Here's an article that says it's tied to the economy not Obama. Still...

As economy sours, gun sales boom : News-Record.com : Greensboro, North Carolina

Conspiracy theories?

“If you’ve got a gun in your house, I’m not taking it,’’ Obama said. But the Illinois senator could still see skeptics in the crowd, particularly on the faces of several men at the back of the room.
So he tried again. “Even if I want to take them away, I don’t have the votes in Congress,’’ he said. “This can’t be the reason not to vote for me. Can everyone hear me in the back? I see a couple of sportsmen back there. I’m not going to take away your guns.’’

Oh, yes, and that sure the HELL works!!!

PEOPLE ARE YOU JUST UNINFORMED OR NOT LISTENING OR WHAT?

Chicago has a gun ban!!!! Obama is from Chicago!!! He worked to help get that gun ban!!!!

I don't know. Talk about the politics of personality. I guess everyone likes the way Obama walks or talks cause if they really examined his record and what he espouses, maybe they would take a second look at who this guy is.

Biden was behind the so-called Assault Weapons Ban. Yeah, I trust him...not! And Obama's record speaks for itself...I'm not fooled by him suddenly changing his rhetoric when he decides to run for president.

Washington Wire - WSJ.com : Obama: 'I'm Not Going to Take Your Guns Away'

He fully intends to push the issue . . .and ban them just like in CHICAGO.

I guess Obamaniacs are so enthralled w/ the Audacity of Hope that they have not even heard what the man is really saying! If they had, they would not be so giggly in love with the truly audacious things O stands for!!!!

They want to be controlled by the state. Take the gun that helps stop a criminal from entering a home and committing a crime. It's a lacking knowledge of history.

I don't have a problem with guns it's the availability of the ammunition that's the issue. The politicians need to address that before the guns. Without bullets gun no worky. That used to be the topic some years back but it never went anywhere.

Good God, man. I would bet my life I have many more guns than you do and I couldn't even make up this bs.

He's likely going to push to re-enact the AWB, but he's not going to take away low-cap semi/bolt action rifles and handguns.

Gun bans don't take guns away from anyone but the people who abide by the law leaving open for the slaughter houses.

The updated law & regulation packet that ATF sends me each year is 2 and 3/4 inches thick.

That's just for a collector's permit that covers curio's and relics.

Buy a packet from ATF or look at their website.

Then .........

....tell us what dangerous activities are not already prohibited.
