Author Topic: Pre-Election Democrat Gun Worries? (Read 1734 times)

Somebody in some thread mentioned something about planning to speed up some gun purchases in case a more restrictive Democrat majority is elected in 2008.

Who is seriously worried about that possibility? If so, what sort of gun purchases would you make now that you think might be restricted if Democrats go back to their traditional tighter gun controls?

Worried? Hopeful.

This has happened before, and retailers are jumping for joy at the surge of panic purchases just like they did last time.

Remember the large capacity mag ban? That was a wonderful example of feel good do nothing legislation along with the "assault rifle" crap. No impact on anyone but the law abiding in the country.

You like that idea ehh? Every time Great Britan enacted tighter gun controls their crime rate went up right after.

unfortunately... the hi cap mag ban is still in effect in a few states.

Mall shootings by muslims will help gun sales as will democrats being elected.

democrats and muslim terrorists are equally dangerous to me with the edge in real quantifiable danger going to the democrats.

I'm not real worried about getting anymore guns. I already have a decent collection.

What I see becoming a problem will be getting ammo for them. That's what I'm stocking up on.

I don't have time to worry about the federal level. That circle jerk is already moving full speed ahead in ILL at the state level. We will have the honor of being the most restrictive state on the 2nd in he union, I believe. Filp of a coin for passage this year, with no indication of a grandfather clause.

False. Crime has fallen since the last major change in firearms laws in 1997.

Ours is one step away from being repealed.

All we are waiting for is our Republican Gov. to sign it. The bill passed its last hurdle in the Hawaii Senate last Thursday. A bill introduced by a Democrat by the way. He's even a NRA member. Imagine that.

star... if he is one of the 1% who will consitently vote against more gun laws then I am happy for you but... he is a democrat and he will vote with the other democrats when push comes to shove.

I realize that there may be some minor exceptions but not enough to trust any democrat with important things like human rights and the constitution and electing judges and such.

he will break your heart if you are still naive about democrats.

Lazs, its not a matter of being naive. I realize the Democratic PARTY has swung far to the left, and has been there for decades. That does not mean there arent conservative Democrats out there who vote their conscience and not the party line, who are NRA members, and who believe in the Constitution. And while they are a minority in the party, its something we want to see changed. Hope is not naive.
