In response to one who tried to poo poo the statement on Obama being anti gun and also gun and ammo sales increasing....
I heard the very same thing on the news about guns and ammo sales being up quite a bit the last month. As far as Obama on gun rights, he knows better than to say that he doesn't believe in the 2nd Amendment. The Dems learned in the 90's that was not something to be on thw rong side of. The rub in that is, even though they may not come right out and make statements to the fact that they are for restrictive gun laws, they will quietly support any measure that comes down the pike and call it "sensible" in the hopes that most will not pay attention to it. As far as the votes he has cast, He voted against Senate S.397, which did pass anyway. This bill provided protections for firearm and ammo makers, dealers, distributors, etc. The anti gun crowd voted against it, because where they couldnt pass a law to put these people out of business, the open door for frivolous lawsuits would have broken the industry for them. I don't have the bill numbers in front of me for the following, but Obama has also advocated huge tax increases on firearms and ammo sales, advocated bans on most deer rifle ammo, and advocated that nobody should be allowed a concealed carry permit.
As far as me personally, I have a decent collection of guns ranging from shotguns, to assault rifles, to a number of handguns by Glock. I am waiting to see what happens Tuesday, but if Hussein wins, I will be adding to my collection by at least 4 new guns, including 2 assault rifles. I will also gather together several thousand rounds of ammo for my Glocks and AR15 rifles, as well as high capacity magazines. I am not some nutcase waiting to start a war, but I also remember the ridiculous Clinton magazine ban, and how pricey high capacity magazines got, and how hard they were to come by. This guy, backed by the really liberal Pelosi/Reid Congress, will have no problem stepping on your 2nd Amendent rights to the extent they can. The recent Heller case in the Supreme Court may have given us some protection by finally stating that the 2nd Amendment is and individual right, I can see where they would have no trouble hitting around the edges by making guns and ammo so expensive, that for the average person, its essentially a ban. I can also see the ease at which they might restrict magazine capacity, as that isn't violating the 2nd Amendment. You could still get mags, they would just be smaller.
I was so thankful the Assault Weapons ban expired. The Democrats that advocated extending it, wanted to extend also the list of banned weapons to include any weapon used by military or police. Well, that would basically wipe out most guns right there. The police use shotguns and handguns that millions own. The military not only uses assault rifles, but also pistols and shotguns. They have demonized the 50 caliber rifles, and hunting rifles, as they could be used as sniper weapons. You might find a few moderate Democrats, particularly from the south, who support gun rights, but the vast majority, especially urban liberal types, hate guns with a passion, and will only need to control the White House and Congress, to start pushing their agenda. Each piece they bring up will be termed "sensible gun controls" You just remember I told you so.
