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.

Oh, crap, Steele really said that???
Well, screw it, then. I’m not helping the RNC out if they elect this bozo.

and ya’ll better start picking out a good burial place.
Any recommendations? National park land?

So many well intentioned FReepers ready to jump on the pander-fest.
Michael Steele is a moderate, a RINO, why all the excitement? Hmmm.

I threw all of mine out of my Warthog (while on auto-pilot, of course.)

I’m not sure what your problem is with what he said. He’s always been about enforcement first.
A lot more resent your arrogance, Obama Fan.
Please let me know if the gun is actually in stock, as I’ve seen quite a few dealers on gunbroker.com and gunsamerica.com pulling their listings for semi-automatic carbines and relisting them for higher prices. It seems like they are in quite short supply at the moment.
Gary’s an Obama fan too?
He seems to think that guns are for hobby use. You cant call yourself truly pro-gun (or understand the constitution) with this limited view.
>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.
Two words: ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.
Anyone that wants to enforce gun control laws needs a head evacuation.
Gun control is tyranny, and tyrants need termination. No exceptions
It would be a good idea for the well-heeled to maintain an ammunition “library.” A couple of boxes each of various unusual calibers, not to feed a piece one owns, but just as items which may be useful for barter in the future.
No, you’re the only one here that I know of.
You are a liar.

Yes! So YES!! {The only problem is that of Logistics.}
My problem is when someone says “You don’t need assault weapons for hunting” it means they don’t believe the 2nd Amendment is for defense, and it means they will vote to ban semi-auto weapons.
An RNC head that only wants Americans to own bolt-action rifles, break-open shotguns and 6-shot revolvers isn’t worth supporting, and that’s what they’re all gunning for, to ban semi-auto shotguns, pistols and rifles.
Well, Steele wants to ban ‘em, too...and I will not support that.

True; very true.
Though, it may also be well worth it to investigate both reloading and bullet ‘forging’. (Casting? I don’t know the technical term.)
That may be even better because you could then make the rounds semi-independently. (There’s still the brass and the primers to deal with.)
$38 will get you a 6 place bullet mold.
Stock up on primers, and powder, buy commercial rounds at first,shoot like hell, and pick up your brass.
