Since the president does not directly legislate, wouldn't it be even better to look at the admin's enforcement policies? Take 'fast and furious' for example...

Stocking up due to the imminent collapse of the US Economy. The political outlook world wide for 2012 is not looking good, and that is not going to help the US Economy at all.

You have to admit, it only became a disgrace under Obama/Holder and that was because they decided to politicize it as a sneaky way of getting more gun control passed without all that nasty democracy most Presidents actually respect.

Obama has never been about individuals owning guns, get over it and most people know that.

The bad guys, the mafia's the crooks, what ever you want to call them, will never have a problem getting their filthy hands on guns.

Heard about the grandma last week who shot dead a burglar breaking into her home and going towards her, without the gun, she would have been dead.
That right doesn't anyone remember what happened to George Harrison being stabbed by burglar invading his abode? He survived to only die of cancer what a loss...

There has been several shot and killed here lately breaking in homes with armed occupants to feed their drug habits too bad but I will protect my family and neighbors if needed.Old Betsy and Freedom are locked and loaded....

The economy is about to collapse? How so? While unemployment is higher than anyone would like, we have stable prices inflation is low; interest rates are low and GDP is growing moderately. Where's the collapse Chicken Little?

Well if there has been no inflation the last three years why did they give me a cost of living allowance of $120.00 extra a month at the first of this year? I never have received such a large raise before? The last three years they said no raise because there was no inflation.

Stable prices surely you jest been to the grocery store lately?

Buy gas much?

Your right about interest rates being low thats why my assets are going out of the banks and into realestate,railroad stock.

Wait and see the numbers when the Christmas Holiday employment comes to an end.
