Gun Sales Soaring After Elections

Published by gene9156 at 1:36 pm under Author Articles Edit This

It may be Christmas time, but  that’s not whats causing gun and ammunition dealers across United States to run out of stock and see sales doubling.Gun owners accross the nation are afraid that their rights of gun ownership will be threatned. Limits were placed on high-capacity clips and hand-guns, not to mention semiautomatic assault weapons under the presidency of Bill Clinton. The assault weapons ban became law in 1994. When it expired in 2004, President  Bush did not reinstate it.

The FBI is reporting that criminal background checks required to purchase a gun were up Forty One percent for  compared with the same period last year, and up forty nine percent the week that Obama was elected.The rise in firearm purchases since the election prompted the president-elect to reassure gun owners during a press conference a week ago that he won’t take away their weapons.

“I believe in common-sense gun safety laws and I believe in the Second Amendment,” Obama said. “And so 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.”

But more than that, people do not feel safe at this time. They fear both the government itself and those who would seek to exploit others weaknesses, as the economy ceases to function correctly, jobs are lost and less food is available to those in need, crime rates wil surely soar.

The government has repeatedly lied to the people of the nation and now it appears to being seizing control of the financial systems, which has all the makings of a failed system. Words such as socialism and communism are flowing on talk radio and in social circles, as people are beginning to realize that the United States may not survive as we know it.

Rumors have been circulating for two or three years now, of the possibility of a one world government, backed by one currency and/or a hybrid north American currency, thus dragging down the United States as a national entity and stripping the country of status.

Adding to this, has been unchecked immigration and the minimalization of workforce pay and benefits, as many states adopt an “employee at will” doctrine, which essentially strips employees of any type of rights or due process when they speak out against injustice in the workplace, and face termination for the smallest of infractions. The end result being the destruction of the middle class and the inihaltion of a free market economy.
