It's hardly just public worries about gun rights and public stocks, however. Folks are frankly getting ready to protect themselves for when all hell breaks loose around here.The 2008 elections that saw the Democratic Party extend their power in both houses of Congress and saw Barack Obama elected president made gun owners very nervous, and with good reason.
We have a president that has favored gun bans and who desires to reinstate the horribly flawed 1994 assault weapons ban authored by our rather dim vice president. We also have radically anti-gun majority leaders in both the House of Representatives and Senate, and a Congress quite willing to pass massive, bloated laws without even bothering to read the contents. Fears of encroachment are certainly warranted ....Individual shooters are stockpiling thousands of rounds of ammunition because of fears of future punitive taxation or outright bans of certain kinds of ammunition.
For example, check out Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler, "Not The Kind of CHANGE! They Had HOPEd! For":
There's more at the link.There’s a very good reason that the Magic Marxist Messiah & His Mental Midget Moronic Minions™ are shaking in their recycled plastic wannabe jackboots— They see this kind of response to their
New New DealStalinist 5-Year Plan.TALLAHASSEE — People in Florida are fearful of the economic future, and one way they are coping is by buying guns.
It’s not just the “economic future” that has people “fearful“, our good lil’ journaljizmer. There’s a little thing called “personal liberty” that’s being buried faster than Vince Foster’s body.
The state office that issues concealed weapons permits is buried under a backlog of 95,000 applications, and doesn’t have enough money in its budget to do the job. A legislative budget panel is being asked to approve a midyear budget transfer of nearly $4 million to catch up to the demand for permits.
Now there’s some “HOPE!” that you can take to the bank, right there. Dictatorships absolutely hate an armed citizenry and they’ll use every ruse and justification (“It’s For The Chillllllrenz!”, being the meme d’ jour.) to make damned sure that The People don’t have the means to defend and rid themselves of their overlords.
I'll have more later ...

...we saw it coming...
Thanks Libby!
You all totally saw it coming. No more guns. Fear works so much better with a healthy dose of paranoia, doesn't it?
Yeah, talk to me in four years: if your guns are all gone you can have mine.
JBW: I think Libby means we saw the potential for Democratic unrest and rioting coming. That's really why people are getting the guns. On top of that is the shortage, so people are stocking up.
They can have my gun when they can pry it from my cold dead fingers.
I'd still say that riots are a long ways off, Don. I know that it stokes the flames of the "Obama's gonna destroy America" meme you and your acolytes like to fan here but it's still just fear and paranoia at this point. We survived 8 years of W, we can weather the current storms.
And although you took the occasion of my proffered advice to talk shit about my piercings I see you've dropped the words "dear readers" from your sign off line. Don't you feel a bit less fruity now? You're welcome.
The lackk of Ammo may be real down the road...but it just isn't so in the Heartland. I'll check back after the Fort Wayne Gun Show this weekend...I plan on stocking up on ammo.{and buy a new weapon or two in the process}
Right, Obama has done nothing, to curb weapons or ammunition sales! Republicans who , like oil producers, saw a opportunity to stick it to their customers, for profit' so who do YOU trust? Greedy bastards and law enforcement armies who get anything they want, including assault weapons and tactical forces to use against their own people? why did Bush create free speach ZONES? We are the land of the free, and home of the brave!
except for chicken shit republicans afraid of their own shadows cause they would screw their best friends for money. then brag about it! they are not safe but its their own fault.
Ammo is the new Wii. A few people profiting by creating false demand. It is ruining my sport. When you can't shoot you don't buy guns.. the industry needs to figure out a better way to make a buck.
