"What you see is gun owners getting ready for a civil war"

Watch the video debate here.

Forget the bravado.  Check out this passage from an article on Bob Owens blog.  

The customers in the shop were picking through what remained; lever-action rifles, oddball shotguns, and the smattering of name-brand centerfire pistols. One man was attempting to trade in an antique double-barrel shotgun for something more current.I did speak to one harried clerk, briefly.They didn’t know when they’d be getting anything back in stock, from magazines to rifles to pistols. Manufacturers were running full-bore, but couldn’t come close to keeping up with market demand.It wasn’t just the AR-15s, the AK-pattern rifles, the M1As, and the FALs that were sold out. It really hit me when I realized that the World War-era M1 Garands , M1 carbines, and Enfield .303s were gone, along with every last shell. Ubiquitous Mosin-Nagants—of which every gun store always seems to have 10-20—were gone. So was their ammo. Only a dust free space marked their passing. I’ve never seen anything like it.Every weapon of military utility designed within the past 100+ years was gone. This isn’t a society stocking up on certain guns because they fear they may be banned. This is a society preparing for war.
They don't know what they're about to unleash in Washington.  They have no idea at all.

SIDENOTE:
The letter below is making the rounds of the right wing blogosphere accompanied with the caption...are the Republicans about to sellout gun owners.  Even more troubling is the fact that I heard on FoxNews tonight one of the analyst say that he spoke to a Senior Republican and asked him flat out...will you some Republicans vote for a gun ban and the answer was yes.  We might be in some trouble men.  Write your Congressman.

  2. i have no idea but if they actually push through ANY type of ban then its lights out. i'll walk away and vote third party or no one. its not like my vote is influencing anything as it is but this will be the final straw.

  3. God its fun to see the gun nuts get their panties in a twist ....

    I have nothing against guns, I've been to a few wars, but my emotional attachment to gun is about the same as I have for electric drill or hammer its a tool, not the thing that defines my manhood ...

    1. If you think this is about assemblages of wood, plastics, and metals you don't get quite get it.

    2. The fact that it would even occur to you that it defines manhood speaks volumes about you.
