Stereotyping spread by whom?
He's probably referring to me
Anyhoo, since some of you follow politicians every move so closely you might of notice that liberals are traditionally anti-gun and conservatives pro-gun. Of course (and I shouldn’t have to point this out) there are exceptions to every rule including this one.
I have noticed more liberals buying guns and taking somewhat of an interest in them since the Obaminator took office in January ’09 when we had the gun ban paranoia thing for a while. Some of them actually feel passionate about their 2nd Amendment rights since then and that will cost Obama some votes this November.
I’ll add that Barack Obama created and unintentional windfall for the firearm and ammunition industry in the early half of this term. Guns, ammo, and even reloading supplies were selling faster than they could be restocked. Any gun shop worth doing business with had a full parking lot ALL day for the first few months.
Still, though, most all of the devout gun people are conservative and most liberals are still anti and I can’t see that changing significantly because of the principles and philosophies of both sides.
Okay, someone elses turn to be offended by me.

Nothing offensive about having an observation. But just because conservatives purchased fire arms out of blind paranoia that "the Muslim terrorist attending a black nationalist church" was going to seize their guns doesn't mean that every gun owner fell for that lunacy.
And how do you know many - if any - Democratic gun owners scrambled to buy guns when Obama had been elected president?

I admit there was paranoia but very few of my fellow gun nuts that I actually know or I saw a reason for it. Once the hoarding started, though, it spread and then everyone had to jump in there just to get what they would have bought anyway before it was gone.
The concern wasn’t that the Muslim terrorist that attends the black nationalist church was going to seize anything but of impending legislation that would over-tax ammunition or make future transfer of certain firearms illegal or difficult.
As it turns out, though, nothing ever came of that legislation.
The seizure thingy was more of a concern for a relative few gun people but I’m sure MSNBC or CNN made it out to be widespread.

Umm……I know some of them so it stands to reason that if I know some of them that there were more than just them buying guns. As an example, one of the foulest liberals I know bought at least a Springfield Armory .45 and quite probably one or two after that.
Next.......

Is there a religious component? Is anyone stashing away guns for the "upcoming apocalypse?"
