Obama/Congress as gun salesmen. Outstanding!! Too bad its one of the only bright spots in the Obama world because it flys in the face of his ideological narrative.

Its amazing how paranoia can boost sales and reduce advertising costs

Especially when the rumor stems from a gunsmith's blog.

Obama isn't out to ban all our ammunition and guns, Castle. Jesus-****ing-Christ.

Yes that's nice as far as the topic title is concerned- and I wasn't disputing thta part. But where does it quote Obama as saying that he wants to ban all our ammunition and guns? It doesn't.

I concur.

Well really they've never been anti-gun for all weapons. Things like assault rifles and semi-automatic high-powered rifles (like AR-15s) and the like they have been against. I see what you're getting at though.
