Gunning for Barack Obama: "Hate Group Map" May Explain Gun Sale Surge (We're all bigots alert)

The New York Times, the New York Daily News, Newsday, U.S.A Today, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, FOX News and a host of other news organizations recently reported that gun sales across the country increased 10 percent after Barack Obama defeated John McCain. Many of the gun shop owners that were interviewed on camera stated they had never seen sales increase to this level in 15 to 20 years.

Those purchasing guns said they were doing so because of a growing fear that the spiraling economy will force desperate people to commit criminal acts. Others bought them because they believe an Obama Administration would move quickly to ban certain guns or attempt to limit their sales in United States. These are legitimate explanations that warrant serious investigation, but I believe there is one more valid explanation for the phenomenal surge that no one is bothering to discuss: the planned assassination of President Barack Obama.

Strangely, what the news agencies failed to report was that although many purchases involved commonly used handguns, the weapons that were being snatched off the shelves in record numbers were high-powered assault rifles, most notably the AR 15! On "The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric", one of the buyers looked right into the camera and said, "A man's got to protect his home and his property." Okay, here's my question. Who does this fool expect to break into his house? Bigfoot? I'm sorry, but that milk smells spoiled and I'm not buying it! Am I the only one that thinks there is something very, very wrong here?

In my honest opinion, anyone that purchases a high-powered, military-linked assault rifle has an agenda. Period!

Could this man find water if he jumped ship?

ummmmmmmmmmmmm.........no.

I suspect otherwise. Seems more like Toms is using increased gun sales as a straw man for an anti-non-black agenda. With that said, Toms writes:
1) "but I believe there is one more valid explanation for the phenomenal surge that no one is bothering to discuss: the planned assassination of President Barack Obama."
2) "Therefore, you can bet gun store owners are not "carding" white supremacists or members of 'The Insurgents"."
IMO, such statements only emanate from the mind of a demented, tinfoil hat nutter.

"Opinions" are like a-holes; everyone has 'em, and most of 'em stink.

Oh, good grief! This guy is surely crazy, does he think all the gun buyers will take out after his savior? Lunacy, sheer lunacy....and a desire to prolong and defend his victim status may have a bit to do with it. I am so very tired of it.

[pepperdog]

You know that is a valid observation. I do believe the One has more to fear from crazed admirers than the supposed racists, remember how the guy that shot John Lenin loved him so much? And there are other examples altho I can't remember them right now. Cult figures need to fear their followers, it is apparent those folks are already crazy.

[smokingfrog]

He doesn't provide any facts to show that gun sales are higher in states with more "hate groups."

Doesn't matter if you live in Vermont or California. People are legitimately concerned about their 2nd amendment rights being severely restricted in the future.

Urban legends.

[odin2008]

I agree. My favorite gun shop had to hire 2 more clerks to handle the demand. The owner said that sales are through the roof and ammo is flying out the door. I just bought another Moseberg 500 and 2 Ak47s since November 4.

Why are the liberals hoping Obama gets assassinated? They are the only ones I hear talking about it.

[Sharrukin]

Because it would re-confirm their world-view! The ‘racist’ nation elected a black man to the White House. It’s hard to feel picked on and abused if you hold the highest office in the land.

[WackySam]

Wait... the AR-15 is HIGH-POWER? How... odd, these silly little men.

Yes, the AR-15 is considered a "high power rifle"

[odin2008]

Let's not forget this act of compassion.

[Snurple]

high-powered assault rifles, most notably the AR 15

LMAO! Nah, now this is a high powered rifle....

“Who does this fool expect to break into his house?”

Wal*Mart mobs?

Toms probably wants people to think he's crazy. He's certainly not. Besides being overtly racist, some of his statements give the impression he's trying to drum up support for an all-too-familiar leftist movement from nearly a century ago. A leftist movement that turns federal government into a all-powerful, quasi-religious institution with a “spiritual” leader. A leftist movement that grows by incrementally stripping away liberties and rights by way of lies, damned lies, and mass ignorance.

Click on the link, skim the article. Wait... don't bother. This guy isn't really a writer, I don't have a clue who he is. The depth of his thought rivals the typical high school junior, and what the hell is 'Associated Content' anyway?

This "The rednecks are gunnin' for barack" crap is really starting to torque my jaws. Seriously. One of the most odious aspects of the clinton years was the fixation on 'clinton-haters' and their 'dangerous attitudes'. It's coming back, the propaganda of this stupid 'article' is evidence of that.
