Heard on the news this morning gun and ammo sales have sky-rocketted since Barack Hussein Obama.............?

Question

became President, why do you think this is happening?

Answer 1

Americans are getting ready before Barack Hussein Obama bans us from buying and using weapons. When that happens I guess a lot of people will start using bows and arrows, like in the middle-age which seems to be the place where he wants to take all of us.

Answer 2

Because the right to bear arms is so ingrained in the American psych and mention of banning owning guns goes against the grain. Americans like to be prepared to defend themselves. They have lost trust in the government just look at the "fence" on the Mexican border.Seems like the Minutemen are not such "nuts" as the media let you believe.As of now the drug lords and cartels have made Arizona the 2nd kidnapping center in the world. Mexico being number one.There is a tension in the air and who knows what will set it off.People feel they have to be prepared to defend themselves.I blame the politicians for not doing their job of protecting the borders.Someone powerful is making money from the drug trade and it may well go all the way up to the top.American will not let anyone destroy this country.As long as Americans have guns it keeps a balance.It is only a matter of time before it gets bloody even with the Mexican President trying to fight it.

Answer 3

sure. when I ordered my "obama's gonna ban my weapons" rifle i develop into counseled there develop right into a 20 week production facility lead time. It develop into particularly a week and a a million/2 after Obama gained the election. 5 months later, my ak47 ultimately arrived. of course gun sales are way up. human beings's buying swifter than they may well be imported legally. and now gun sales are way up via fact each and every physique is beginning as much as stockpile non EBR-form weapons too, i can no longer even detect a save with a Ruger 10/22 in inventory recently. it incredibly is the least of it, walmarts around the country have not have been given any ammo on their cabinets besides shotshells. almost each and every save is cleansing out of 10+ skill magazines, even in California, the place the AW ban never ended saved and wiped sparkling out of AK and AR magazines, besides as FAL and maximum pistol magazines too. of course obama being in place of work has some thing to with it, i haven't considered one among those panic buying beforehand. yet then I wasn't around for he final 1994 or perhaps beforehand that 1986 gun ban panics.

Answer 4

This is because Obama is surrounded by well meaning but naive and ignorant counsel. He simply does not have all the facts nor is he willing to receive them from the other side of the aisle. He sees Republicans and others who are not "crazy" gushing with praise and slobbering with unchallenged admiration over his every move, as the enemy and not worth listening to. Unfortunately, they are Americans and even though they don't worship his every act, thought and teleprompted word.... they DO have intelligent insight of which he is in DIRE need of.



Americans see his actions as completely "off the wall chaotic" and are getting ready for that you-know-what stuff to really hit the fan. You don't have to have a high IQ to see the writing on the wall, read it and respond accordingly. Funny thing is, he accused John McCain of not "getting it" on the campaign trail. Guess who's NOT "getting it" now? Hello, Obama, is anybody home?

Answer 5

This is really old news, and the reason is because people fear that Obama will ban guns and/or ammo, so they want to get theirs now for protection in the future.

Answer 6

All the gun magazines publish nonsense about how 'the government' is going to take your guns...every time they do that gun sales go up. About a year later you see a lot of used guns showing up in gun stores after the hysteria dies down. For a couple of months gun sales are hot, then comes the big slump......it all averages out. Unless you live in one of the seven retarded states that have no Right to Bear Arms clause in their state constitution you'll not be bothered. Lord God, I own far too many guns and have for a lot of years. Every now and then the GOP comes up with this '''they're gonna' take 'yer guns..vote for us'. It's been BS since FDR was president and it's BS now. No kiddin'!

Answer 7

Tiedye look up Obamas voting history on guns at http://www.ontheissues.org/Barack_Obama.htm

or if it's too much trouble to actually research the truth,



Opposed bill okaying illegal gun use in home invasions. (Aug 2008)

Ok for states & cities to determine local gun laws. (Apr 2008)

FactCheck: Yes, Obama endorsed Illinois handgun ban. (Apr 2008)

April 2008: "Bittergate" labeled Obama elitist. (Apr 2008)

Respect 2nd Amendment, but local gun bans ok. (Feb 2008)

Provide some common-sense enforcement on gun licensing. (Jan 2008)

2000: cosponsored bill to limit purchases to 1 gun per month. (Oct 2007)

Concealed carry OK for retired police officers. (Aug 2007)

Stop unscrupulous gun dealers dumping guns in cities. (Jul 2007)

Keep guns out of inner cities--but also problem of morality. (Oct 2006)

Bush erred in failing to renew assault weapons ban. (Oct 2004)

Ban semi-automatics, and more possession restrictions. (Jul 1998)

Voted NO on prohibiting lawsuits against gun manufacturers. (Jul 2005)



I too was floored that he thought it was ok for retired cops to ccw, and the states and cities thing. The rest sucks though.



An unarmed citizenry is a submissive one. The 2nd amendment wasn't talking about f-ing hunting.

Answer 8

because of Attorney General Eric Holder's recent announce me that Obama plans to revive the gun ban and make it permanent.



As a presidential candidate, Barack Obama deliberately and repeatedly lied to America's 90 million gun owners across the country when he insisted that he would not try to take away anyone's firearms

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB4ew09eoeQ&feature=related



Obama "knew he was lying to the nation because his own website touted his plan to revive the gun ban and make it permanent."

Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder that the president will seek to reinstate the ban on semi-automatic firearms, said Obama "knew he was lying to the nation because his own website touted his plan to revive the gun ban and make it permanent."

the problem is it will only affect law abiding citizens, not the criminals who will continue to arm themselves.

Answer 10

Pretty much because people know that sooner or later Obama will attack the First and Second amendment rights of everyone who disagrees with his Socialist Point of View.



Better to arm now while you still can.

Answer 11

IF it is happening, there are four possibilities.



Obama becoming president is causing the gun and ammo sales.



The gun and ammo sales are causing Obama to be president.



They are both caused by a third agent (like, for example, the recession)



They are unrelated.



Note: you cannot establish a statistical correlation with one data point.

Answer 12

This is happening because "Every " American is not blind to what is coming because of Obama. The American spirit will survive, but this country may not.
