I get more frustrated everytime I walk into a gun shop. The rumors and lies being told to nudge, if not downright push, someone into buying a gun or ammo would be amusing if it wasn't so appalling.
I went into a large sporting goods store this evening to get a touch-up marker for an SKS I'm fiddling with. As I walk by the gun counter I hear one of the nimrods behind the counter telling a customer "Obama said he wouldn't take our guns and he won't, but he is going to take our ammo." That's funny, I didn't know I had such a plugged in guy working in the local gun shop. And, it must be a burden to have such knowledge and insight at such a young age (probably 21 or so).
When I walk into a shop I want to look at guns. I want to BS about guns. We can even BS about the political climate. I enjoy all of these things. What I don't want to see or hear is an ill informed knucklehead putting forth rumor as fact in order to make a sale. Tell the customer that Glock or Taurus or whatever other gun you like is the best lead slinger that man has ever been blessed with. Just cut the political commentary. That, as much as anything, has fueled the current panic.
I was so agitated that I didn't even get my touch-up marker. Dang it.
