I know that you Europeans and Aussies on this site will probably disagree. But to those of us here in the US who understand all of the problems that are swiftly coming (i.e. food shortages, tax riots, increasing crime, increasing government regulation, etc, etc.) the need is now more pressing than ever to go out and get a FOID card, get your background checked, buy a gun, (preferably a shotgun, rifle, assault rifle, etc. as handguns will not be as uselfull for what you will need them for), buy a lot of ammunition, take lessons on how to use your weapon from somebody who knows what they're talking about, and get ready to protect yourself and your family. The Urban areas and Rural areas are already drowning with guns...but for the hard working people in the suburbs, get ready and be prepared. Guns are not just for gang members and rednecks, exercise your right to own a weapon before it is gone.

I really do hope were wrong about obama, but i see no reason not to get ready for the worst . He can outlaw weapons but they still have to try and take em.

I'm buying mine. If we get slapped with another ridiculous AWB I plan on having every rifle and pistol that I could ever want. I would suggest buying a ton of magazines and the most common replacement parts for firearms you suspect will be banned. I do have a feeling we'll have at least a couple of years before any of this comes to fruition, make the best of it!

While I'm strictly against gun control...

I think that article is just great free advertising for Mr. Jim Pruett, he is being a good salesman. The firearms industry is on cloud nine right now.

Good for them.

I remember, and it wasn't that long ago..you could walk into any retail department store and buy guns. Sears,K-Mart, etc. Now it's getting harder and harder to find guns and ammo.
Now...watch carefully..pay attention to bills before Congress,that have nothing to do with gun control,but written within bills totaly unrelated to guns..will be hidden controls on the "real" threat to government gun control...the sales of weapons in the private sector. Right now, the safest way to purchase weapons without government knowledge is through the private sector. Many states have no laws regarding background checks or registration when buying through the private sector...and this includes GUN SHOWS.. When laws start changing this aspect of gun sales..it's because they wan't to close this discreet method of those who want to exercise their right to bear arms without interference from the government. Any adminestration that wants total gun control will attack this form of weapons sales right away. When you hear about any legislation involving sales of weapons in the private sector about to change...there ya go...so before it becomes law..BUY all you can get

Clinton is the best gun salesman who ever lived.Obama will be a close second..Granted,gun control will not happen overnite.Obama and the people who he has rallied around him are not friends of the 2nd amendment. Be prepared,they are going to try to take away our guns. I will not give mine up,[from my cold dead hands]..Gun and ammunition sales here in Alaska are unbelievable..You cannot find a semi-auto rifle anywhere..And when a shop does get some in they;re gone in a matter of minutes..Bushmaster is putting a rush on 50,000 rifles..Ammunition is hard to get in certain calibers..Most of ammo comes up by a slow barge from Seattle..I was at a gun show not to long ago and one vendor sold 69,000 rounds of .223 ammo in 4 hrs. Most of my semi-auto rifles are 7.62x39 and you could buy a case for $150 now if you can find them it's $225..Ive been buying lots.... My advice, for what it's worth is buy now, and join the N.R.A. and be ready to fight for your rights, before we're turned into subjects......

Us Aussies are standing our ground as they say!

I lost many semi autos as a target disapline, when the nut went wild in Port Author,and guess what? I was in wildlife rescue for many years so you dont have to be some redneck and shoot every roo or anything that moves to loose your hobby.

Buy guns b4 u cannot?????

What kind of message does that give me?
it tells me that you are scared or confused.

That kind of post really does not sit well with me at all, the kind of mssages that we should be putting out to the ppls is about peace and opportunitites that are coming.

Well not if there are posts stating the above all the time.

I know most of you will say "Guns protect me" and "It is my right to carry weapons" BUT

That right was upheld 200 yrs ago and is no longer needed as that constitutional right anymore.

Provide peaceful solutions to your probelms and fears and you WILL find that a peaceful outcome will present itself to you.

PEACE to all

It will be a good idea to stock up on ammo too. Most people around here are think that a unrealistic tax on ammo will be imposed.

Try finding a stripped lower receiver. I have been looking for 3 weeks now. Those that had them double the price and those that didn't have any didn't know when they would get a shipment.

I saw an ad in the shotgun news, so I will call today but they will probably be out too.

If the sale of guns is prohibited, then the ownership of guns will be prohibited soon after for everyone except hunters and license holders.

This new law will be used to counteract the black market selling of guns.

The possible fine or jail sentence for owning an unlicensed gun will be enough to scare people into handing them into their local police station.

As far as i know, this is how we were made hand over the majority of our guns after our civil war.

The only other realistic thing the government can do is to put a massive tax on guns and ammo & make everyone who buys one get the sty ration marks put on a database.

Normally a modern state of law is facilitated by a monopoly of violence by the state[a democratic one], howerever lately i began to recognize people's need to hold their own guns in the US, but this is not for Obama 's rule[altough you never know] but the idiots that ruled the US for the past 8 years and screwed them over and over again..A police state with martial law, echelon and whatever to police their people..
btw If you think Obama is a communist, compare his policies [for instance abortion, gay marriage etc.] with social democratic[yes we're not socialists/communist overe here] policies over here, he would be a straight right-winger in our eyes specially on those policies..

I feel sorry for all those who have invested so much money in their firearms. You don't get compensated for those when you have to turn them in. May people have a valid reason to own guns. Hunters, collectors and just those who believe in the second ammandment all have valid reasons. The problem is with the criminals and irresposible gun owners who ruin it for the rest.

But that is how our world works. Instead of punishing those responsible, we punish the wrong people. Criminals will always be able to get guns.

The whole premise is absurd.

The right to own guns is written into the constitution... they can control and or limit sales but they cannot eliminate the right to own and use guns not without an amendment to the constitution (remember they had to amend the constitution in order to end prohibition)...

and to do that you need 2/3 approval of both houses of congress and then 3/4 of the states approval...

and that is simply not going to happen.

I'd recommend focusing on ammo purchases.

You'll get a lot farther with 2 guns and 20,000 rounds of ammo than you will with 50 guns and a hundred rounds of ammo.

And ammo is what the worthless liberals will be going after (as a matter of fact they already are - $0.05 a round tax going through several state legislatures right now).

Wow, sure are lots of crazies over there.

Glad I don't live in the U.S. with all those people who are delusional and armed to the teeth. Won't take much to set them off (see heading of this thread!), and they do seem to be very susceptible to groundless rumours. Hopefully the police and their neighbours will be able to deal with the worst of them.

Most of us that are gun owners will NOT turn ours in no matter what. More than you think will not roll over and just take this crap. Those of you in Europe can keep your opinions of our constitution to yourselves. We don't care what you think and NEVER will on this issue! Should the governemt think they can just come into our homes and take them without a fight, you are sadly mistaken. I will tell you here and now, there will be DEAD on both sides and it won't be pretty but it will happen and it will NOT prevail! If the goevernments of this world want a bunch of sheep then thats what they will end up with if they choose to follow this path. Those og you who knuckle under will have to dance to EVERYONES tune but your own for the rest of your natural slave lives. I for onechoose NOT to. I will not live on my knees. I never have and NEVER will.

Signed..

One Pissed off citizen!
