It's apparent that many people truly fear what lies ahead. Terrible economic times with no relief in sight, and the reality of Obama bringing many of his Chicago buddies with him to Washington. I live 25 miles outside of the city and the local news continues to make him out to be the best thing to ever happen. Well, all i know is Chicago has the highest taxes in the country and by having this distinction, is driving out many long time and established companys. Does this eventually mean higher taxes for all of us? Probably in time. But back to the gun issue. It's said that the main reason for the booming gun sales are the fear of a racial civil war. Meaning what if he's ------------.
Many people fear it would bring country wide hysteria and unrest for an extended period. The news also said that nearly all new gun sales and registrations were to caucasion americans. What does all this mean, don't really know. But is disturbing to think about.:wondering

Im not to suprised, there has been a large amount of firearm reform talk. Every forum Im on talks about Obama wanting to take guns away. Dont know about the race side of it though........ I think that would be like the South Rising again lol.
If I could afford it, I would buy a few guns. Theres always something in the way though.

Cant go wrong with a brand new 1911, just bought one last Saturday. That'll be my 4th lol
Well as far as dismal times in your state.........Ohio stands at 7.2% unemployment rate.....The national avaerage is 6.8%......And I just had to lay a guy off today....
As far as racial civil unrest......................Hmmmm
They can have all the guns in the world,but when they are aiming a 9mm at me sideways with one hand.................I doubt they can actually hit me with a bullet.
But hey...................They look cool doing it that way................

I'm hopefully putting a downpayment on a AR-15 tomarrow, and all the ammo I can grab, before the prices skyrocket.

It happens everytime a democrat gets into office. They always preach gun control while running for office. Same thing happened when Clinton got elected gun sales sky rocketed then also. Not sure about when Carter got elected but it wouldn't surprise me one bit, either way. The country was in desperate times back then also.
