Surprise: Gun sales through the roof since election
hotair.com ^ | November 12, 2008 | Allahpundit

The LA Times piece is even more vivid than the clip. What’s the problem? Can’t a guy flip-flop egregiously on a watershed Second Amendment case in the middle of a campaign without people questioning whether he’s serious about gun rights?

At this rate, The One might end up being the best friend the NRA ever had. Exit question: Will the Rahm Emanuel Civil Defense Corps be lending a hand in gun “registration” enforcement, or will we be leaving that to the pros?

I hope that the people who are buying these guns register to vote.

A better investment might be lathes and milling machines.

Happens every time.

I just got my XD45 compact. Nice peice.

Next I have to go renew my CCL a year early to get the lifetime permit.

BTW - Has anyone noticed the price of ammo these days? I just about keeled over yesterday when I saw the price of .38 target ammo. $50/50 rounds. It’s $1/round. .357 was off the chart too. .45ACP - High but not as bad.

I have plenty of guns and ammo. I need more high-capacity mags for my semi-autos. I bought a couple right before Clinton, and that paid off.

Usually no one can hit the side of a barn with one. What kind of groups are you getting with it.

One of those 3-in-1 machines would fit nice in the basement. They take ‘em away, we just make more.

Try AmmoMan.com. My guess is the Russians will be our friends and will rearm us. The Wolf ammo is still pretty cheap.

The Ranch Rifle is supposed to be much more accurate.

Yesterday, the first time I shot it (Tues), from 50 yards, it was low and right, but they were all in a nice grouping, all within the entire quadrant and pretty close. I was standing up

Today I went from 15 yard, standing, sitting, and propped up, and I got the same thing, all right and low, most in the black area.

From 100 yards, 30 shots, 23 were all on the right side of the target, high and low, and 7 missed completely.

This is my first time rifle shooting in about 15 years.

I would suggest Gold and a one way ticket to another country, maybe New Zealand.

Whosoever comes for my guns will get them all.

Ammo first and at a lot faster rate than they were banking on.

Buy plenty of ammo. The guns sales may be restricted first. but they will attempt to outlaw sales and possession of banned ammo for banned guns. Reloaders and brass are going through the roof also.

I once clung bitterly to my gun, and it got wedged under my fingernail.

The liars at MSNBC referred to certain firearms as “assault weapons”.

They are NOT!!!

An “assault weapon” requires a Federal Firearms license to purchase. None of those shown were “assault weapons”.

As note in a story attributed to Lincoln:
How many legs does a cow have?
Answer: Four
Now, if we call the cow’s tail a leg how many legs does the cow have?
NO! It doesn’t now have 5 legs!!!
Just because you call a tail a leg doesn’t make it one!!!!!

ObamaNuts are buying guns too. I figure they're doing it to protect themselves against the Patriots.
