I think those millions of Americans buying guns & ammo since the election know what they're doing.

Thanks 2nd Div, I saw the idiocy of this as well...

“American gun owners have good reason to doubt the sincerity of liberal Democrats now in control of Congress”

American gun ownerers with half a brain needed no reason to expect anything diffrent from our current and prospective Exec gov.

I ended a long friendship over this recent election. He voted for Obama out of animus for McCain. Incredibly, he was a person I regularly went shooting with. Another proof that the difference between ignorance and stupidity, is that ignorance is finite.

Yes they do. Gun owners are smart because they have the IQ to at least know that a peace sign doesn’t work against an armed robber or rapist. The 2nd Am won’t be repealed but they’ll try their best to circumvent it..

American Ignorance elected ignorance. Only the bad guys will have guns and the honest folk will be at their mercy. It’s very possible that another American revolution in on the horizon. Pray it not be so, but think I’ll go and buy a gun.

"Imperial arrogance" is the perfect term for these people.
The constitution and bill of rights means nothing to them.

It's unbelievable that a hunter, target shooter, plinker, collector, or any other person even remotely affiliated with firearms cast a vote for Barack Hussein Obama.

This brings us around to Mayor Greg Nickels of Seattle. He has promised to ban even legally-carried guns from city--make that public--property, by executive order. Nearly 250,000 Washington State residents are licensed to carry concealed handguns, and it is also legal in the Evergreen State to carry handguns openly, without a license.

Nickels was advised by the state attorney general that he lacks the authority under Washington's model pre-emption law to enact a gun ban, but he has vowed to do it anyway.

Gun owners see this as imperial arrogance, and suspect that if Nickels can ignore his own state's preemption statute, then Congress and a Democratic president might just presume to ignore the Constitution.

Wow. Stunning, but predictable for these arrogant liberals that have no respect for the law.

Went to the Crossroads of the West Gunshow in Phoenix today. Customers were hauling away case upon case of ammo. There were thousands of people there. Never seen anything like it. This corner of creation is heavily armed. I am serious when I say that there may be some danger of civil war.

Ditto on that!!! My brother & I (along with his kids & my son) used to deer hunt together in northern Wisc. However in this past election he incredibly & stupidly all of a sudden declared his hatred for Bush, and that Obama had a "good economic policy" which my idiot brother could not even articulate one thing to prove this. I sent my idiot brother several hard hitting articles pointing out Obama's shady/communist/anti-American connections, his complete lack of experience or qualifications, his pro-death & pro-abortion positions and most of all his anti-gun legislative history along with the NRA articles that pointed out Obama's anti gun positions, plus more. My idiot brother then angrily sent me a note, telling me not to send any more "radical extremist" articles that exposed Obama. What a frickin gullible idiot is what I told my brother. Needless to say, after 5 weeks since the election, we are not talking with each other. I told my sister, that I hated that communist Obama with a passion, and I will not excuse my brother's stupidity & ignorance for voting for this socialist-marxist-commie SOB bastard!!! This is CW 2, brother against brother, only this time it is American patriots & lovers of freedom, liberty & sovereignty versus socialist-marxist-commie liberals & lefties.

I bought a bunch of ammo at the gun show. The dealer told me if I can carry it out it’s not enough.

Americans who voted for Hussein said they wanted “change”. Well, change is what they’re going to get. The change is whatever was threatened will happen.
George Bush’s presidency will be remembered as the “good old days in the USA”.

You were wise in your decision.

I do not voluntarily spend any of my time with obamatrons, except for the unfortunate, upcoming visit with my mother during Christmas.

They are all fools of the lowest caliber, and make the Jonestown people look like descendents of Albert Einstein.

I spoke with a dealer who told me that on Friday, when the show began, his 10 by 12 foot booth was piled five feet high on three sides with assorted kinds of ammo. When we talked on Sunday, all he had left was a few half cases on his table.

rcrngroup, that narrative about your brother is very troubling, especially because I experienced nearly the same events with my bro-in-law (sister's husband) just before Thanksgiving this year.

The reason it bothers me so much is because people who are otherwise *sane & normal* are being tricked by the vile Alinsky Methods that Barack Hussein Obama utilizes. Good luck to both of us.

A Liberal would tell you that the Bill of Rights only applies to State Governments (1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment, 3rd Amendment,.....).

So would an evil person. So would an insane person. So would a hopelessly stupid person.

An update on an old favorite, inspired by Representative John Murtha and other lib-fascists:

First they came for the racists....
but I was not a racist, so I did not speak out.

Then they came for the rednecks....
but I was not a redneck, so I did not speak out.

Then they came for the Bible-thumpers....
but I was not a Bible-thumper, so I did not speak out.

Then they came for the gun-owners.....
and that’s when I shot them.

“...I am serious when I say that there may be some danger of civil war.”

Civil War would not be the correct term. Maybe an massive insurgency war here in the US if the gov’t goes on a anti-2nd jihad.

They will use National Guard troops to enforce any new ban/confiscation/registration laws that people will try to ignore (that is NG troops from different states coming to your state so there will not be sympathy from your home state NG members). NG units will have no difficulty and no sympathy, taking out American families and towns if necessary. They will do as ordered.
