People are buying every gun they can get their hands on, because of Obamas views on Gun Control. Isn't that..?

Comforting??People are buying every gun they can get their hands on, because of Obamas views on Gun Control. Isn't that..?
Yes, that is comforting seeing as Obama wants to federalize all the states National Guards for his own personal police force, ala Hitler.People are buying every gun they can get their hands on, because of Obamas views on Gun Control. Isn't that..?
No, it isn't.





First of all, Obama supports the right of Americans to own guns. So this sis mostly just a mob response to scare propaganda from the right wing.





However, there is one disturbing note. Obama does support restrictions on high-powered assault weapons. And that appears to be a favorite among these gun nuts.





Here's the disturbing part. First, there's no ';constitutional right'; to own a gun unless it's for a legitimate purpose. That's why the ban on these assault weapons was upheld by the courts while it was in effect in the 1990s. The reason is simple--very few people have a legitimate reason to own such weapons. And imposing such restrictions is well within the guidelines laid down by the conservative US Supreme Court decision in the ';DC gun ban'; case earlier this year.





Now, most of the people buying these weapons are simply a bit screwy--but otherwise not a threat. However, we're seen more than enough hate speech coming from the right wing during this political campaign to be worried. Some of the people buying assault weapons are NOT harmless. Some of them mean to use those weapons.





What's going to happen you can see from the history in the 1980s-90s. Then, when some people--especially religious fanatics--realized they were not going to get their own way on issues like abortion, they resorted to terrorism. The best known case of this was Eric Rudolph and the 1996 Olympic park bombing in Atlanta that killed and injured over 100 people. This unstable element on the right are now faced with a fully Democratic administration headed by an African American--and a lot of the things that are going to come from that administration are NOT going to sit well with the religious/political extremists.





Expect some of these weapons being sold now to be used in terrorist attacks against American citizens in the not-too-distant future.
I see the NRA has been hard at work spreading mis-information and raising the level of paranoia. I guess they won't be happy until there's a fully-loaded automatic rifle in the hands of every man, woman and child in the U.S.A. so that we can defend ourselves from the devil worshiping gay U.N. troops that are supposedly already here and just waiting for the order to burn all our Bibles.





(Sarcasm)
well when obama takes office its going to be very hard to perchase one. so that means the price of guns wil go up. which means get it while you can 4 cheap. because its going to b hard to purchse one after obama takes office.
People that buy guns legally are not the people with guns you need to worry about.





Obama isnt going to take guns away





He is going to impose a new tax on guns and ammo raising the price of both through the roof
yes it is true, the lines in florida are long buying a gun...people feel that the bad guys will get there guns off the street, so they want to have protection.. it is a shame...and scary..
maybe obama has found a way to start the economic recovery.instead of a bailout, start a panic buying spree.
good example of the power of hysteria and rumors.


Gun laws are made by the states. Obama won't run the states.
First of all, we should thank Obama. He has more than likely done more for gun sales than any other president-elect. Second, yes it is comforting. I love my state!
Please read up on Obama's vote as state senator...the reason he voted against it was because they wanted to lower the age from 21 to 18 to purchase a gun. He does not want to take away your guns...relax!!
Good news for gun organizations who are now profiting from spreading those lies.





Obama's gonna take my guns away!
yes... it's also very smart...go them!









theres a bunch of crazys out there thats why.


and thats whats wrong with our world. guns get into the hands of the wrong people.





regular people dont need guns. come on people.
I haven't heard that one. But if people are buying guns it is because they are scared for our national security such as myself.
I am. I bought 2 new guns, and a butt-load of ammo.
Not at all! The last thing we need is more paranoia out there!
People are? which people? not me
