“President-elect Barack Obama has said he plans on keeping Americans’ Second Amendment rights as they are. “

Really? Someone should check out change.gov.

He wants them all, people.

even if something were to happen, it would take 6-8 months before anything was introduced."

BULLSHIITE.

The anti-gun demonRATS have loads of anti-gun bills waiting in the wings - ready to go on DAY ONE. President-elect Barack Obama has said he plans on keeping Americans' Second Amendment rights as they are.

More BULLSHIITE.

Nightline just opened with a story on the rise in gun sales, with lots of interviews of people who are concerned about Obama, pointing to his record and not his words on the subject.

I turned to DH and said, “Do you think they would have run this story BEFORE the election?”

From the article: “President-elect Barack Obama has said he plans on keeping Americans’ Second Amendment rights as they are.”

Um, Obama doesn't get to decide what the Second Amendment says. We can all read it for ourselves.

Oh, the liberals still want our guns. Have no doubt of that! But they learned they have to be more surreptitious. The new, covert liberal war against guns involves prohibitive taxes on ammunition, tedious and/or expensive licensing processes, bans on certain types of "assault" weapons, lawsuits against manufacturers, etc. Liberal support for the Second Amendment means you can still have a gun if you're willing to pay an exorbitant price for an underpowered weapon and undergo the necessary gun safety and licensing requirements.

This isn't quite what he said. I believe he's on record supporting a new AWB, closure of the gunshow loophole and implementation of a host of reasonable restrictions, all of which he believes can be done while not running afoul of the 2A.

...looks like a few people are trying to scare the Democrats into banning some firearms, too.

I think I read the background check in Colorado normally takes about 5 minutes. It was taking about 20-30 minutes on the gun purchases I made a few weeks ago. I tried to buy a .22 rifle at Walmart the day after the election, and they said the wait was 2.5 hours. I phoned the next day to see how long it was taking, and the clerk said he had a background check still going at 110 minutes. Maybe I’ll have them start the check and go catch a movie or something.

He's on the record as saying that he believes in "restricting" rights....all except abortion that is.

Gun Sales soar ...

Well, at least we found one liddle corner of the Obama economy that is surging instead of tanking.
