Now that everybody loves us DHS can turn their attention to the real threats.

I'm wondering how the sales information from a rather small transaction got into their hands.

Well, they do say that Obama IS the nation’s #1 Gun Salesman....

I bought a wrought iron sign this weekend that says, I dont call 911 and has a revolver hanging down from it. It has replaced my Beware of Dog sign.
I guess I will be getting my visit soon as well. Weird

This month-old story of dubious reporting was posted here last month, and there is extensive discussion.

I have contacted the reporter, who admitted that the claim is unverified double hearsay.

The unanticipated stimulus plan.

I’m happy with the firearms I have. Good to go. I am however stocking up on all ammo as funds allow.

The customer bought 1,000 rounds a few months ago through a mail order company. Shortly after the purchase, he received a visit from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, whose interest was apparently piqued by a large-scale purchase of that caliber.

1000 rounds of .223 is NOT a "large-scale purchase".

West said a customer of his recently stocked up on .223-caliber rounds, a caliber often used in assault-style weapons. The customer bought 1,000 rounds a few months ago through a mail order company. Shortly after the purchase, he received a visit from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, whose interest was apparently piqued by a large-scale purchase of that caliber.

Oh jeez. You can shoot 1,000 rounds in a day easily. It's 33 loaded magazines full shot downrange, and the ammo would fill about 2 shoeboxes.

If they are sending federal agents out to explore 1,000 round purchases, they have WAY to many marginally-employed feds on the payroll.

If they are so hard up for domestic "right wing extremists" to fulfill Janet's fantasies, some of them might even figure out a way to boost their domestic right wing extremist "business."

"His wife was home. He was at church," West said.

"Traditional" heterosexual marriage. Check.
Church-going Christian. Check.
Gun owner. Check.

I know a "right-wing extremist" when I see one. Burn it down, boys.

Owns guns AND at church?

Waterboard him.

1000 rounds attracts DHS? This one of the more frightening things I have heard from this administration.

It has begun. May God favor the patriots.

Bloat - with CASH (If you can find Ammo in a retail store)

West said his business hasn't seen a big rise in gun sales, but it has seen a rise in people wishing to sell guns to his store for economic reasons. He said one man recently brought in an 80-year-old antique rifle to sell because he needed money. "We've had guys come in with three or four guns to sell," he said.

There A LOT of that going around these days for some odd reason, Ahem.....

Wow! 1,000rnds is nothing! That used to be a fun day out at the range plinking(back when you could shoot all you wanted and not give a thought to ammo prices and scarcity).

[Joe Brower]

"the government is paying attention to such ammunition sales"

I feel safer already.

And now it's no longer "assault weapons", but "assault-style weapons". To better enable future bans, no doubt.

B.S. story fast becoming an urban myth.

IAC, IMHO, if anything is going to happen it would be subsequent to the major gun shows (probably most with at least one or two ATF personnel in attendance). However, I've seen (and experienced) multiple-case buys going out the door with no subsequent problems.

[Kenton]

Back around the time of the election, I went out and got my CCW and bought a Glock27 for carry. I'd seen what happened to guns under Clinton, and I knew there would be a major rush on guns under Obama.

I also bought Smith and Wesson stock in late October @ $1.91 per share. Over the past six months it's increased to $6.70 per share, and shows no sign of stopping. It's incredible, I've never seen anything like it. That's about 350% growth in this market.

Even switchblades are going up in price and getting harder to find.
