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!

What part of “the bigger the better” does this idiot not understand? If I’m backed into a corner, I sure don’t want to be holding a .22.
...yep we’re all racist, sexist, homophobic bigots.
Libs are more worried about law abiding citizens carrying guns than Muslim extremists.
Good point.
LOL!
Thanks for posting that! I needed a good laugh.
Seriously, this is one pathetically STUPID SOB. Thousands of gun sales are proof that there is an assassination plot against obama eh? What a rediculous retard. Is he writing for a highschool paper?
I already have plenty of agendas and ammo, but I guess I could use some more . . .
I've seen 5 of those kinds of reports, all national, and NOT ONE said it was "because of a growing fear that the spiraling economy will force desperate people to commit criminal acts."
All 5 reports said it was because of their belief the 2nd Amendment would be seriously curtailed with the election of a Liberal.
Just a warning to you, Stentor, that by providing statistics as to gun crimes you will be considered a racist. ;)
Glad you posted that I was looking.
“The writer should go and interview John Muhammad and see what his agenda was”
Wasn’t he that white guy in the white van?
I was already called Archie Bunker on here by some clown with a paper anus whose handle I forget. I'd ping him if I remembered. Those considerations are "Non Rattus Anus Rodentum".
This idiot has not a clue as to why sales are up. He just wants to throw down the damn race card at bitter whitey. He thinks that people are buying to assassinate? Oh pleeease! That turd wouldn't be worth it, he'll screw up all on his own.
And of course as others have pointed out, the last person to commit a major crime with an AR 15 was John Muhommed
Get a lightweight carbine flat-top. You’ll like it (a lot). :wink:
!bump!
That's because those who purchased them (rightly) believe that the AR will be one of the guns on B-HO's banned list, not because they planned on assassinating anyone. lol...this guy believes thousands of AR buyers have assassination plans? Insanely delusional.
I have seen the exact same thing at my favorite shop. 10 percent is a joke.
Very Good! Yes, please let us know if you get a response :-)
You don’t have to tell me twice!
(No carry handles for me, flat top all the way!)
I’m gonna need to get a job first, though.
