun shop..his phone hasn’t stopped ringing...everyone wants guns n ammo

[Pantera]

“Law enforcement officials and Obama supporters...” -— this is spin, every policeman I know (5 or 6 are close friends) strongly encourage gun ownership.

Just more projection. They don’t have a thought in their heads unless it filters down from the democrat collective.

[shankbear]

The .327 Mag. is so freakin sweet. It is the new pal of my old 1911. I have 2500 brand new .45acp rounds on the way. Not junk ammo...good stuff.

[vetvetdoug]

Cheaper Than Dirt is in Fort Worth.....anyone needing ammo there has the best place ever.

[ChinaThreat]

Just bought about 20 boxes of ammo today. They will begin to “nationalize” in a year or two if they are not checked. I have plenty enough for my sidearm as well as my rifle.

I sincerely hope i never need it.

[JoeThePainter]

I look at Obama Osama and I KNOW he is NOT like us. And he would like nothing better than to take out OUR movement.

I’ve been thinking about moving away from my city.
I’m surrounded by socialists and homosexuals and their supporters.

[Bommer]

Still have the govt knowing you bought a gun with the background check. Best to buy from a newspaper classified ad to leave no trace for Baraks minons to track you down....or maybe, and let them and get some practice in!

[Starboard]

Never owned a gun in my life, but it’s time for a CHANGE. Going shopping for one (maybe two) tomorrow.

[MarkeyD]

Bought an AR-15 last Friday.
