Change You Can Believe In !!!!!!!!1

November 23 08

Barack Obama imagines he can reverse the rise of the oceans, but another rise - for which he can genuinely claim credit - seems unstoppable:

.. South Dakota: "Gun shop owners attribute recent increases in sales to a concern that President-elect Barack Obama's administration will tighten gun laws."

.. Florida: "Gun sales are going like gangbusters . the sales of assault rifles here have at least tripled."

.. Louisiana: "Business has been booming. Gun sales have been up, ammunition sales have been up from the day of the election."

.. South Carolina: "Firearms and ammunition sales have surged."

.. Pennsylvania: "Assault weapons especially are big sellers."

.. Nebraska: "Permits have already surpassed the combined totals from 2006 and 2007."

.. Tennessee: "Consumers are flocking to gun shops."

.. Kentucky: "Sales have gone through the roof!"

.. Wisconsin: "In the first two weeks of November, gun sales and background checks nearly doubled."

.. Mississippi: "Gun sales are up tremendously."

.. Maryland: "Sales are going very well . Sales are going so well some items are now virtually unavailable."

.. Connecticut: "Since the election, gun sales have gone up by 50 percent."

.. Nevada: "Not only have rifle and handguns sales been brisk, but ammunition has also been a hot commodity."

.. Texas: "The big seller has been the AR-15 . recent sales have been to doctors and lawyers."

.. West Virginia: "Our business is up 80%."

.. Hawaii: "Gun sales are off like a shot . While sales of handguns have increased, more buyers are also picking up semi-automatic firearms."

.. Maine: "Howell's Guns and Archery Center in Gray reports selling 12 AR-15 assault rifles in a week."

.. Arkansas: "This year sales are up by about a third of what they normally would be."

.. Utah: "Local gun shops have seen their sales skyrocket in recent weeks."

.. Alabama: "Since the election, ammunition and gun sales have really taken off . I've never seen anything like this. It's unbelievable."

.. Illinois: "Gun sales in Jacksonville and South Jacksonville have increased dramatically since the Nov. 4 election."

.. Arizona: "Ever since the presidential election gun sales have been going through the roof nationwide and here in Tucson."

According to gun-control logic, this rise in gun sales - the FBI reports a 49 per cent increase in background checks following the election - should cause a corresponding rise in shooting deaths.

Let's come back to this story one year from now.
