Today Show - "Guns topping Christmas lists thanks to terrorism concerns, fear over restrictions"

http://www.today.com/news/guns-topping-christmas-lists-thanks-terrorism-concerns-fear-over-restrictions-t63321

"The convergence of fears over terrorism, a perceived threat of gun laws being changed and the Christmas holiday have sent gun sales soaring in what is already the busiest month of the year for firearm purchases.

Guns are at the top of many Christmas lists, especially if November is any indication.

Last month, the FBI ran more than 2.2 million firearm background checks on potential buyers, a 24 percent increase from November 2014. On Black Friday, a record 185,345 background checks were processed by the FBI.

That increase coincided with the coordinated terrorist attacks at multiple sites in Paris by ISIS gunmen on Nov. 13 that killed 130 people and wounded 368.

Weeks later, on Dec. 2, an attack on a holiday party in San Bernardino, California, killed 14 and injured 17 others."


Will someone be sure to tell these people that they are all "stupid gun humpers", "ammosexuals", a danger to everyone, etc.. Make sure they understand they are held in contempt by many people in this party and tell them we don't want their stinkin' votes anyway.

At least that seems to be the way a lot of folks here express themselves on the issue.

I was in Academy Sports & Outdoors last week, and the guy behind the counter preparing the handgun display had just finished 2 mins before store openning time, and looks up to see four people already in line. They all purchased a handgun(s).

All those people lined up to look at or buy guns aren't good enough for us. Or so I've been told.

Somehow though, "magically" we'll win back all those governor seats, the house and senate, not to mention all those state legislatures with pout the "ammosexuals" that are spending like crazy to buy guns.

I expect to hear the sour grapes crowd telling us "Well, they'd never vote for a Dem anyway", in spite of the fact that we do.

But hey, who needs a few million gun owning voters, right?
