Obama: Don't stock up on guns

[chevydeerhunter]

Actually, I personally know three people who bought guns for the first time in the last couple of weeks. Ironically Obama's election might create more gun owners and more gun owners (more voters) might reduce the liklihood of increased gun legislation.

Don't hold your breath.

Lawful gun owners have nothing to fear.

This whole article reminds me of the movie "Mars Attacks!". Specifically the part where one martian is carrying the translator that's saying, "don't run. we are your friends" while all the other aliens are vaporizing everybody.

The interresting part about Obama's statement is another one by his running mate...problay by him as well.

That is, this country is facing another terrorist attack between now and 2013.

So on one hand you got Obama sayhing we're about to be attacked and on the other hand don't arm your selves?

I half agree with Obama. Don't stock up on OVERPRICED guns.

Eventually, lots of those people that bought ARs are going to realize that they can't afford 40 cents a round and their wives are going to make them "get rid of it before getting a new toy."

Can you send one of those guys my way? :) I'm actually hoping that there is a huge gear up of ARs in the next month, then B.O. doesn't actually do anything, causing a glut of ARs on the retail end.

Lawful gun owners have nothing to fear... that's actually a politically astute statement. See, first they make "assault weapons" and "high capacity" mags illegal...thus making anyone with those no longer a lawful gun owner... Ergo, those now unlawful gun owners have something to fear, but the lawful ones still don't.
