Gun sales see record Black Friday

The elephants in the room, of course, are the demagoguing and fear mongering about Obama, his Presidency, liberalism/progressi​vism, and the changing "color" of America.  We have millions of Americans espousing, considering, or not refuting Birtherism, an openly delusional attempt to delegitimize the Obama Presidency.  We have an NRA whose spokepeson, Wayne LaPierre, expressed a far fetched and insidious delusion that Fast & Furious was some type of Obama conspiracy to discredit the 2nd Amendment.  We have the chairperson of a major House Committee, Rep. Issa, publically repeating the delusion before he heads the House investigation into Fast & Furious (notice what little press was given to their findings... no "conspiracy").  It is no coincidence we see increased memberships in militias (mostly white), White Power groups, Neo-Nazi groups and the KKK.  It is telling that a legitimate, democratic victory for Obama would spark secessionist petitions with the most signatures coming from States that were formerly part of the Confederacy, formerly home to Jim Crow.

As Walt Kelly said through Pogo, "We have met the enemy and he is us."  The majority of American voters cast their vote for Obama.  The majority of American voters cast their votes for Democratic Senators.  And interestingly, it appears a slight majority of American voters cast their votes for Democratic Representatives but Republican redistricting after 2010 successfully denied Democrats parity if not a majority in the House.  You do not see Democrats arming themselves and threatening secession over this.  Food for thought.

All the Right Wing Nuts STILL THINK that Obama is coming, to take all their guns away (and, to give their white wives to black men,  etc. etc.).   In addition, the Doomsday Preppers (who MAY - or may not - have different motivations) are taking seriously, the faulty Mayan Calendar, which many believe indicates the end of the world on 12/12/2012. 

All a bunch of damn nonsense.  Of course, this will run the prices through the roof, and ammo sales will also boom (no pun intended).    Gun STORE owners will reap the benefits.....more power to them.   Before your families are eating Cheerios for dinner (with NO milk),  remember this:   God gave each of us TWO HANDS.   Once you've got about 10 guns,  you cannot even carry them all, much less hold more than one in each hand.   If you could,  our soldiers would go into battle, with an M-16, a SAW, an M1A1,  a .50 BMG sniper rifle, and a 279 Grenade launcher, with 100 pounds of ammo for each....but, of course, this is not practical. 

THIS, from a lifelong gun owner, and Obama voter.   Everybody take a breath.  Calm down.  Nothing's going to happen.

Obama is not trying to take guns away. Just because he supports a ban on so called "Assault Weapons" and I own one, doesnt mean he does not support peoples rights to have other firearms.

Reading all the comments from parinod delusional and mentally ill people on here makes me think that taking away some guns might not be a bad idea!
