Franken Win Raises Angst Among 2nd Amendment Advocates

After the defecation hit the impeller the Department of Defense has changed its mind about not selling once fired small arms brass to American reloading companies and will now do so rather than pay to shred it and then sell it to China.

Just the continuing rumor of the nonsensical move by the DOD has sent ammunition purchases through the roof driven on fears of unavailability, rationing; skyrocketing costs and a general fear by shooters of Obama’s plans to have been lining up for hours to buy whatever ammunition that was available and almost at any costs. But this appears to be a momentary victory for 2nd Amernment advocates.

There is still no definitive word on Obama’s desire to put a 500% tax on each cartridge. Angst has grown among 2^nd Amendment advbocates since far left anti-gunner Al Franken has been seated in the US Senate giving Obama/Pelosi a fillibuister proof majority.

A July 2, 2009 Rasmussen poll reveals that 57% of American citizens believe gun sales are up over the past several months because of widespread fears that the government will tighten restrictions on gun ownership.

Twenty-three percent believe gun sales have risen due to concerns about rising crime. Twenty-one percent are not sure. The poll also revealed that 63 percent of male Americans and 51 percent of women believe gun sales are linked to concerns about Obama’s new gun control schemes. Another finding is that 65 percent of Republicans and 66 percent of those not affiliated with either major political party think booming gun sales are connected to fears about increased government restrictions.

Americans realize that despite all of the campaign rhetoric, Barack Obama and Congressional Democrats led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are waiting for the right moment to spring new gun control measures,” Alan Gottlieb said on behalf of Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.  ”There is little doubt they would like to renew the ban on semiautomatic sport-utility rifles, place limits on the number of firearms someone may purchase, and maybe institute some kind of licensing and registration scheme, as Pelosi hinted during an appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America. Wherever these measures have been tried on the local level, they have invariably failed to prevent or reduce violent crime. The Clinton gun ban failed. One-gun-a-month schemes have failed.

“How many times do you have to fail at something before you reach the inescapable conclusion that your plan isn’t going to work?” he questioned. “The Rasmussen poll affirms that Americans are waking up to the Obama-Pelosi agenda, and they are stocking up for what they think is an inevitable attack on gun rights.”
