This was news to us.

According to this Associated Press video, there’s been a big run on guns in the last couple of months and especially since the election of Barack Obama Tuesday.

The stated fear is that he will somehow go along with a large congressional Democratic majority on new firearms restrictions, despite the Illinois senator’s professed campaign support for 2nd Amendment rights.

Watch this video. Then let us know what you think? Are you stocking up on weapons? Ammo? Do you know people who are? Do you think this is a legitimate threat?
