1. Could be people are scared.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

16. Scared that the evil Obama is going to take away their right to be stupid.

[NightWatcher]

2. Gotta hurry up and get some more guns. 2 reasons:

1. Obama's gonna come take em away now
2. Need to carry one all the time so I can shoot the next would be mass killer

[bunnies]

18. Yep.

a rush on guns was tragically predictable.

[MotherPetrie]

3. (NRA management to each other: It's working!)

[Arugula Latte]

4. This country sucks. Plain and simple.

[hrmjustin]

5. It would be interesting to know if they are buying them because of the fact they are scared, or

if they are just gun nuts that want more guns.

[MotherPetrie]

6. Same difference!

[hrmjustin]

7. Yes you have a point.

[jorno67]

9. I thimk tjey are scared....

Of tougher gun laws.

[Democracyinkind]

8. Maybe people returning their guns?

Sad that it sounds so impossible... Just imagine...

[Skittles]

10. massacres make the cowards come out en masse

[eShirl]

11. Xmas shopping, every place is packed

[underpants]

14. Yeah- Saturday before the last weekend

my in-laws hunt so guns are a regular part of Christmas there.

[jorno67]

15. it wasnt ever close to this last year

[rurallib]

13. it is so american to profit from tragedy

bastards.

[democrattotheend]

17. This is why I don't think the president should call for gun control unless/until he has the votes

to pass it. Otherwise all it will do is drive up gun sales and donations to the NRA if he gives them any reason to claim that he is after their guns.

[bunnies]

19. IMHO, all the gun shops should have closed for today.

In a sane world, that move would be a no-brainer.

[bkkyosemite]

20. This is the NRA through their conpiracy goons to

make those that are gun nuts (having numerous high powered large magazine type guns) say OMG our guns are going to be taken away we must get as many as possible or we won't be able to get any later....have many of them unregistered betcha from those gun shows.

It's a mentality...don't you dare take our guns away and we are gonna get more and more because you are after our rights and our guns...I'm so sick of this. It's time to jail all those without background checks and proper registration and take away the ammo that kills in seconds tons of people. Unbelievably assinine.

[etherealtruth]

21. A bunch of gungasming ass-holes

... perhaps they have realized that the sane and rational have said: enough is enough

[SummerSnow]

22. Fear of their guns being confiscated ..

They heard Obama's speech. They translated it to "I'm coming for your guns boo boo "
