Oh brother. There is one thing and one thing only that is driving safes and guns: TRUST AND THE LACK OF IT. They no long trust banks, lending agencies and mortgage companies with their money. They don't trust Obama. His off the record statement with regard to guns and religion is the type of relativism that breaks trust in values. Some pepple were listening to what he said, not just how he said it.

The federal government may say they are insuring bank deposits up to $250,000 but these days it is very hard to trust anything the government says. I'd hate to wake up one day to hear the government telling us that they are very sorry, but they cannot cover deposits, and our money is gone. Never thought I would see things as bad as this in my lifetime. What happened to the safeguards? Too many dishonorable people in the world today!

soxconn: You hit the nail on the head. I've talked to so many online and one on one who do not trust anyone in this incoming administration. There are little, if any, checks and balances with such a lopsided Dem majority. I'm just barely old enough to remember the gas lines and the disaster that was Carter's term, but I fear we're headed in that direction again with more at stake than just high energy costs. When it all starts to unravel, we need to have the "tools" and skills to protect what's rightfully ours; the police can't be everywhere and the government has no business in your safe or gun cabinet. I don't want our government to fail; for the sake of our country, I hope Obama and crew can hold it together until we get a better man in office in 2012.

Gotcha' A picture worth a thousand words. It shows a classic used, cheap, low-caliber handgun in a black hand. Are you trying to make a scary political point? Seems so, since "evil black rifles," not cheaply made handguns, are the guns flying off retailer's shelves.

We're no longer "slouching" towards Gomorrah (as Judge Bork put it). We're hell bent, head-over-heels, tumbling as fast as we can towards it. Witness: in our country formerly characterized by individual responsibility, hard work, the rule of law and respect for Constitutional principles of limited government, we now have a society with no sense of shame, a populace with an entitlement mentality, politics of victim identity, the death of journalism (2008), and a Marxist president-elect.

"Big Boy": a moniker worth a thousand words. Are you trying to make a racist point with that name? See? Two can play your game. Read the freaking caption to the picture. It refers to DC: where the resident (not commuter) population is majority black (US Census data, 2006). Race will continue to matter only as long as people like you continue to stir the pot. You read ***way too much** into a simple picture.

When H talks about spreading the wealth around, I understand what he says. I understand that he is working up a frenzy amongst those who have not, and if he doesn't give it to them fast enough, perhaps they'll take matters into their own hands. In which case my guns, my safe and my gated community is what stands between me and a mob that resembles something from Mogadishu. I don't want to fill out a police report on how I was a victum, I'd rather fill out the police report on how I shot the s.o.b. that tried to take what is mine.
