People are not buying guns because they fear bans.
they are trying to control ammunition.. a gun is useless without it. People are buying guns because people know something stinks and that things just dont feel right.
Drugs are illegal, so are invaders from other countries, and they haven't really slowed any of that down, do they really think they can stop guns?
Earle Stanley Gardner, the author of all the old Perry Mason novels was reputed to have a collection of homemade firearms, some rather sophisticated (not your average zip gun).
They going to start regulating machine tools and metal stock next?
Obama is not going to ban guns.
That what his panel of Czars is for. :)
If Maurice Hinchey votes for a ban, look for an exemption for members of Congress!
Because he’s a Liberal, and all our recent Liberal Presidents have instituted gun bans: Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush...
I believe he will create a situation where guns are confiscated.
These posts are motivated by raw greed. Gun sellers are constantly trying to stir people up to buy guns and ammunition because Obama has made them rich and they want more. I tried to sell almost all of my guns on the secondary market and almost no one is willing to pay what appears to be market price for any of them. Only when I dropped the price a bit on two of them was I able to sell them for UNDER market value. The entire framework of this discussion is a lie and I am sick and tired of it being posted. I mean that directly and honestly.
Of bigger concern, I think Obama will try to ban or at least delay the Nov 2010 elections citing a disease outbreak. I think the current H1N1 scare is mostly a test market to see if he can scare the bejesus out of enough people so as to declare martial law in early November 2010 and delay elections “until the situation stabilizes” - i.e., never.
Which country under which ruler is now further left - Venezuela or the U.S.?
When John Lott and Obama were both on the same faculty in Chicago, Lott introduced himself to Obama. According to Lott, Obama said, “Lott? Your the gun guy, right?”.
Lott said, “Yeah, I guess I am.”
Obama said, “I don’t beleive people should be allowed to own guns”, turned around and walked away.
What else do you need to know?
I disagree. They are floating studies detailing the “heath risks” of gun ownership. Declare guns a “health” hazard and regulate them out of our hands. No act of congress required.
He doesn’t have to ban them. The California economy is so bad right now that a lot of younger gun owners are selling their guns to make make rent or car payments. I see more used guns for sale now and the asking prices are coming down all the time. I have taken advantage of it and picked up some I wanted but it does give me pause. He doesn’t have to ban guns, just tank the economy enough so people have to sell them. The prices dropping will just accelerate the selling.
Lots of them seem to have no problem with the idea that they are guaranteeing obama will be a one-term President. It doesn't seem to bother them that many of them will be voted out the very next time they're up for election. They are pushing has hard and fast for as much as they can.
Given that environment, any and every long-term wet dream of the radical socialists on the left are in play. I would not put it past them. They are pushing hard, maybe even trying to provoke a serious firearms related incident to give themselves an excuse. Heck, they may manufacture one here shortly if no-one obliges them. The state-run media gives them cover on any issue they want, truth be hanged. I think they'll try it, and it may get very, very ugly.
* Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn't have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.
If it walks like a duck, quacks like duck and looks like a duck with huge ears, then by God it’s a duck!
His efforts on Health Care Cuban Style are failing which suggests he's not even that good at 'organizing'.
Do we have to go throught these next three years or could we just 'opt' out somehow?
There is no question in my mind that zero would confiscate every legally-owned firearm in this country tomorrow if he thought he could get away with it.
Thanks neverdem. When guns are outlawed the only people who’ll need ‘em are the people outlawing them.
