Just who is buying all of those guns? (economy, concealed carry, v)

Mr. Obama is the best gun salesman since Bill Clinton.

Not that it's a bad thing.

Perhaps he has stock in gun companies and planned all along to boost the price of his stocks.

You can get 22's and some shotgun shells.

Looks like UPS is gonna be busy shipping in all the web orders.

I guess the gun industry won't be needing a bailout. I'm thinking of becoming a gun owner and it's not because I need one now but because I think the second amendment may be trashed with all of these Democrats and when I do think I need one, I won't be able to get one down the road.

Same with elective surgery. Any surgery I can wait on, may be better to have done sooner than later because I may not be able to get it when I need it.

Good clear thinking LauraC. This isn't about particular firearms or interstate commerce. This about human rights.

This is a significant help for the economy in countries like Romania , the Czech Republic and other allies which export
guns and ammunition to the US.
Over the last couple of years , the Czechs have opened a significant US market for civilian legal versions of their
service rifle.
They export modified , one shot at a time ( self-loading ) versions of the rifle that our Czech and Slovak allies
use in A-stan.
The VZ58 is also popular in Canada. ( Believe or not).

Our Springfield XD's are made in Croatia and they're a damn fine handgun. Way to go, Croats!

[gbear48]

The Croats have been very good allies for years.
Tough , clean fighters with a good human rights record.

Hunters don't need assault weapons. Assault weapons are for one thing - shooting wildly from the hip.

[gbear48]

Really?

Silly me . I thought they were , sometimes , useful for defending the innocent.

Nobody ever taught me how to shoot wildly from the hip.
