Surging gun sales driven by paranoia

Pretty lame article overall I must say... If you have to state "I am not anti-gun" in article chances are you are. Maybe he is just anti-freedom, anti-self help, and anti-common sense.
 
I LOL'd at Do they really think the president can suspend the Constitution at will?

Yes. Yes, I do. (See Patriot Act & NDAA, et al)

Thanks for linking. It seems like a fairly objective and largely accurate description of the situation, unless you bring in the Fast & Furious scandal, UN Small Arms Treaty, and 'under the radar' comments and buy into the 'underlying' motive. The NRA and others in the gun lobby are absolutely fomenting panic. But we in the sport dont need to tell the media that we are arming ourselves for a societal breakdown. We shoot for sport, we arm ourselves for self-defense, and anything else we joke about is just that, jokes.

I mean, the next thing you'll be hearing is that Zombie Max isn't really for shooting zombies...I'm sure the media would have fun with that.

That said, just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean that paranoia is unwarranted.

I know I'm going to take a beating for this...

2012 we're all gonna die. 2013 asteroid is going to kill us all if john cusack's movie does't first.

i need to go buy another gun.

because why not, that's why.
 
The author of this article is retarded. Who gives a rats ass why people are buying guns? It's their right to buy them. While I admit the probability of Obama banning anything is in the slim and none category, people buying guns is also a form of protest, and not just against Obama, either. It certainly got his attention last time, to the extent that he actually spent time discussing it with the mainstream press. Since the NRA (and congress, for the most part) are generally impotent with rolling our rights back to where they should be legally, we can't really do much other than fight the antis in court and buy more guns.

I think he is also mis-characterizing some of the "fear" he thinks he's detecting There are as many people buying guns thinking that Obama is going to ban them as there are people buying guns because they fear the logical outcome of Obama's socialist policies, and also, just a generally worsening economy. There are likely also millions of people who always thought of owning a gun but never really got around to it- and this clown getting elected effectively "pushed them over the hump" so to speak.

If Obama gets in in November, the guy who wrote this article is gonna crap his pants. [rofl] I don't think it'll be as much as it was the first time but there will be another surge.

It must have been a slow news day. I love his remark he doesn`t begrudge anyone their "hobby". Planning for an individual`s self defense is not a "hobby", it`s common sense, unless you`re a liberal.
 
There's plenty of fuel in mASSachusetts to keep the "paranoia fires" burning brightly. The president said that he and his administration were trying other methods to institute firearm regulation. Since the President's buddy, the illustrious Governor Patrick took office, he has sent several "anti-gun ownership" bills forward. In addition, look at the "slow down" in issuing LTC's and FID's through out the state. Another change made under this administration is the fact that applicant's for non-resident LTC's have to go to Chelsea, MA in person. And apparently,some of those non-resident LTc's are sent out with restrictions. Step by step and hoping to pass under the radar, the infringement upon the citizens is moving forward. I don't think I'm paranoid, I'm simply aware of what's happening.
Best regards.
 
i think if they see gun sales up so much they are much less likely to try banning them. the more gun owning american citizens and the more articles showing that its becoming main stream, the better imo.

now that Framingham PD started to issue restricted LTCs, I'm very very very sorry that I wasn't paranoid enough to get my wife to apply earlier. Be paranoid while you still can!

The writer is a liberal dick.

Has this been confirmed? I know people have been talking about it, but I hadn't seen a confirmation.

I saw one post of a comrade, last week may be, that got a restricted LTC and his profile said he was from Fram. Unless he specifically asked for it ...
 
Reliable gun sales figures are hard to find, but it appears most guns are being bought today are for sport and self-defense, not overthrowing the government.

What's this asshat talking about?
 
I read this article and I recalled a debate I had with a anti-gun person who I know from high school. I recall the feeling I had at the end of the debate was about the same I had at the end of reading the article. Why did I waste my valuable time? Opinion... Mine matters to me not his...

Why did you wait over 6 months before making your first post ????
