SPRINGDALE, Ark. -- On the eve of the inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama, an ad has appeared in local newspapers promoting Tuesday as "National Buy A Gun Day." That message is being echoed in online postings as well. The ad also claims the Obama administration could be the most anti-gun rights team ever elected to the White House...

Never saw the ad, but just got back from the gun store. Bought a gun. lol
Didn’t one of the gun magazines just thank Obama for being the best gun salesman of the year?
Truthfully, I’m surprised that there are any guns left, much less ammunition. A lot of retailers and producers must have just insanely large order backlogs. Wholesalers with empty warehouses.
I gather that even the ATF has run out of forms, so authorized gun dealers to temporarily use photocopies until the government printing office can crank out more.
They dont have to ask people are buying them already. I think it was Hannity who said gun sales are up 48% and Obama was fueling the sales.
Maybe we should write our Senators & Congresscritters, aksing them to enact an annual National Second Amendment Day?
How horrible!
This shouldn’t be just one day a year! EVERY DAY should be ‘Buy a Gun Day’!!!
Same here... Never heard of this ‘ad’, but this afternoon I put a deposit down on a Mossberg 500, placed a ‘wishlist’ order for a Mossberg 930SPX, and put my name on a waiting list for an AR-15. It was only common sense. Wanted to get them for a long time, but the onset of a new regime in DC infested with 2nd Amendment haters has accelerated the purchases. If I had had the $$$ ahead of election day I would’ve done it then (it’ll be more expensive and require a longer wait now), but better late than never...
Bump and thanks again for your help, neverdem.
Also a big welcome to a new FReeper, kibosher. He will prove to be a valuable asset to this forum. Welcome aboard, my FRiend.
Well, I’m kind gunned out. But I DID buy some ammo.
I bought ammo too. And everyone in my family joined the NRA today.

Gunned out?!?!? Like, as in, too many guns? Go back to DU!!!
OK, I'm only kidding. I wouldn't wish that on anyone anyway.
Thanks for the link.
I asked him about ammo, but he said he wasn't in the market for it, and didn't check.
He ended up buying a Hi-Point 9-mm carbine.
Spread the wealth around, y'know.
You're right! I don't know what came over me! I know: it was the irresistible force of Obummer's rhetoric. Yeah, that's it. For a moment there I thought there was something called "enough guns."
Whew! Thanks for bringing me back to my senses!
Yeah! Way to BE!
Paid for a 9mm Glock with laser guide. I live in the Chicago
Burbs so I have to be prepared if thing really start getting bad. The innauguration put hubby over the edge. lol
Finally broke down and made the purchase. Gotta have protection!
Bring up your Balls and load up your cannons for the 21 gun salute.
Thanks for the props panaxanax. Glad to be here. <’}}}}}<
