stlhead-
I've come across some hush-hush inside news that Obama is gonna make a move against Maker's Mark (muslims aren't allowed to have alcohol). So much for your swine flu poison!

Yup. One day I will have all of the guns and rule the world. And then there will be peace as long as you are obedient. And NPR is so passe. I get cell phone calls......the mission is code named The Bourne Obama.

I don't want anyone's guns being grabbed by anyone, whether they be mine or Andy's...and just as much I don't like seeing the constant whining and crying by the gun nuts that someone's after their guns, especially when they clearly are not...
The fear mongering is the most detrimental part of the whole story...and it is always coming from the same group of folks, the ones who think we're going to become socialists, that Obama is a Muslim, and that Saddam Hussein actually had WMD's...idiots, all of them.
The NRA preys on those folks, and if it wasn't for fear the NRA wouldn't have anything to sell at all.
At least it's good for the economy that all the fear mongers and whiners are running out to stock up on guns and ammo for the forthcoming gun grab fantasy.

the only ones talking about gun grabbing are you and stlhead...dogfish just put up a funny picture...pull yer head out
Like it or not, there are some, including Obama that would LOVE to take guns away from law abiding citizens.
And you wonder why people don't take your opinions too seriously.
The whole "increased sale of guns and ammo" is directly related to nutjobs thinking the gubment is about to take their guns. You really think the idea of "gun grabbing" is something being furthered by the "liberals"?
It's the same as the other mantra that the GOP is currently spewing "Obama has raised your taxes". It's from the Rove handbook of political strategy....the infinite loop of repeating untruths often enough and they become truths in the minds of some.
step 1: Repeat GOP party message step 2: If asked for facts perform step 1

There is no shortage of facts out there to support my contention that Obama wants to take peoples guns away. Unlike your claims.
Yes, Aunty, he wants to go around take them from you. That is what he wants. In fact, he would "LOVE" that.
I'm not exactly sure what "claims" I made? I guess I could find 3 from my last post:
1. (Most) people don't seem to value your opinions. 2. Increased gun/ammo sales is related to fear that the ability to make those purchases will fail to be an option. 3. Stocking up is not being done because "liberals" are talking about it.
This is why I barely read the dark side and post here even less.

Exactly!!
They knew this would happen from experiences gained during the Clinton years. So why would they do it again? The answer comes from thinking globaly.
As I suspected; Obama is really no different than any other politician that has lead this country. First clue was the increased troop level effort in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Hmmmmmm were already stretched pretty thin around the world.
Our economy is in the toilet.
World opinion of the US is low.
Taking these three things into consideration; it seems we could be seen as vulnerable. How do you send a message loud and clear to those who might use this vulnerability against us?
Easy! Threaten gun legislation and the public will arm themselves to the f@$#ing teeth. We would have the best insurgancy the world has ever seen. You know 2nd amendment, militias and what not.
