thats news. we can imagine how much these people must have harassed the black
 
The increase in arms sales occurs each time a Democrat president is elected. It has nothing to do with race, but a perception that the new administration is hostile to gun rights.
 
sheesh, look at these guns that are availible! you can build your own small millitia brigade with those weapons.
 
:sl:
How can you just go and buy lethal weapons like that? In front of small children? Guns are on display like trainers or power tools...

It's called a constitutional right. It's comes almost directly from the Declaration of Rights written in England about the time of the Glorious Revolution. It is intended to make sure that no government can turn into a tyranny. That was the logic behind it.

I think its more normal in the South to have guns, so while there are cases where it wasn't the safest idea for a kid to see the gun, in many cases I'm sure the family has it locked away and the kids know they have no access to it.

If the new administration is hostile to possession of certain types of guns, and they outlaw them, doesn't it become illegal to keep them? Or you can just have them in your home still, but not leave the house with it? :? It doesn't concern me and never will, I'm just curious. lol. I don't think we're even allowed to walk out with a gun anyway in Cali. :?

Guns Sales Up in Texas



DALLAS - This morning, guns sales in Texas are on the rise. Sales for some assault rifles have tripled. Gun shop owners say the reason is the presidential election.



Gun shop owners say customers are afraid if Barack Obama gets elected he will ban assault weapons. Obama said President Bush made a mistake when he let the ban expire. Now gun shops are seeing more business.



Johm Mannewits is the manager of the Target Master Gun store in Dallas. He says, "I had a customer today who came in and bought an AR-15. He said he'd always wanted one and he was afraid if Obama got elected there wouldn't be anymore."



Earlier this year during a debate, Obama said he still supports the second amendment, "but just because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can not constrain the exercise of that right."



Gun shop owners say if Obama is elected they expect prices to go up. That means some people are buying right now to get good deals. Others are investing and hoping to sell guns after the election for a profit.

The gun culture still exists throughout the South, midwest, and the northern plains states. Personally I was familiar with firearms from the time I was 9 years old.

They can't really outlaw guns that have been previously sold, that would be much too unpopular and dangerous for the government to go house to house taking away firearms. No president or government would ever be stupid enough to try that. What they can do is make the sell of certain firearms illegal from a certain date, regulate ammunition sales, etc. I honestly don't see Obama making any attempt to regulate firearms on a federal level.
 
Gotcha, I understand. And yea, I know they wouldn't outlaw it completely, I meant outlawing a specific type of gun as you said. Sorry not bein more clear to begin with.
 
So are people buying guns to shoot Obama or buying them for fear that he will ban them? :S

Maybe it was in 1776. Now it's an insane historical relic. What possible use do you have for an assault rifle?! I know you hunt, but those things are designed to hunt people, not wildlife.

Who says its an historical relic? The founding fathers thought the right to bear arms was important enough to make it a constitutional federal law. Contrary to popular belief, that right wasn't about a standing militia or hunting, it was about securing individual liberty from all opponents, even if that opponent happens to be the government.

What right did people have in 1866 to have a lever action repeating rifle? As gun technology improves the civilian population also acquires that technology. Of course there has to be some form of regulation on the stockpile of weaponry and destructive capability, and not even the NRA would deny that. The issue is the slippery slope of the federal government denying its citizens the right to purchase a firearm. If you decide citizens can't purchase an AR-15 what stops them from stating you can't buy a semi-automatic 30/30 or a .230. Rate of fire isn't the issue as much as the kinds of ammunition available. I would support a ban on armor piercing rounds for example.

It has nothing to do with shooting Obama. Many are buying because they believe prices will go up and some because they think Obama will attempt to deny them the right to purchase that weapon in the future.
