Jesus man...

I met a guy one time who told me he would walk around in the city and look for those little wheel balancing weights they put on tires. Apparently people knock them off a lot when they parallel park. Pure lead anyway.

Yeah, you crazy rednecks better watch out, Obama and the Democrats are going to come take your guns....Faux News says so.

Yeah the guy starts a thread w/ a cut 'n paste w/o any of his own commentary. Well Pleasant? What is your take on the article of scared white people buying up a bunch of ammo?

The Obama administration’s schtick about a “post-racial” presidency is mere public relations salve and pap for our weaker brethren. It is the product of a changing electoral calculus that will run against us in the long term. Underneath the surface, the sweet words of “Hope” and “Change” segues into millions of non-Whites seething over their racial grievances.

Their real agenda is “Get the White Man.” As with Van Jones and Rev. Wright, it comes out in their more candid moments. This will become clear in the years ahead when Obama’s successors don’t have to cloak their anti-White programme in the disguise of euphemisms like “Universal Healthcare” and ”Green Jobs.” At that late date, legions of Uppity Whites will be the only force around to restrain the Minority-Majority. That’s what comes after conservatism.

Uppity Whites

Uppity Whites?

I can't say for sure for what's fueling the all this purchasing. I can tell you what I see when I go to the range. They tend to fall into three groups.

I see old military guys, cops, and gun enthusiasts like me. We're always around. We were there before Obama got elected. We bring the same stuff and tell the same stories. Maybe once in awhile we bring a new one, or rent something we've never fired, but mostly it's a lot like fishing. Admittedly there's a couple of these folks come off as a little paranoid. (There's this one jewish guy. I hate getting cornered by him. He's always got the latest on why I should be afraid.) But, on the whole, good people who just enjoy their guns.

Then I see new gun owners. Guys or gals who just bought a new pistol or maybe even a rifle. They just want to make sure they've got one, and know how to put a round through it. For what ever reason. Be it Obama, or a story they heard, or maybe they know someone who got raped or attacked. They've all got their reasons. Some just want to try it out. Incidentally, a lot of these folks are black, despite your sarcasm. They went with a buddy or family member and it was fun. So they decided to give it a try on their own. Some of these eventually become regulars. But most are there for the sake of saying they have one and know how to use it.

Then there's the oddballs. He's never fired a gun in his life, but he's decided today is the day. "Everybody needs to learn to shoot a gun," he says. "It's just a matter of time before the shit hits the fan. We gotta be ready." Ok, I think to myself. I'm ready, now please stop pointing that loaded .45 at me. "Barrel up buddy!" I respond, and then move two lanes down.

I can tell you this. The first group has gotten a little bigger. But the second and third group are the ones causing the shortage. People are worried. They don't like Obama, or the government, or society on the whole. I don't blame them. And while you may think it's funny. In the end, for whatever reason, they are all Americans exercising their Second Amendment rights, and that's just fine with me.

I don't know where you got the idea that I think its "funny". I just pointed out that you pasted a story up w/ no opinion of your own concerning it until about when I made my post. I'm a gun owner, a vet, and a Liberal. Why were'nt you guys "concerned" when Bush was throwing money out the window Hmmm?
