“In the worst economy since the Great Depression the firearms industry can’t keep up with orders or expand fast enough.”
I was in a recently opened gun store in Northern California about three weeks ago. You could stir the customers with a stick. My wife ups and buys her first ever handgun, so I decide that it’s time to add to my “collection” and buy one too. They were so busy that we had to wait an hour to get to one of the two computers to electronically fill out the CADOJ paperwork. The store manager said that they were already selling 600 guns a month and had been open for less than two months! Here in CA more than 600,000 guns were purchased in the past year. The store owner also said that every time Obama opens his yap, they have another good day. To those who are decrying what’s happened in CT, NY and CO, I would say wait until next year. Those state legislatures are going to get their collective pee pees whacked by the voters or the courts, or both!
Even if nothing comes up for a vote in the U.S. Congress gun owners are not going to forget. In addition to that I believe that 0bamaCare is going to be an even bigger negative for Dems by then and that's going to animate an even larger number of Americans than gun control has.
It won't matter unless the laws they passed are repealed, otherwise those Democratic losses will just be viewed as "collateral damage" by the Left and in a few years they'll be back in power to further chip away at what's left.
