Up in arms
YAKIMA, Wash. — Dick Strunk is buying bullets in bulk.

The gun enthusiast recently had to use both hands to heave a case of ammunition off the sales counter at Bestway Pawn Mart. It's 10 times his usual amount.

He's stocking up. These days, ammunition is expensive and sometimes hard to find.

"Our fear is, we're not going to be able to come here and buy," says Strunk, a 52-year-old agricultural equipment salesman from Yakima.

Beneath his forearms a sign taped to the glass display counter spells out the cause of his worry: GET YOUR GUN'S NOW BEFORE OBAMA DOES.

Fueled by fears that President Barack Obama might tighten firearms regulations, guns and ammunition sales are shooting through the roof.

7. As a matter of fact, they're just designed to portray gun owners as assholes.
It isn't working.
