People are out buying guns at record paces because they want to exercise their 2nd Amendment right and put fear into the government. The only way a democracy can succeed is if the the government fears the people, which is the precise reason why we have the Bill of Rights in the constitution.
The initial rush for firearms was the fear that Obama will push for stricter gun bans and raise ammunition taxes. Now the rush for guns is to take back our country and demonstrate to our the stubborn and incompetent elected leaders that we as the American people mean business and that we will not tolerate a government usurping our power.
People are buying as many weapons and as much ammo as they can afford, and rightly so. The Constitution is what makes are nation great, and the people are just showing their support of our country and Constitution (not the support of liberal socialist leaders).
On a satirical note, here is a thought on how Barack Hussein Obama can turn around the economy and solve the entire economic crisis: have him use his “common sense” control of the auto industry (as he declared his “common sense” gun control) since automobiles kill more people than guns. Then you will see droves of people scampering to buy up automobiles. And abracadabra; the big 3 are sitting fat again. No need for a stinkin’ government bailout.

I really hope that the health care plan proposed by The House does not go through unless some revisions are made. A reform as huge as this one deserves as thought as we can afford.
