Gun retailers continue to report record-high sales since the re-election of President Obama,but Second Amendment advocates say any moves by the White House to restrict access to weapons ultimately is in the hands of the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
Larry Pratt,executive director of the firearms lobbying group Gun Owners of America,told WND that because the House holds the purse strings,Republican members have the power to rein in any executive orders by Obama to control guns by blocking funding.
“We lost the presidential election,but if the Congress,in fact,has its own mind,then we can do some things with that,” said Pratt,who has directed the 300,000-member GOA for more than 30 years.
Meanwhile,gun-store owners across the nation,such as Jim and Joy Pruett of Jim Pruett’s Guns and Ammo in Houston,Texas,say sales have gone “through the roof” since Election Day.
“We haven’t been able to keep up with it,” Jim Pruett told the Houston Chronicle. “It’s beyond our wildest imagination.”
Pratt quipped that “nobody is taking down the picture of the president from their gun-store walls – the one with the caption ‘Salesman of the Year.’”

An unknown blogger made this list. Does anyone really believe they will be able to get anyone's guns?
There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin .
Allow me to restate that number:
Over the last several months,Wisconsin's hunters became the eighth largest army in the world.
More men under arms than in Iran .
More than France and Germany combined.
These men deployed to the woods of a single American state,Wisconsin,to hunt with firearms,and no one was killed.
That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan 's 700,000 hunters,all of whom have now returned home safely.
Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it literally establishes the fact that the hunters of those four
states alone would comprise the largest army in the world.
And then add in the total number of hunters in the other 46 states.It's millions more.
The point?
America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of home-grown firepower.
Hunting…. it's not just a way to fill the freezer.. It's a matter of national security.

That's why all enemies,foreign and domestic,want to see us disarmed.
Food for thought,when next we consider gun control. Have A Great Day!

Overall it's true,so if we disregard some assumptions that hunters don't possess the same skills as soldiers,
the question would still remain…what army of 2 million would want to face 30,40,50 million armed citizens.
He asks YOU to copy and paste this to send out to your friends….(IF YOU AGREE,AS I DO,PASS IT ON,I FEEL GOOD THAT I HAVE AN ARMY OF MILLIONS WHO WOULD PROTECT OUR LAND AND I SURE DON'T WANT THE GOVERNMENT TAKING CONTROL OF THE POSSESSION OF FIREARMS)
For the sake of our freedom,don't ever allow gun control or confiscation of guns.
