Obama and Pelosi did not mislead these voters. Obama said many times verbally and in print that he would persue a new AWB. This was stated on his pre and post election web sites. This was also printed as one of the goals of the Dem party platform.
I am still waiting for them to find their first one!
This talk of banning weapons does as much for the gun industry as the attacks on Rush did for him. And they are starting to figure it out, though I cannot believe they didn’t already know. Gawd they must be dumb (or smart in a way we haven’t figured out).
In 1994 out of concern for losing our gun rights I bought an SKS for $105 and also 1,000 rounds. I shot about twenty and still have the rest. I’m not really into guns.
A lot of the local gun shops which, at the time, were holes in the wall, were able to upgrade substantially. Anybody remember Wades gun shop in Bellevue (where this article is from)? It was a little dumpy place on NE 8th. Now it is a huge place on Bell Red road and they have a full indoor firing range by Factoria.
Meanwhile, thanks to current events I finally got a home defense shotgun just this week.
Fast forward to 2009. I went to a local pawn shop after work last night to get some movies ($3 used dvd’s) and their gun department was a free-for-all. There was a guy next to me (the movies were in the barrier between the rest of the store and the gun area) on his cell phone. When he got off the phones I asked him why the heck are there so many people here? He said, and I kid you not, “Obamamania. I just spent an hour in another store waiting to get ammo. I have to get some mere here.”
It was almost like that scene in Red Dawn where the kids are getting stuff from the guys sporting goods store (after escaping the town), except a LOT more people, more orderly, and people were paying. But it was a similar atmosphere/mood.
Spooky.
This is going to end very badly.
Chairman Patrick J. Leahy, (D-Vermont) 'inferred' that he owns these so-called assault weapons that were previously banned and shoots them on his property. He pointedly asked Holder if he would in any way attempt to ban Leahy's guns, or interfere with Vermont's *liberal* gun laws.. Holder said NO.
We now know that was a LIE.
As such, Holder should resign or be fired as US AG asap!
Bob Barr? loony libertarian candidate Barr? oh that’s going to help....NOT!
They don’t have a mandate.
