Give it time pal. It’s coming.

Obama is a bit busy right now with bankrupting us getting higher taxes, apologising to the world, giving our sovereignty to the UN, and destroying the Catholic Church. Give him time , he will get around to guns.

Key word in the title: YET. Plenty of time on the clock and willing legislative Obamatrons to wreak significant havoc, IMO.

So few days and so many American things to destroy: financial infrastructure, publically traded companies, small business, 2nd amendment, 1st amendment, the whole constitution, Israel, the Catholic Church, the list goes on.

Maybe it's time to put a "...well regulated militia" together.

Like the legal and medical professions and congress, it'll be self-regulated, of course.

They are too busy laying the groundwork before actually taking them away. Plus they want a Columbine style “crisis” to use.

This guy barely sees the forest for the grass in front of the trees.

That claim and similar statements sparked a buying spree on guns and ammunition immediately following the election>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

This is not factually true. The run on guns and ammo started in the summer of 2008, and there is more than one dynamic driving the boom in the guns and ammo business.

1) Yes partially driven by fear that some kinds of guns may be banned,

2) There is fear that there will be a rise in crime as our cities and towns run out of money for law enforcement pay and equippage.

3) There is also a fear of civil disorder as a result of government imposed martial law to quell riots related to the recession or a depression.

4) People in rural areas realize they might have to hunt to eat.

5) Some people believe that we will have to fight our own government which will seek to confiscate wealth and property of its citizens to pay for the huge government spending boondoggle and "redistribution."

6) Congressional representatives have not followed the will of the people on security and spending issues.We may have to take back our federal government through force or the threat of force.THe people know this as a matter of fact.

The demand for guns and ammo will remain strong as long as the nationalist socialist government of Obama is in control of the White House and Congress.It has only a little to do with fear that guns will be banned. America is arming itself to the teeth, as well it should.

Thus article seeks to define a myth that gun sales are only driven by fear of a ban. Nothing could be further from the truth.

This is why America is arming itself, fear that our liberty will be taken.We will fight to prevent that.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

ON LIBERTY

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first, a right to life; secondly, to liberty; thirdly to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can.

The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.

Samuel Adams

Obama’s picks for Supreme Court justices and other judicial appointments may have a great deal of influence on Second Amendment rights in the future.

There is the problem.

Remember the Heller case was decided by only 5 to 4.

Taking control of the health care industry is much higher on Obama’s To Do List right now than restricting gun ownership. However, based on his previously demonstrated acquiescence to almost any left wing pressure group, it’s only a matter of time.

0bama just hasn’t had time to tackle the firearms ‘issue’, yet. He’ll get to it. Right after the country is bankrupt, the future is fully mortgaged, socialism is fully enabled, and SanFranNan has proven that the CIA lied to her.

It’s comin’...

Could be a helluva fight; but, it’s comin’

It’s time to take back the country.

The politicians are scared of the people who take their right to be armed seriously. We need to keep that meme going.

There have been a number of "skirmishes" already with Dems and the Anti-Gun zealots putting out a lot of preemptive Anti-2A Gun stories such as the U.S. to Mexico "gun running" (and now the Jamaica gun running), the attempts at throwing a lot of "proposed" Anti-Second Amendment legislation out there to "feel out" how much the populace would be willing to accept... "Gun Rights Activists" have just been on the ball and nipping a lot of his crap in the bud by getting the word out.

All major national and state gun rights groups membership numbers have been exploding, gun and ammo sales off the scale even after nine months, concealed and "Open Carry" permits are off the scale with many citizens that have never even owned a gun, buying... and buying a lot.

Believe me, the people in power are watching this and it has them on their toes, Should they push to hard, their entire house of cards will collapse.

So let's keep the pressure on...

Gun Owners of America (GOA)

National Rifle Association (NRA)

Second Amendment Foundation (SAF)

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO)

Alarm and Muster – The document that started a movement.

Alarm and Muster – The Modern Day Call Tree for Emergency Preparation.

And your State/Local Gun Rights Group.

During last year’s presidential campaign, gun-owners’ groups like the National Rifle Association said Barack Obama, if he were elected, would be the most anti-gun president in the history of the United States. That claim and similar statements sparked a buying spree on guns and ammunition immediately following the election, which continued well into this year.

It is Obama's statements not others that have created the run on ammo and guns.

We need to stop them every step of the way . They will obviously never stop trying. One way or another they intend that only criminals have guns.

Some of those congress critters should be learning new respect for their voters, it would seem. I would think that some of them should be afraid to return to their home states, but then if those states tolerate people like that, then we should be ever vigilant on those areas.

First: READ the Heller decision, the definition of what “ARMS” is. This decision has major changes, in line with the UN Convention on Light Weapons, which Obama sponsored as part of his Global Poverty package.

2ND: The International Criminal Court Treaty is being mentioned for passage.

McCarthy of NY now talking about including the “No Fly list” in firearm purchase denials. Any one wonder if the “right wing extremist veterans” in the DHS report might be included?

The groundwork has already been laid to ban and seize ALL
MILITARY MANUFACTURE, copies of, designs derived from (MAUSER?) of any age.

Even match lock muskets from the 1600’s will fit this definition.

Look at Britain and Australia for the desired and coming results.

First.... “we only want you to register them” (California has a record here....”

Next... We’ll come get them.

The crisis will be food supply. Walmart will be the supply point, for the only (federal) distribution, and be sure to bring your guns...

That’s when you will learn all? firearms purchased since 1968 are already in the Federal data base.

Open pollinated seed is getting scarce, in certain desirable varieties. Some corn from a major national seller is now $6.99 PER OUNCE.

Baby pigs are unavailable, and baby chickens scarce.

Ritter vetoed the no background check for carry-permittees bill. Colorado's Governor Ritter is a major anti-gunner. As Denver DA, he consistently opposed the state carry law.

the Obama Era could yet prove to be devastating to gun rights. But, it hasn’t started out that way.

Maybe that's because the rhetoric - and buying patterns - of his opponents on the issue are so intense that it's all he can do to merely maintain the status quo. Seriously: when both the Congress and President are hard-core leftists with no viable opposition, and they actively oppose merely considering anti-RKBA legislation, the lack of movement on the issue isn't merely a matter of distraction.
