Must be another reason for the increse in entrepanurers. Lots of new gun shops starting up, creating those new jobs Obama is always talking about. Ammunition sales going up, more new companies and more new jobs. Gotta love it.

The “people” are getting ready!!!!!

Yep. 100,000,000 gun owners makes for one hell of an army.

Get your ammo now and buy guns with no paper trail ‘cause the day of reckoning is coming real soon.
