The National Rifle Association predicts the election of Barack Obama is going to pose a serious threat to the Second Amendment rights of American citizens.
Numerous reports around the U.S. indicate that citizens have been racing to purchase both guns and ammunition before Obama takes office next year. On Election Day, a Cheyenne, Wyoming, gun store set a one-day sales record -- then broke that record the next day. The Franklin Gun Shop outside Nashville sold more than 70 guns on Election Day. It was the biggest sales day since opening its doors eight years ago.
The day after Obama was elected, the owner of a shop outside Salt Lake City sold nine assault weapons -- and another gun store owner in Fort Worth reported sales of $101,000 in merchandise, shattering its single-day sales record.
NRA spokewoman Rachel Parsons has a theory on the gun run. It is quite apparent, she says, that people are concerned that Obama truly has had a radical record of opposition to the Second Amendment.
"They're concerned about their Second Amendment rights, and they're purchasing firearms...maybe while they still have the chance," she conjectures. "They know that it's very likely that when president-elect Obama gets into the White House, he and those who he has appointed to leadership, who are also anti-gun, may indeed attack the Second Amendment."
During the campaign, the NRA ran advertisements saying Obama "would be the most anti-gun president in American history." And the president-elect's voting record on gun rights, says Parson, backs that up.
"He's supported gun bans, ammunition bans. He's supported a tax increase on guns and ammunition. He has voted against self-defense in the home when he was in the Illinois State Senate," she emphasizes. "Over and over, Barack Obama has voted against the Second Amendment."
The NRA spokeswoman suggests it is likely those votes will follow him into the White House. So she says it will take a grassroots effort by those who support the Constitution to prevent president-elect Obama from destroying Americans' Second Amendment rights.
After they seize all the primers, I'll be glad I have them!
Oh, forgot the 32 pound naval deck cannon, circa 1780
I picked up a sweet little new S&W .357 last week...
Ammo inventory done and I’m sittin’ pretty.
Buying more though.......
Michael Steele, who everyone is slobbering over as the next head of the RNC had this to say about Assault Weapons from the “on the issues” website.
Q: Should people have access to buy assault weapons?
A: Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you’re going hunting? That’s overkill. But I don’t think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that But what’s the point of passing gun laws if we’re not going to enforce them? If you want to talk about gun control, that’s where you need to start. We’ve got 300 gun laws on the books right now. At the end of the day, it’s about how we enforce the law.
I’ve got to buy a .357 pistol. I have a Marlin lever action in .357 that shoots really nice, and I reload for .357
I wish there was a nice automatic pistol choice, but a revolver will do.
Tell me that that is sarcasm... please..?
It’s always struck me as one of the most delicious ironies of the whole anti-gun mentality that the election and/or rise to power of anyone espousing their views acts as an enormous stimulus to gun ownership, NRA membership, and all of the various activities of the pro-gun camp.
This huge shot in the arm to gun ownership and the shooting sports is now going on all over the U.S., and we have President Hussein to “thank” for it.
I have my eye on a Ruger Mini-14 before Jan. 1
It’s his quote from the website “on the issues”, google Michael Steele on the issues and it will be the first thing that comes up. It’s a good site to check where people stand.
The feckless, clueless RNC still doesn’t get it. This guy will have to be fired and replaced if the Republicans are ever to make a come-back from this disastrous election rout. The Second Amendment is not, and never was, about hunting.
Geez, I liked that guy too...
Now I have to put him on my $hitlist.
Someone so clueless on the 2nd Amendment has no business being the head of the party.
Michael Steele = BIG FAT NO!
This pandering frenzy reminds me of the J.C. Watts frenzy to make him our V.P. candidate while he was handing out Obama shirts at a picnic.
***Do you have your Davy Crocketts ready?****
I got stuck with an old Sargent York. Inacurate as hell.
Wow, you actually own a G18?!
Do you have one of the few switches available to private owners, or are you an SOT with a Dealer’s Sample?
Or an LEO?
Whatever...I was an SOT and tried to get a G18, no go whatsoever, not even as a Dealer’s Sample!
Ed
I don’t have any guns. I sold ALL of my guns.
Mine all fell out of my canoe.
:-} I just sent an inquiry about an .223 Carbine I’ve been wanting to treat myself to.
Or your Tick Lickers? ;-)
The Hindus call those epochs "Yugas".
The press is trying to say gun sales are only up 8% nationwide, as though to say no one fears Obama’s Marxist plans. I would expect many shops to show not less than a 25% increase.
