Very strong chance within the first 6 months , so they can get it out of the way and hope that the public forgets by the time 2010 rolls around .

The first thing B.O. is going to do is use executive orders to ban all imported firearms related products .

He then asked why I was buying hollow points, and I again told him “None of your business!”

I would give absurd answers, like “because I’m bored” or “I don’t know.” It’s none of their business, but I would handle with humor.

"I hate Mondays" probably not on the recommended list

I would ask him whether they ask buyers of knives the same questions.

“What chance does a renewed AWB have of being passed?”

100% by end of April 2009.

If I had the money I’d be buying a couple of dozen myself.

It will be interesting to watch when they try to get the guns out of the south side of Chicago, Detroit, Philly, Washington DC and East LA.

The far left, whackos, foolish, etc. voted with their wallets on Tuesday.

This is just regular Americans voting with their wallets, post-election.

Along with "I'm on Prozac and I just lost my job at the Post Office!"

Those are the guns they never go after for some reason.

“Anyone who owns guns and voted for Obama needs thei head examined.”

Start with Cooper Firearms - Supported Obama. They in turn should be drummed quickly out of business. They claim it was only “Dan Cooper” president and CEO. When the head of a firm supports Obammo-Grabber - you know its a systemic stupidity problem in the firm.

The CEO resigned.

I’m not going to be a party to drumming a gun manufacturer out of business.

The ammunition manufacturers should stop taking ammo orders from the police and concentrate on the public.

Sorry, Chicago Police, we’re out of ammo. We sold everything to the gunshops in Texas, Wyoming and Montana. [click].

What chance does a renewed AWB have of being passed?

100 of the Democrat caucus is now Blue Dog Democrats. This was part of Rahm Emanuel's plan to recruit candidiates who were pro-gun and pro-life to defeat Republicans in 2006 and 2008. The problem for them now comes with how to pass the extreme pro-abortions and anti-gun legislation advocated by their President-Elect.

"Gun sales are up as much as 700% in some areas."

They are every year just before Christmas. Amazing they didn't say gun sales were up from "fear" of a Bush government when he won. This mostly fabrication, with a few comments speculating such fears to make the stories seem legit.

There is no “run on guns”. But thatnks to hysterical, race-baiting articles like this, there may well be one after all.

I mean really. Think about it. why would gun owners be rushing out to buy more guns?

Most are already have gun cabinets bursting with their collections. I certainly don’t need to buy more guns, and most of us have already stocked up on bullets primers and powder from the last scare of a shortage of these items.

Don’t forget, a muzzle loader is a great way to deliver 300 grains.

In a cannon maybe. 70 to 100 max for a .50 cal muzzle loading rifle.
