Sales of assault weapons surge in Maryland, gun sellers say

Followed by extensive comments, some quite good.

Wow sales are surging in MD? Way to go NBC. Welcome to December 2012.

There are some good comments there but One thing is for sure, there are some truly ignorant peoiple out there and they are voting. I urge everyone to not give up this fight. Counter any B.S. comments you see. Don't let them have their say on news sites, Facebook, Twitter or anywhere else. I'm sure I've lost a few friends over this (and other political rants) but who cares? We need to take anyone to task who will spread the lies and misinformation.

I have no fools as friends. Either they get unfooled or they get unfriended. And not just on facebook, which I don't use.

Sorry, neither the title nor the author of the article were mentioned in that thread so search did not reveal it.

Edited the post. No worries. Just that if you don't know about it there are some good posts there as well.

Not mentioned in the text either, no way to know it was a dupe whatsoever unless you had read the original thread.

No need to be sorry about this one at all.

I work with someone in the middle ground and I constantly keep him updated about MD and national 2A issues. He is slowly getting the picture and I think he might consider his first purchase soon. He is a DE resident but I keep tellling him to consider buying now because his state will be next. The fact that he votes independent and has libertarian views is a good factor. On the side of the spectrum, ill never forget the time back in december I was talking to my father about my recent purchase of a R700 in 30-06, and my sister chimed in with "Ugh.. Why would you want that!" Did I mention she is a hippie vegan.. It's sad when you gotta unfriend your own family over 2A issues.

As Mark Levin, says "it's not called the Bill of Needs."

People should educate themselves before opining on something they are ignorant about.

No insult to the Vegan hippies intended.

When my non-gun-owning family and friends are asking me about "what they should buy before the ban", you know there's a panic buy on.

(I always tell them a stripped AR-15 receiver.)

Why not? That's always fun. I for one am a card carrying member of PETA.

People for the Eating of Tasty Animals!!

I saw a billboard in of all places LA that said:

There's room in this world for all God's creatures. Right next tom the mashed potatoes and gravy !

It's just one of many unintended consequences of gun control. It achieves the opposite of its advertised benefits. I haven't decided if they're just stupid, or if this is their intent. Honestly I think they're just preying on the ignorant to increase their power.

I have no fools as friends. Either they get unfooled or they get unfriended. Facebook LOL, That's something which neither my 13 year old son have.

I fixed it for you.

I was thinking the exact same thing. You mean to tell me that the last 5 months of panic buying was just a fluke and had nothing to do with sb281 or any other fed. Law being passed possibly lol. Mainstream news sucks!

 

[NeverSurrender]

I saw a billboard in of all places LA that said:

Ha! Since it's hard to argue facts with liberals it's fun to say things like this just to piss them off. One of my favorites for the environmental extremists is a quote from Rush Limbaugh "The most beautiful thing about a tree is what you make out of it after you cut it down". Some of them stutter and can't speak after hearing it.

The panic buying that would happen is the excuse that Cuomo used to explain why NY SAFE needed to be passed in the middle of the night, as an emergency bill.

At least that was not done here.
