Seems like while it was never an issue for me, this bank crisis does seem to be motivating some after all. Thought it was baloney at first, but the times are a changin'.

[Cold Zero]

It should.

Yes.

When times get rough, people turn to Gold and Guns
to make themselves feel better.

When the crisis passes, they sell the Gold and Guns
at a reduced rate and continue on to the next crisis.

Economy is down, the people are buying up guns, ammo, and mags. I think some could view this as some type of indicator of the dissaproval and unrest of the people. But I dont know shit about politics, economics etc... So this is just my .02$

This is a common theme among our nation. As long as it remains this way, we will continue to have the worst people represent us, and lead us.

This is a common theme among our nation.

And why the idiot masses are easily duped into voting for a peckerhead who couldn't even pass a basic background check for mall security.

Um fellas!


The media is making up this argument as a ploy to steer the mindless masses away from concluding (rightfully so) that we are buying guns because of Obama.

Don't fall for the Bad Economy=More Guns logic...

I think that people buy guns during times of uncertainty. Whether that comes from Obama( which is my biggest concern) or the economy, it is just what people do when they get worried
