Or "We are from the government and we are here to help."
Words speak louder than actions and BO has already made it perfectly clear through his actions that he is no friend to those who value their 2A rights.
It is not "panic buying" when someone who makes Bill Clinton look like a "Centrist" takes Office, it is the realization that the new administration plans on sticking it to the American public (again).
I have been "stocking up" because that Leftist is clearly going to go after our Rights as soon as he can.
I am hoping that by making more appointments of centrists and not "progressive liberals" he is realizing the scope of the task ahead and preparing for it. Personally the only real selection I am worried about is Attorney General. The part of the article I read seemed like there is a lot of panic buying and I certianly saw that at the last gun show. Why is the question? Obama cannot enact any legislation by himself and any AWB or other legislation would take a bit to get passed. Just stay informed and try to contact your representation to make sure your opinions are known. The elections over so make the best of it.
I guess it is just wait and see at this point.

Obama said at a news conference. "Lawful gun owners have nothing to fear. I said that throughout the campaign. I haven't indicated anything different during the transition. I think people can take me at my word."
Yep, I'll take him at his word, problem is, I've seen it before. "Lawful gun owners" have nothing to fear, what he doesn't say is HE gets to decide was is, and what is not, a "lawful gun owner".
BO decides to ban semi-auto's, and you own semi-auto's, guess what, until you hand them in, you're not a "lawful" gun owner anymore (in his eyes) so the "nothing to fear" comment doesn't apply to the likes of you.
Seen it before, I'm Australian

Seriously, its the best excuse to give to my Rabid Republican wife to buy guns I've ever had.

Or "...Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!..."
We must be vigilant and make sure that The Joyce Foundation, The Brady Campaign and others do not have marionette strings on our new President.
I am ever hopeful...but Hope is not much of a strategy.

How about the truth?
"Law-breaking gun owners have nothing to fear, and will soon have even less to fear."

It sounds to be that he is already trying to SPIN the RKBA issue before doing exactly what he wants to do.
Listen.
PR guys DO NOT go around CREATING issues for themselves. They REACT to what they perceive as a problem-- usually when evidence has already been shown that there IS a problem.
It isn't the job of the PR guy to "rock the boat."
Obama (and any other politician) are quinessential PR guys. Obama also has a team of advisors who are ALSO PR guys. You just simply do not go around creating problems for yourself.
Being "proactive" is the buzz-word in PR as well as most industries. To PR, proactive is quickly recognizing that a problem exists and taking effective action to meet and dissipate that problem.
It simply does not deviate from that model.
Obama realizes that he has a problem in his RKBA camp. This may be a issue of image (best case scenerio) or an issue of this being something that hampers his Gun Control agenda (more likely scenerio.)
Either way, this is GOOD. This is the first indication we've gotten since the election that indicates that he sees us as a PR or political threat DURING his presidency.
This is the time to maintain and increase pressure on this administration.
I repeat
This is the time to maintain and increase pressure on this administration.
But you may ask yourself... how can *I* maintain or increase pressure on this administration?
Well, I am glad you asked.
First, join your State and National RBKA associations. They need all the help and members that they can get.
Second, Send a letter to EVERY Representative and Senator in your state. It doesn't matter if the Representative is for your district. You may even wish to send on to your government. This letter should state your views on the RKBA issues and Gun Control. If you have trouble writing a letter, go to the activism forum and many of us will be happy to help you.
Third, follow this letter up with a phone call. You probably won't get past the gate-keeper, but be ready to leave a message.
Fourth, follow the phone call up with an e-mail stating the same things that you sent in the letter.
Now get 10 of your friends or family to do the SAME thing. If they won't take the time to write, ask them if they would sign it if you wrote the letter. If so, send the same one that you sent for yourself. Most people don't take action because they are lazy or do not have the time. DO THE WORK FOR THEM!
Congratulations. You just became pressure.
EDIT: Stay tuned for a VERY vocal and visible activity that you can do to help make our voices known. No... nothing illegal. I will be announcing across many forums a time that I will call for everyone to contact Washington at the same time with the same message. Time and Date will be announced this week.

I think the question is...if he is so pro 2A why would he tell (or even care)if people are buying gun?
Yes folks we already know the answer to this question...'most of us thinketh he protesteth too much'

Firearm sales are the only current ECONOMICS advance
America is in for a "shelling" in 2009. Protect thine own a__, because POLICE PROTECTION is minutes away. I think Police Protection is ADMIRABLE, if often a minute too slow to arrive. Please relieve the police forces' quick response by arming yourself. ALSO be responsible by LEARNING how to use your piece properly. NRA classes, available nationwide, will help immensely. cliffy

"Lawful gun owners have nothing to fear..."
...until the law changes
...until the law changes
Statement:
Intended and veiled political meaning by anti gun group:
An Assault Weapon Ban will still be effective because it is not the average American that will already own them, it is just more gun people that already had one anyways. So we can still make a difference and should pass one regardless of these massive sales increases.
Every official statement that comes out of the Brady camp has a political agenda. That is the meaning of that statement.
They want to make the politicians that would do the banning think its just a small number of people who already have them buying more. If it was people that did not already have them buying them, then it would make another ban far less effective at limiting additional law abiding citizens from aquiring one after the ban. So a ban would make less "sense" from an anti perspective.
If it is just people who already have them buying more, then the number of people effected by the ban that do not already have them would be greater. Meaning the ban would be a "success" in thier eyes at keeping the majority that do not already have one from ever owning one.
Know your enemy.

Exactly. You can't easily control an honest man, so you change the laws to make him an outlaw.
"...Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with...." ('Atlas Shrugged' Ayn Rand 1957)

This quote from the Brady Bunch'
and this from hussein's transition web site Pretty much what he had on his election cycle web page, and deleted it.
this leads me to believe that he is lying through his teeth. The one thing he should have expected, the vast purchases of guns and ammunition, will make his job of disarming America more difficult.,

Oh ok, Mr. Obama.
The people buying guns never trusted him in the first place, why would we believe him now?
I wonder what this world he lives in is like?

With all due respect, I will be stocking up the ol' armory, despite what Obama says.
Yep. That's why.

Of course he's gonna say that. In the current economy, "normally" the president would point out the rays of hope, areas that are doing well. "Great job, gun owners, you're keeping the ammo and gun manufacturers afloat. Keep it up!" But he can't say that, because his past actions clearly show that he is anti-gun and wants to ban them, so now he's thinking "crap, now there's even MORE guns out there in the hands of the people!" :banghead:
