I hope that those who have made the decision to purchase firearms in light of this tragedy take the care and responsibilty neccessary to prevent other needless tragedies. In light of the terrible attack on our Country, please review your comments before posting them, exercise restraint and pray. Keep safe, fly the Flag and KABA.

"Nobody's freaking out," Buckwald said in Daytona Beach while selling 500 rounds of ammunition. "It's more a 'What if everything breaks down?' "

I think this is calm, thinking citizens whose eyes have been OPENED. I am not too worried about them going crazy and shooting their neighbors.

KBoom.

"At the opposite end of the counter, Syed Hassab Qadri, 23, a day trader who lives in Maitland, was buying a handgun.

"I had been planning for a couple of weeks to get a gun," Qadri said. "But because of today's events, I decided not to wait."

I think Mr. Quadri was outfitting for a differerent reason.

My husband ran out to Wal-Mart last night to get some supplies for cleaning his somewhat neglected gun. He reported that Wal-Mart had been ordered to stop selling guns but he got what he needed.

In the parking lot he found flyers reading: "Democrats . . . Still think we should cut the military budget?"

Thank God.

Self defense is the primary purpose of owning a weapon. If the man is not part of the terrorist faction then he is doing the correct thing.

"He reported that Wal-Mart had been ordered to stop selling guns but he got what he needed. "

KMart stopped selling guns yesterday, nationwide.

Walmart and KMart wanted to make sure we were defenseless. I'll remember that. But it was good because the local gun shops got the business.

"In the parking lot he found flyers reading: "Democrats . . . Still think we should cut the military budget?"

It should have read: War mongerers, still think we should gleefully bomb people all over the world, just because we can?

This is what the second ammendment is all about.

He reported that Wal-Mart had been ordered to stop selling guns but he got what he needed.

Ordered by whom? Govt or Corp Headquarters? And was this just for the day, or permanent?

[pepperdog]

Were you born that dumb or did you have to learn it from someone?

[labusiness]

Being in L.A., you know we are the next target- it is not over. We are armed today as yesterday and the shotgun is loaded and safely stored in the house. We learned from the riots that 911 doesn't always help.

Make a statement, fly your flags and TIE A BLACK BOW AROUND THE TREE IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE. You can pick up a black plastic tablecloth for the bow (they are everywhere due to Halloween). We have three on our street and they are getting touching responses.

The reported reasoning was that they didn't want to be responsible for a wave of armed attacks on Arab-Americans. After 8 years of Clinton race baiting, it could easily have gone that way yesterday. Thank G*D we're a stronger country than that.

F*ck you!

More like "What if the government uses this tragedy as an excuse for more gun control."

I've already got MY flags -- And I'm going to go hang mine out again to show my support for our fine men and women in the 'Defcon Delta' American Military Forces!
