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."

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.

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

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.

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!

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

‘Law enforcement officials and Obama supporters say fears about unprovoked violence against Americans, from outside and within, are overblown. And they definitely see no legitimate need for people to rush out and buy weapons.”

“they difinitly see no legitimate need”

enough said

Get 'em while you can-- from my files:

Sitting in committee, just waiting for The One:

H.R. 1022: Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act of 2007

On Concerns Over Gun Control, Gun Sales Are Up

From "Change.gov", the official transition website. Agenda tab and then select "urban policy" and go down to "Crime Control".

Address Gun Violence in Cities:
As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn't have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.

There will be no one left to protect you
Barack Obama wants to institute a Civilian National Security Force, a vast militia not unlike Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, a personal army. He knows he would need such a force to protect him and to enforce his will on Americans. Americans will have not seen such arbitrary power used against them since the days of the Civil War when Lincoln put the Constitution in the bottom drawer of his desk and set about arresting anyone who opposed his policies...

VIDEO of Obama calling for a Secret Police Force: CIVILIAN NATIONAL SECURITY FORCE??

QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT civilian national security force.

“Just as powerful, just as strong, and just as well funded.” So the astute observer and deep thinker might reflect for a minute and be compelled to pose several questions (although the MSM won’t)...
