Jack Cafferty: Why are so many Americans worried Obama will try to ban gun sales?

A majority of gun owners think President Obama wants to ban gun sales.

A new Gallup poll shows 55 percent of those who own a gun, 53 percent who have a gun in the household, and 41 percent of all Americans believe he will attempt to ban the sale of guns while he is president.

This concern is greater among Republicans and people living in the South and Midwest than among Democrats or those living on either coast.

It also helps explain the sharp increases in sales of guns and ammunition. There are reports that U.S. bullet-makers are working around the clock and still can't keep up with the demand for ammunition. Shooting ranges and gun dealers say they've never seen such shortages.(continued)

Jack is so in the tank for Dear Leader that he's sprouted gills.

[Anti-Bubba182]

...and he needs fiber. He is cranky as hell.

Cafferty is an idiot. He and Wolf Blitzer were discussing Tom Delay dancing on the 'Dancing With The Stars' tv show and Cafferty said the only place he wanted to see Delay dance was behind bars. When Blitzer reminded him that Delay had never been convicted of a crime Cafferty said, "Oh".

CNN is a joke and Cafferty is the punchline.

Why are so many Americans worried Obama will try to ban gun sales?

Because that is what a communist usurper would do. Duh! Those "government media" people just aren't that bright, are they.

[Doc Savage]

They’re not worried Jack. They just want to make sure they have adequate ammunition to take out morons like you when the shooting starts! By the way asshole, have you DUI hit-and-run any cyclists lately????

[SoldierDad]

Jack is correct. No need to ban guns when there is no ammo available to buy.

[DemforBush]

“The president has said that he believes in the Second Amendment and that “lawful gun owners have nothing to fear.”

Candidate and President Obama has said lots of things, Jack. That’s why we’re worried.

BTW, anyone else get a gander at the funky pic they ran of the gun owner and the rifle?

CNN is a joke and Cafferty is the punchline.

Let me guess...the joke begins with "A news anchor walks into a bar..."

[Pelagius of Asturias]

I don’t pay attention to what The 0 says; it’s uaually a lie. I pay attention to what he does.

[historyrepeatz]

Everything this Tyrant has done (or undone) so far give every indication that banning gun sales is soon on the horizon. Sometimes real Americans “just know”.. Over 1 million guns were sold in the U.S. in the month of August alone, and there’s a reason for that.

[2ndDivisionVet]

What is that, Paul Bunyan’s AR-15?!

[combat_boots]

I take it CNN has resorted to reporting rhetorical questions as news.

[LachlanMinnesota]

CNN is really talk radio: Air Amerika

[STONEWALLS]

...Cafferty is a jerk-off....he was 35 years ago when he was on WHO in Des Moines too...hasn’t progressed one bit.

[LachlanMinnesota]

“Lawful” gun owners have nothing to fear, but we will narrow the class of people who are “lawful.”

[Chattering Class of 58]

Evidently, Jack does not know Obama’s work with the Joyce Foundation does he?

[maggief]

If this was a comedy skit I would request a fact check.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Marxist dictators outlaw the tools of resistance hack ...um, I mean jack.

It’s what they do.

There are reports that U.S. bullet-makers are working around the clock and still can't keep up with the demand for ammunition. Shooting ranges and gun dealers say they've never seen such shortages

That's a "bottleneck," not a "shortage." Stupid writer.
