Gun Sales Increase In South Dakota
SIOUX FALLS (AP) — Some South Dakota gun shop owners attribute recent increases in sales to worries that President-elect Barack Obama’s administration will tighten gun laws.
The owner of Gary’s Gun Shop in Sioux Falls says he’s had “an uptick” in sales of semiautomatic rifles and handguns.
Some customers say they’re buying those firearms out of fear they will be illegal after Obama and a Democratic-controlled Congress take over in January.
Gun shops nationwide have reported increases in sales since the election.
As a senator, Obama supported a ban on semiautomatic weapons and tighter restrictions on all firearms.

" The FREEDOM TO LAWFULLY BEAR ARMS
DID YOU KNOW--that after this election THE COALITION TO FIGHT AGAINST THE ACLU won't be able to serve WE THE PEOPLE anymore because of lack of funding because most American's don't know that the ACLU hates, this nations freedoms and country and flag and constition and SOVERIGNTY?
DID YOU KNOW-- that now Obama with the ACLU wants to kick the REPUBLICANS OUT OF DEPT OF JUSTICE leaving this country at the mercy of the DEMOCRATS AND ACLU whom think AMERICANS ARE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO GOVERN THEMSELVES???
DID YOU KNOW that when Ayers and obama were working in schools together what happened to the 60,000.00? They didn't teach children how to learn, instead they tried to radicalize the children?
Let's see now, the DEMOCRATS DON'T think American's are SMART enough to GOVERN themselvs preferring to make American's servants in their own Nation to someone else.
DEMOCRATS DON'T think American's should have a VOICE in how to raise their children and how they are educated.
DEMOCRATS DON'T think Americans should have the FREEDOM to speak up for themselves thru the right to petition thru lobbying.
Here is a man whom built his career with a lifetime of amicable ties to terriorists and YET
DEMOCRATS DON'T think Americans should have the FREEDOM to lawfully bear Arms and to defend themselves or to defend OTHERS.
DEMOCRATS DON'T like our FLAG, OUR CONSTITION OR OUR ALLEGIENCE.
Now they want FULL CONTROL of our SECURITY and JUSTICE DEPT leaving Americans vulnerable.
People, Americans need to NOT leave WASH DC alone LEGALLY AND LEGISLATIVELY until everyone of our freedoms are iron clad protected.
Prior to election we had to constantly report that our posts were not POSTED on DIFFERENT sites because they were not PRO-OBAMA and to the present the problem persists so we had to file with the justice dept because our FIRST amendment rights were being infringed upon.
Feel free to cut paste and print and visit that web site because once they are closed AMERICAN's have no one to SPEAK for WE THE PEOPLE--not just the right to bear arms but all freedoms. "

" Gee Pedro - What ever happened to your self-righteous policy of not attempting to smear somebody personally by name-calling?
Apparently your self-perceived constitutional right to butcher up unborn babies and marry your gay partner are worthy of self-described 'reasonalbe discourse' while another's actual constitutional right to bear arms being threatened is worthy of smear tactics. Nice. Back to the rotary press comrade. "

" The second amendment is sacrosanct. It is important to remember what position our founding fathers were in when they wrote the constitution, that of traitors to the crown. Governments should be afraid of their citizens, and as long as a person has not violated the rights of others, they should have whatever weapons they want.
Translation: You don't get to ignore the Constitutional Amendments you don't like. "

DID YOU KNOW that the ACLU--wants to usurp the US nation SOVEREIGNTY to have the USA be governed by UN or something OTHER than the WE THE PEOPLE, OF THE PEOPLE AND BY THE PEOPLE?
NOW THE DEM WANT TO TAKE AWAY our freedom to bear arms.
See for yourselves at the site call---Coalition to fight against the ACLU --people there is even litigation stuff on this item.
DID YOU KNOW--that the REPUBLICANS have said many times to them to stuff a sock in it because the soverignty of the US is not open for negotiation, or debate or infringment because this Nation is SOVEREIGN AND governed only by WE THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE AND OF THE PEOPLE.
DID YOU KNOW---that the ACLU doesn't think PARENTS are SMART enough to have a say in how their child should be educated and what they should be exposed to in SCHOOLS?
The ACLU has been going around to schools and telling kids they should NOT WANT to join the service or DEFEND their freedoms or their country etc. HOW did they get found out WE some kids have PARENTS whom belong to the COALITION TO FIGHT AGAINST THE ACLU and the kids told their parents. "
