323. This is seriously the best you've got?

1. Very few gun owners want to overthrow or defend themselves against the "evil" government. That's a narrative that gun grabbers have been using for a couple decades and have been consistently proven to be false and just a method by which gun owners and enthusiasts can be marginalized.

2. Gun sales SURGED under Clinton after the AWB began to be proposed and considered. The statistics are clear: people wanted to buy the firearms they wanted before they were restricted. High capacity magazine sales also surged.

3. Why would sales be high under *? He did not run on a platform of gun control, rather was clearly against gun restrictions. Something Al Gore and John Kerry both supported.

This has absolutely nothing to do about race. If it makes you feel better to jump up and down and say it does, then there isn't much logic or facts are going to do to convince you.

This is about people knowing that President Obama is a gun control advocate and having a feeling that when the time was in his favor, he would make a push for gun control.
