DENVER - Colorado set a single-day record for gun background check requests the day after the Connecticut mass shootings.

Colorado Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Susan Medina said there were more than 4,200 requests to buy guns in Colorado on Saturday. Those gun-purchase requests surpassed the previous record -- 4,028 background checks processed on Black Friday this year.

Just talked to my local gun dealer about a stag arms model 8. still available with a 6-8 week weight. $1145 plus tax. I’ll put half down on Wednesday. I heard the local gun show was completely busier than ever and the gun store can barely keep up with business. Good job Democrats. LOL.

.50s apparently carry a message quite a distance.

I'm not allowed to use one at the local State range.

Holy cow, I'll bet it's a similar story everywhere in the country.

Don't know how long the wait would be if I tried to buy a gun here in California right now. I just bought three of them last month (one of them hasn't been delivered yet) and feel like I could use several more.

But man, the cost is killing me and I don't like to be rushed in these things.

For instance, I think, but aren't 100% certain, I'd like to get a Springfield M1A. Don't know which flavor yet. OTOH, maybe it should be Fulton Armory's M-14 clone instead (if there is such a thing, I think there is).

Normally, it'd take me months to decide, maybe a year, while I studied up on the subject. But the liberal SOBs are definitely rushing me (it feels like it's now or never) and I don't like it one bit -- and neither does my wallet!

Whoever took that pic deserves a lifetime achievement award.

It's better than the Superman TV show special effects.

Plus the "Talent" rocked during the performance.

I live in South Orange County, CA.

I guess it wouldn’t reach Sacramento or D.C.

"I guess it wouldn’t reach Sacramento or D.C."

Should a million be sold, the message would go far beyond the device's immediate range.

It’s one of several. I thought it the best.

The pic is hysterical.

You should always remain true to the energy/vision. Rock ON!
