So who says Obama hasn't helped the economy ? Proof is in the lines and empty shelves!

Wait Are you telling me that jackbooted stormtroopers working for Pres.Obama(aka Dear Leader) were forcing these brave, heroic 'mericans to purchase these weapons? THIS GROSS INJUSTICE SHALL NOT BE TOLERATED

Back in 08 when ammo flew off shelves simply because Obama was elected I would have agreed with ya, but now I think all gun owners may have something to fear. I myself will likely be buying a firearm this weekend, but not because everything is being bought up, because I've had my eye on this particular kind of gun for sometime now, and I've finaly found it at the right price!

My local store went through 500 30-round AR pMags in under 3 hours. Bought 4 of them myself.

Did these gun stores also hand out to the gun purchasers their very own life-size "Obama Shooting Target"? I mean, it'll help 'em when them dern commies(democrats, like it matters right?) storm their trailer parks.

I heard that even squirt guns are flying off the shelves. Americans love their weapons.

Better stay away from Walmart over the next few days. Between the Christmas rush and the firearm panic, things could get out of hand.

None of the dealers able to get on manufacturers websites to order merchandise for their store because most of the major sites have crashed due to extremely high volume, or so I was told. At two of the dealers, there were at least three gentleman at each one looking to buy thousand round bricks of .223 ammo. Some of the guys were those that I'd seen at the previous store. At least one man was looking to buy several AR 15's before they were no longer available, citing that all the major retailers have either pulled them from their shelves, or sold out of them and cannot find any more to order.

This seems to b the trend nationwide and will continue to be so in the weeks ahead..............

Things are getting crazy out there.
After a tragedy like Newtown, irrational people panic and start demanding to disarm law abiding citizens. Rational people prepare.
