"When some of my friends have asked me anxiously about their boys, whether they should let them hunt, I have answered, yes - remembering that it was one of the best parts of my education - make them hunters."

Henry David Thoreau, 1854

'gun salesman of year'

From: The Deseret News


What do you get when you add a faltering economy with Obama change?

Increased gun sales, for one thing.

Ever since Barack Obama was elected president in early November, Americans have been stocking up on guns and ammunition in unprecedented numbers.

Speculation is that the increased sales are driven by a
nervous populace

The numbers at "Get Some" reflect statistics recently released by the FBI that show that background checks for prospective gun buyers nationally went up dramatically over the last quarter of 2008. The number of requests climbed 42 percent from November 2007 compared to November 2008 and 24 percent from December 2007 compared to December 2008

There are reasonable concerns that Obama and the merry crew of Democrats now in Washington will try to limit the citizen's rights to gun ownership.

The main reasons people are buying guns is they no longer trust their government and are preparing for racial or civil war. Like it or not, that's the truth.
