GRAND JUNCTION — John Faulkner and his wife, Brenda, thought Wednesday was a good day to buy a handgun.

"I'm 37 years old, and this is the first time in my life that I am really scared for our future," said Faulkner, an oil field worker, as he perused the collection of weaponry in A Pawn Shop here.

At Aurora's Firing Line gun shop, Steve Wickham was also purchasing. "Anything I can get my hands on," he said as he cradled a $699 9mm handgun.

Same thing in Lakewood: "I was selling guns before I even opened the door," said George Horne, owner of The Gun Room. "It's gone completely mad. Everyone is buying everything I've got on the shelves. Sales have been crazy."

Since the KKK is out in Michigan I figured I'd post this to show scared the "crazies" are. I don't want to harp on the McVeigh connection but let's just say I sure hope that the Secret Service has been beefed up and undergoing rigorous training. The right keeps harping on how we're now vulnerable to attack by Al Quaida. I say the next terrorist attack will be domestic terrorism.

1. I saw that report on tv today

So retailers in general in the US are expecting low sales. But the gun owners are doing a roaring biz.

We live near The Gun Room in Lakewood.

3. That's wonderful.

Don't forget the matching Kevlar vests.

What a lovely way to get the economy rolling.

Spend it all, you fools.

5. sounds to me like their consumer confidence is taking an upswing

go out and buy, purchase, whatever- Barack isn't going to take their guns, they're just pumping money into a stuck economy- it'll make the retail figures for the holidays look a little better - freaks.

6. You know what would be funny? If the first thing Obama did...

... was propose a "tax holiday" for ammunition purchases every year during the week before deer hunting season starts.

Just to make them all look stupid, right off the bat.

8. I like the way you think!

9. In any case, he should do something radically pro-gun on day one.

Just so they'll know they've been sold on a straw-man version of who Obama really is.
