Gun sales surge after Obama's election

I was considering buying a gun if Obama didn't win.

They've been covering the gun-buying frenzy pretty heavily here. That included interviews with people buying handguns who said things like, "I've never owned a gun, but I thought I should buy one while I can." WTF? If you've always wanted an assault rifle, now would be the time, because the odds are the assault-rifle-ban will be reinstated, but nothing else is remotely politically possible. Some people were citing the "guns and religion" quote, but by that logic, they should be buying up all the religion too.

I got good news on my beagle's (Fenris) paw. He somehow ripped out an entire claw Friday and the vet said it looks like it is healing okay on his follow up visit today.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Back in '98 or so, my crazy religious right-wing aunt sent me a letter telling me I should buy guns, because Clinton was gonna take away all our guns by 2000.

I don't understand people. Today in particular, I don't understand how people who consider themselves religious Christians would want to go out and buy guns because they are afraid of whatever it is they are afraid of. Prince of Peace, people! Not Prince of Turn The Other Cheek, and Then Hit 'Em With Your Firepower!

The Democrats-hate-guns association is really strong for some people.
