When 10-year-old Austin Smith heard Barack Obama had been elected president, he had one question: Does this mean I won’t get a new gun for Christmas?

Last month, as an Obama win looked increasingly inevitable, there were more than 108,000 more background checks for gun purchases than in October 2007, a 15 percent increase. And they were up about 8 percent for the year as of Oct. 26, according to the FBI.

No data was available for gun purchases this week, but gun shops from suburban Virginia to the Rockies report record sales since Tuesday’s election.

“They’re scared to death of losing their rights,” said David Hancock, manager of Bob Moates, where sales have nearly doubled in the past week and are up 15 percent for the year. On Election Day, salespeople were called in on their day off because of the crowd.

I have news for President-elect Obama, this isn’t your big city, its small town Americans that love their hunting. Yes people if we go by Obama’s past gun voting record he will try and put many more controls on gun owners.  We will be lucky to be allow to own a gun at all.  Looks like we’re headed in the same directions as London where they have no guns except for the outlaws!  We better keep up with what congress is doing and be ready to contact our congressmen!
