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!

I have a Winchester ‘66 Centennial that looks like the rifle on the right.
It’s gold-plated and far too beautiful to shoot...:)
After they get the "assault weapons", or at the same time in one big gulp, they'll go after "sniper rifles". Meaning anything bigger than a .22 rimfire with a scope.
Wow. The Left is bonkers.
Same thing happened, although a lessor scale, when the Clinton "dual Presidency" was elected. They hid their gun grabbing agenda a bit better than The One, who has it right on his "change.gov" transition site. It got just about this bad in the run up to the assault weapons ban. The next such ban will be more comprehensive, applying "lessons learned" during the first one. Oh, and this one will be permanent.
Are they counting Wal*Mart stampedes?
Not a slip, a reference to and quote of that great 20th century philosopher, Bugs Bunny. Kid you not.
Funny, no mention of the Cartel wars with military combat equipment being used on the border protecting drug routes...
No mention of Detroit, Chicago, Oakland or DC gun murders
Yes, those wacky rednecks, they pay bills, hunt & fish, and keep their pants up with belts.
The maggot Liberals are just itching to snatch guns.
I’d be willing to bet that the gun/ammo sales increase has been 100% or more in some stores. The depletion factor has been huge!
Racist
This guy is a fool.
This obamnation citizen has never set his cursor on a hate groups website and never tracked anyone other than Joe the Plumber and Sarah's Yahoo email.
Here's a racist hate group : 
AR-15s are gone but Carcanos are still plentiful. Guess it must be something else driving the demand.

You were a lot nicer than I would have been!

Seems to have benefited from affirmative action. How else to explain how stupid he is?
Some of the wacky rednecks around here wear overalls. I would trust most of them with my life. I wouldn’t trust this idiot racist writer with my dog.
Only by tools who give themselves nicknames like "the G-man".
Real world: "intermediate power"
Don’t comment on his page. He added a comment every time someone does, it’s money in his bank.
That’s the reason he created this hateful, racebaiting article.
I know the Myersville area well; occassional stops at the rest stop, mostly passing it. We usually stopped at the Myersville McD’s going past that area. Shocked me to find out then that that rest stop was where those jerks were caught.
