Just how much have the 'libs' done to encourage gun ownership in this country?

[Sinixstar]

The next question I'd ask, were I one of TPTB, is "What, exactly, are all these people planning to do with all this hardware?"
It has to make you wonder...

This may prove to be a case of "careful what you wish for"...
I don't know about you - but the thought of thousands of new novice gun owners with AR's in their hands, is not exactly the most settling feeling.
It's great more people are getting interested, and taking a stand with their wallets - but we do have to consider some of the implications down the road. Educated shooters with a respect for what they're doing are not the problem, and pose very little ammo for the "anti" crowd. Uneducated shooters who lack that respect could create a firestorm.
We need to do everything we can to make sure the newly initiated act responsibly - or this surge in ownership could easily backfire.

There is alot of fear out there right now and it is right that there should be with the econmy tanking and a new government taking over. The direction this all goes is speculation now and I don't believe the public has alot of confidence. Guess we will see what happens. :banghead:

The liberal agenda has influenced me to be way more active in my gun buying than I ever would have. This is directly related to the concept that my freedom is not theirs to take away. You should have seen the run on 20 and 30 round mags here in California before the stupid 10 round limit went into affect in 2000. I even sent my "representatives" a thank-you note saying in effect that, if not for their anti-gun policies, I would have never needed to buy them.

I have friends that have firearms I can't buy, simply because they bought them back in the day and I wasn't forward thinking enough to realize someday I wouldn't be able to (not to mention lack of money). If that doesn't frost your a$$ I don't know what will.

If anything, its good that people are buying more guns. As always, people in the USA vote as much with their dollars as they do with their votes, and vote more actively with their Franklins, Washingtons, and Grants then they do with the ballot. Hopefully, this will make the politicians take note that "the right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed" and that the American people have spoken.

I'm not that worried.
There are some stupid people running around but they'd be just as stupid with Ruger Blackhawks or Marlins.
Or with lawnmowers for that matter...
