http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/01/12/ca-gun-show-draws-10000-people-getting-ready-for-the-next-revolution/What drew an estimated 10,000 people to a Northern California gun show? Simple. According to one attendee, theyre scared.
Obama wants to take everybodys guns away, said Bob Daziel, who stood in line with hundreds on Saturday to get into the Crossroads of The West event in Daly City, California. So theyre down here buying ammo, buying guns, theyre getting ready for the next revolution.
Organizers told KGO-TV they were surprised at the record turnout, believing it to be spurred on by the recent discussions headed by Vice President Joe Biden regarding gun safety.
It was constructive dialogue, said Bob Templeton, the events president, who attended the meetings this week between Biden and members of the firearms industry. But I think they had their minds made up when they came in the meeting.

(36,437 posts)In any case, all these "look at how many guns people are buying" stories are meant simply to dissuade us from doing anything about this public health crisis because, well, "it wouldn't matter anyway." The gun nuts are whistling past the graveyard - so to speak. Move forward with stringent legislation, and we'll see how they crow about their packed gun stores and shows.

(32,342 posts)The story is up on Stormfront, so I guess we can infer what really prompted this excitement here in normally sane NorCal. I'm also going to guess a lot of out of towners made a special trip here to the Cow Palace.

(2,959 posts)All I've read or heard is the event's organizers spewing that figure. Since in most events at the Cow Palace the State of Ca gets part of the gate I'd like to know if the CP officials will verify that figure. I do not believe anything gun proponents or right wing shills tell me.

(62,521 posts)fear and stupidity are their best marketing tools. Best of all they don't have to lift a finger to push either one of those things. The right wing willfully carries their water.
