President Obama has been in office less than a month, but that hasn't stopped many West Michigan firearms dealers from referring to him as "gun salesman of the the year."

On gun control, Obama will make the rest of the nation just like CA.

If he gets his way nationally, there will be no more private party face to face sales (ala gunshow loophole) just like CA. National assault weapons ban, just like CA. Handgun registration, just like CA. I could go on, but you should get my drift.

“That sorry POS does not deserve to be called President.”
I agree! Call him present obama ( President without ID).
Because that is also how he voted most often, it double fits!

In Eaton County over Thanksgiving I had to stand in LINE to get a CCW ap. They said they have been busy since the election. Wonder why? LOL

The media wants us to believe the rush to buy guns is from fear of stricter gun control. If that was so, knowing people tend to procrastinate, I don’t think there would be a rush until a bill was introduced. I think more people are afraid of the direction this country is headed are preparing to defend themselves. And the rush shows confidence is not very high.

If he makes an open grab for the guns there will be a revolt.

Then all you have to do is find your local gang memeber and make him your salesperson. Don’t talk to anyone else.

My wife, who has never had much interest in firearms, asked me if we should buy some more. There are three weapons I'd like to have, but have never had any need for. A 30.30 saddle gun, a 4" .357 revolver and a pump 12 gauge. Except for the 12 gauge, I have other weapons that fulfill the same functions. It surprised me, though, that she would mention it.
I don't hunt, so the only reason I have them is for either self defense or target practice.

Man after my own heart. Obama isn’t POTUS he’s POS. I’ve already got the guns I’m just stacking up on the ammo.

Every time someone says President Obama I about puke. I had that reaction just a few minutes ago. Fox has promo about The One's first press conference since occupying the oval office. They said "President Obama" and I said "urp" and swallowed hard.

Well, I’ve given my husband permission to purchase whatever firearms he wants and together we made a list of our needs. Today he’s taking the state CCW class, with my blessing. I think he is grateful to God every day that Obama was elected and he now gets to live out his gun fantasies. LOL
