BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new Rasmussen poll reveals that 57 percent of American citizens believe gun sales are up over the past several months because of widespread fears that the government will tighten restrictions on gun ownership.
“The poll results confirm what we’ve been saying,” noted Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. “American citizens are fearful that the Obama administration and a Democrat-controlled Congress will pass new laws to further erode the individual right to own firearms. This concern was further enhanced by yesterday’s ruling in Minnesota that far left anti-gunner Al Franken should be seated as a U.S. Senator representing that state, giving Democrats a 60-member majority.”

Gees, they needed a poll for that, how about looking at gun sales.
The gun and ammo industries are doing great because of Barry and his gang.
Exactly - “Let’s conduct a poll that tells me Barry is the best thing for the gun industry in the last ‘x’ years” Doofuses.
I have the same shoulder rig and I believe the same sidearm (1911A1?)
‘Rasmussen Poll Confirms Public Fears Obama Gun Control Agenda’
“A new Rasmussen poll reveals that 57 percent of American citizens believe gun sales are up over the past several months because of widespread fears that the government will tighten restrictions on gun ownership.”
Did anyone else notice that this headline did not match what the poll asked? The poll didn’t ask them if *they* were afraid, but if they thought the *public* was afraid.
The difference is that they know if they are afraid, but they have only second hand information that the public is afraid.
Remember, without the Second Amendment the others are just words on paper.
Amen, and again, I say, Amen.
The government had a tough time with liquor prohibition and I suspect that gun prohibition would lead to the same results.
One can only hope.
It depends on how hard they try. In some states, guns are de-facto registered, and would be easier to find than bottles of moonshine. On the other hand, they don't very hard or successfully now to get guns out of the hands of felons, as required by existing law.
In fact, I'd bet that any "gun control" would focus on the law-abiding, because its easiest and safest to go after them, while leaving armed criminals effectively alone as government auxiliaries.
Technically I think it’s not completely a 1911A1, because of the flat mainspring housing. But it’s mostly a 1911A1.
