A local sporting goods store said gun sales have jumped exceptionally since President Barack Obama was elected and have not slowed since.
Sporting Goods Discounters in Cambria County is advertising that it wants to buy used guns because workers said they can't keep them in stock.
All types of firearms from small handguns to shotguns are selling quickly, and workers attribute that to a new administration.
Workers said gun owners look at Obama's past voting history on guns and fear he will place higher taxes or even place a ban on guns.

Local gun shows have them.....alot of them.
Head there if you need any.
Oh, people are betting on it. Compliance on the other hand .... that's a whole other kettle of fish entirely.
I’ve had some P-Mags on order since election day. Still have not received them :(.
People intuitively know what is coming. I think the actual shooting indicating the start of the Social War will start about summer of 2009. This summer, 2008, will see a rise in people being attacked at intersections, out bicycling; walking etc. Armed robbery will increase. There will be an increase in the entering of homes without the consent of the possessors. Large riots will take place possibly this coming summer. “The Divine One” in response to the riots will say something like “people are angry” thus giving license for the escalation of violence against certain groups. Yes, people are buying guns.
Where did you find that price? I’m seeing about 60 cents/round around here.
Consider some surplus weapons with NATO ammo calibers like the http://www.the-armory.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/Russian_M44_Rife.html

You bet. WHEN the gun-grabbers come to my house, I’ll tell them I don’t have any. By the time they have a search warrant, they’ll really be “gone”, as will I and my family. They’ll have to dig up the stinking National Forest to find them.
Oh, yeah, Mosin Nagants! I have two of these beauties. And my aim with them is deadly.
Ammo cost is about $130 for a 440 round tin can.

A lot I know...(first hand)
I have been busted by the Grammar police, I feel so ashamed and dirty . . . . LOL!!!
Kinda regret selling those weps to visiting New Yorkers over the last 2 decades. They wouldn’t have the balls to use them anyway...
It is at the "confiscation" stage that they start crossing a lot of folks' "line in the sand".
Let us pray that it does not come to that, for the consequences will be ugly, all the way around.
Unless they are from upstate somewhere . . . maybe.
Here's my tip of the month: there is still a great pistol and ammo deal out there waiting for you. If you have waited to long to arm up, or if you want one more, look at the excellent milsurp CZ-52 pistol and 7.62X25 Tokarev ammo.
You can get a CZ-52 for about $200 at any gun show or at many gun stores. The ammo can be had for as low as 11 cents a bullet in any quantity you want. Extra mags are from $12 to $20 each.
The milsurp ammo is full metal jacket, firing an 85gr bullet at 1,600fps. These will go through car doors, kevlar helmets, kevlar vests etc like an icepick through butter. OTOH, they will also go through one bad guy and maybe hit a good guy behind him.
However, you can buy hollowpoints ("Wolf Gold" with brass shells) for about $19/50, or half the price of comparable 9mm JHPs. My test "Wolf Gold" JHP ammo expanded to .60 caliber, the same as my test 9mm JHPs.
So for $400, you could buy a CZ-52, 1,500 rounds of assorted ammo, and a few extra mags. OR, you could buy about 2/3s of a "brand name" pistol, and no ammo.
It's just a thought. This is a great bargain. The ammo is cheap and plentiful at all of the internet catalog sites. Don't wait, the libtards will soon slam the door on foreign gun and ammo imports, and the prices will go way up.
Another benefit of this pistol is that it is very accurate, with very fine sights. WIth this flat-shooting ammo, you can hit at 100 yards with ease. Downsides are brittle firing pins (buy a spare, and don't dry fire) and a decocking function that you should not trust. Just lower the SA hammer like a 1911. The safety works like a 1911, so if you are used to 1911s, it will be very easy to use the CZ-52
Cheaperthandirt folks are heroes in my eyes. Bless them. They always come through when needed.
On the other hand, I will tell them I have weapons and I will die rather than give them up. There will be at least one fewer to go to your house, even if you have already gone to the woods. I expect my wife will get one or two more of the goons, too. Heck, if I am lucky our dog will piss on their truck tires. We may die but we are not going peacefully. Death to tyrants. Is that clear enough?
Good info. Thanks.
