At a gun store in Casper, Wyo., late last month, a wall that typically displays about 25 military-style rifles was almost bare.

And there is a very simple reason as to why!
WE ARE NOW AFRAID OF OUR GOVERMENT~

Either directly, as in tyrannical authoritarians who dictate every aspect of our lives to us. (still to come)

Or having our goverment decide they get to choose what means we have to defend ourselves against those who would harm us. (Under debate right now)

Here in Texas, the week before Christmas it was so bad that the EBR wall was empty and they took to putting out old Mosin Nagants,Enfields and really rough Chinese SKS’s just so the walls would not be bare.

I just got off the phone with a friend who’s at a gun show in Ventura, CA. He says it’s packed and the ammo vendors are getting mobbed.

Good goin’ DiFi! Good goin’ 0bama! Now that’s some economic stimulus I can get behind!

Just damn good!

Try as the socialists will, they will never take our hunting, self-defense, anti-tyrannical weapons from us. There are just too many and they can't muster the forces to confiscate them all.

They can try their incremental approach as they do and have succeeded for many of their socialist anti-liberty causes over the years. Sen. Feinstein and others can forward their most radical legislation, but they have already loss with so many guns, mags, and ammo flying off the shelves since Obambi soiled our White House. Sales have increased some 3 fold since he was re-elected and just after the horrific Newtown massacre. People learn.

I read every day about those who have never had a firearm going out to buy them. I also read about the numerous people applying for CCW permits. I also see the various States relaxing their laws for the above. The FBI had to shut down their system some days back because of all the legit buyers requesting background checks.

There is no going back. Pass any law they want, other than some wimps, few are going to give up their weapons. And just what is the DOJ going to about that? Without the assistance of the Military or National Guard, there is NO way they can enforce it.

We are secure in right to self-defense. It's not going to change. We are the original freedom-loving people and we got there with our guns.

Last thought for the socialist controllers: If ALL guns were outlawed tomorrow and even All confiscated, do they not understand there would be an under-ground market for guns...much like drugs which continue to flood our nations? Yes, DU dummies, that would happen. They would flow in from Mexico and other countries. The bad guys would still have access to guns.

as Nation Weighs Tougher Limits

What do they mean by this?

The "nation" is not doing anything. The law abiding are still the law abiding. They didn't do anything wrong.

It's the corrupt government ruling class who desire to use criminal activity as an excuse to disarm the American people and repeal the 2nd Amendment.

My friend was at the gun show at the IX center in Cleveland, Ohio this morning. He got there early and said the place was absolutely packed, wall to wall people. He said that deals were taking place like crazy, inside the show and out in the lot (personal sales, friend to friend). I’m guessing that it’s like that all over.

"If you own a weapon, you should be stable,” said Mr. Gray, who said he had come from Los Angeles to buy a gun for his daughter. “You should be accountable for your actions. I don’t mind stricter background checks. What we’ve done with the mental health in this country — these people used to get care and were in facilities. And in most of these instances, it’s been people with mental problems.”"

Other than the "accountability" part, this is a stupid remark from a gun owner about mental patients and facilities. I dare any psychiatrist or therapist to predict any of their patients will go ballistic. They can't do it. Psychiatry is not an exact science. People will go over the edge when not expected, while seeing their therapist because his parents are not the Cleavers or because he got picked on at school.

Yes, there are some indicators for some, but how to tell the difference between anti-social behavior and potential psychotics is a judgement call, which again means in-exact science. The potential crazies will ALWAYS be out there, not to mention Jihadists and other religous/political motivated crazies.

That's why everyone should be armed around mass gatherings like schools, malls, arenas, etc. I really don't have a problem with armed guards in schools, malls, arenas, et al, as the liberals cry about.

The world is going nuts. I say, let's arm ourselves against those nuts and minimize their damage when we get the chance. 2 to body mass; 1 to the head.

High-capacity magazines, which some state and federal officials want to ban or restrict, were selling briskly across the country: one Iowa dealer said that 30-round magazines were fetching five times what they sold for just weeks ago.

Ya think, Pinch? Back orders for 30rd MagPul AR mags is over one million now. Just picturing a million brand new magazines filled with 30 million brand new cartridges makes me feels safer. :-)

Obama’s lies, tyrannical behavior and hateful demeanor towards the free people of the land have pushed gun sales through the roof. Hello Biden, Osamaobama, Feinstien, Gregory et. al., keep talking and the people will keep buying. God bless them and God bless America.
