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 The 2nd Am won’t be repealed but they’ll try their best to circumvent it..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.

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”.

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.

It is amazing to me that most Americans have already forgotten the last time the Democrats were in power: we had federal officers dressed in commando outfits and armed with machineguns raiding the Waco religious compound, attacking Randy Weaver on a "possessing and selling a sawed-off shotgun" charge, and seizing a Cuban kid from his family at gunpoint.

The Democrats are the last people on earth to respect individual freedom or reject police excesses.

They know what most instictively understand: our right to be armed is our basic right as equal members of our own society. We are, in effect, members of our own government.

Those that will disarm us want us to have a status beneath our goverment.

'Heck', the day after Heller came down "Da Mayor", Richie Daley (King - Chi, Duke of Cook, Earl of IL) said flatly he was going to IGNORE the SCOTUS decision and that, and I quote: "it didn't apply to Chicago". His (cough) reason: "Chicago is a city and not a state".

And in between a lot of incoherent blathering plus drool on his chin, he said he was going to, and I quote: "Going to fight SCOTUS in court." Got that. He's going to sue the Supreme Court of the United States.

The guy is insane.

I just saw where Obama has been trying to reassure gun owners and asking people not to “stock up”.He’s getting nervous that his anti-gun statements are coming home to haunt him.It’s kind of like the Nazis saying “those are just disinfecting showers”.
I think any gun owner in their right mind will stock up on ammo because that scumbag Ted Kennedy has already started a movement to make ammo prohibitively expensive.Hopefully he won’t be able to carry out his nefarious plan,but rest assured the minor demons like Schumer,Feinstein,Boxer,and Lautenberg will be busy at work on that.Obama would sign an anti-ammo bill in a New York minute.He hasn’t changed his spots.Holde has to be stopped at the confirmation hearings.I know even some liberal Democrats who are disturbed by his selection.Nobody but the Clintons and their minions think there was any justification to pardon Marc Rich or the FALN.

Recently, it was revealed that prospective Obama administration employees were being asked this invasive question: "Do you or any members of your immediate family own a gun? If so, provide complete ownership and registration information. Has the registration ever lapsed? Please also describe how and by whom it is used and whether it has been the cause of any personal injuries or property damage."

I think I'd just lie. And then if they ever found out about my gun ownership just sue the living crap out of them.
