"Purchases of firearms and ammunition have risen 8 to 10 percent this year, according to state and federal data." - CBS NEWS/Washington Post

CBS News/Washington Post article shows what many people already knew. Each year things get more and more tense between the two parties. More divisive. As this continues it is not long before there will be severe civil unrest.

The Democrats won't go along with any idea that is brought about by a Republican, likewise for the Republicans. You have had the get out the vote thing going for several years, but nothing like what we are seeing over the past few elections. It isn't about getting the information out any longer, it is about just getting people to vote.

As this becomes more and more divisive, people are beginning to protect themselves. The economy is going down, jobs are being lost, retirements are disappearing, and people are scared. You have a Democratic Nominee who wants the Government to provide for everything, Republican Nominee that says work hard and you will be rewarded. It is two chains of thought that have the American People picking sides.

Is it any wonder that as people are losing money and times are getting hard, that gun sales are up 8-10%? Common wisdom tells you that with an Obama Presidency and Democratic Congress that the days of Gun ownership may be numbered.
