Interesting how quickly the right-wing forget Obama did things like allow weapons in Federal Parks that Republican Reagan banned. And gun sales are at an all time high - clearly any new laws hasn't stopped the market but instead appear to have encouraged it.
That's one guess. Though history of gun buying sprees show that some people are simply crazy paranoid. Y2K gun buying frenzy was a recent good example there.American gunowners also know what is about to happen and home protection is a must when welfare no longer is enough to survive on as the inflation tax destroys the US fiat currency.

Vast majority of gun owners I know are rock solid sane. Now a few Progressives that I know, OTOH, is an entirely different story.
I caught some new show called Doomsday Preppers last night. It highlights different people preparing for end of the world scenarios. One of the families highlighted were NE liberals. They had canning, farming and a lot of things pretty good, but they refused to keep any sort of guns or other weapons. When it was pointed out that when shit really hits the fan they will need to protect what they were storing, their answer was that they would win people over with love and kindness (paraphrasing). If/when shit hits the fan, they will be soft targets taken out quickly for their reserves.
Unless, with love and kindness, they can win the help of some people who don't know how to grow and store food but who are pretty good with guns and have them.When it was pointed out that when shit really hits the fan they will need to protect what they were storing, their answer was that they would win people over with love and kindness (paraphrasing).

When the US Military has rocket launchers, unmanned drones, tanks, nukes is love and kindness any more effective than that pea shooter of a 30-06? Neither one is particularily comforting.When it was pointed out that when shit really hits the fan they will need to protect what they were storing, their answer was that they would win people over with love and kindness (paraphrasing).

Now we have paranoid folk afraid of the black guy in the oval office.
Because race is still a divider in America today. One cannot understand America unless they understand all the issues in our past and still on our plate. Minnesota is fairly racist but nothing compared to my experiences in the Southern US.Why are you so fixated on race?

I feel sorry for the guy but perhaps he should learn some gun safety.
I'm all about moving our society to the founding principles that 'all are created equal'. I'd love to live where people are judged by the content of their character and results of their deeds. However the suggested giving up the intolerance of the intolerant bigotry in the land is not a solution, it's cowardice.Then it's time to get over it already. We have a future we have to scrape together and that means all able body hands on deck. Only by working together will the past be washed away with the future.
every time I hope American will grow up some of them prove how stupid and petty they are.I'm all about moving our society to the founding principles that 'all are created equal'.

Not saying those bad words all the while THINKING them is not going to get rid of racism. I WANT people to admit their racism/sexism. I WANT people to admit their bigotry. They can hold on to it if they wish but I hate it when they deny it.
