"I think they're going to really try to crack down on guns and make it harder for people to try to purchase them," said Smith, 32, who taught all five of her children — ages 4 to 10 — to shoot because the family relies on game for food.

"They're scared to death of losing their rights," said David Hancock, manager of Bob Moates, where sales have nearly doubled in the past week and are up 15 percent for the year. On Election Day, salespeople were called in on their day off because of the crowd.

One Georgia gun shop advertised an "Obama sale" on an outdoor sign, but the owner took it down after people complained that the shop appeared to be issuing a call to violence against the country's first black leader.

If only I had enough money to throw around and cash in on how stupid all these fucking marriotts are. So fucking predictable.
It's like Emil said, no better way to steal money than free enterprise.

Well, that's one way of reviving the economy. Fuck with idiot Republican minds enough and you can create unprecedented demand for firearms, tin foil hats, bomb shelters, and canned food.
Time to invest in Smith & Wesson stock

"The one thing that they agree strongly with us on is that it's too easy for dangerous people to get guns in this country," Helmke said. "I guess if you're a dangerous person you might want to run out there and buy some more, but otherwise you should be OK."
Thats the dumbest damn thing I have ever heard.

And the reason you don't have enough of that money is that you are a bleeding heart that keeps waiting for the government to give you said money..........:hat

No one was laughing at these types 2 months ago when the market was about to crash.

Laugh all you want, I'll be one of the idiots buying all the guns I wanted before a Dem controlled government takes effect.
0.357
AR15 (should have bought my cousin's years ago)
0.38
9mm
M4 Carbine (if I can find one from pre-1986)
And yes, I'll be buying them from gun shows.

Gun control is bullshit, and I hope it's empty talk from the Democrats just like abortion has always been for the Republicans.

Great scare-mongering marketing campaign by NRA, gun dealers/mfrs.
Obama supports the 2nd amendment.
I support the 2nd amendment, but with very strict controls on gun sales and gun types.

something like less than 1% of gun homicides are mass homicides.
99% are hand guns. and almost none of those homicides are in self-defense or defense of others.
America is fucking sick and unsickable.

Ordered 2 more AR lowers yesterday and a 9mm AR upper to finish a build. Still browsing today looking for a good deal on a .308

Where do you get that idea? IMO, if it were left to Obama, the government would confiscate all guns.

smart money is buying ammo.

Every time Obama starts on his gun control rants, my husband and brother-in-law buy more ammo. My sister-in-law and I are always bemoaning the fact - those boxes are so d***ed heavy, I can't lift them into the house.
