Ruby Ridge was an ATF setup to get Weaver to be a puppet. Note, no charges stuck against Weaver, and his family was killed.
The evidence in the Waco incident is pure conjecture, just like what currently happened with the hutaree.
Bottom line: Clinton had an anti-2A agenda, and so does Obama (proven by Fast and Furious).
I think I just want more... The election doesn't help though, I wish I would've stocked more ammo last year.

Gun and ammo sales are running away lately. I see it as two fold; the ecomony is in the trash can and the idiot that is in office right now, no one trust him.
Except for the assault weapons ban, not sure how you're equating the rest of those with gun rights.
My .02;
In the past couple months I personally know 5 people who bought their first handgun. Everyone of them said they were/are going to be for self-defense due to the high rise in crime and they didn't even feel safe in the home anymore.
Which is funny because crime has been steadily decreasing for the last decade or so, even while the perception is that it has been increasing. Blame the 24-hour news media that stretch every little incident into days and days of hyperbolic baloney so they can keep your eyeballs glued to the screen so they can show you a couple more commercials.
I've had a couple of old guns for a long time but never did anything with them. I just caved into my gun lust in January and bought my first modern pistol (great G4 G22), and have been on a buying blitz ever since. I decided to cave in partly because of Wollard and the real possibility that Obama may get reelected and try shenanigans like "assault" rifle ban or worse. We know the Attorney General has rabid hoplophobia and refuses to seek professional treatment. What will a lame duck liberal President do? If they succeed, this may be my last opportunity to indulge my engineering passion for the simplicity and power of a gun.
I also believe it is my duty as a US citizen to uphold the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
That means voting, serving on juries, and keeping and bearing arms to defend this country against enemies of the Constitution, foreign and domestic.
(And I'm sure some of you saw MIT researchers recently released a study predicting global economic collapse by 2030? That ought to bulk-up the ranks of the SHTF'ers. )
Where did you get that from? Have you not heard the increase in robberies and assaults in our area?
Tap,I too had only pulled my guns out occasionally the past few yrs. (hunting season).The last modern gun I bought was around 98' (until I found this site and got in on the 1911 group buy).
Since then I've purchased a few more than I "needed" to but was financially able to do so.I guess I kinda re-kindled my hobby into something more as I've gotten older.
