60 Minutes - Increase in gun sales show
Here we go again!!! Another show, three days after the travesty from Diane Sawyer.
60 Minutes will discuss Sunday night April 12th the increase in gun sales. And of course the lovely Senator Feinstein will be interviewed as well.

(CBS) The California senator who authored the nation's now-lapsed 1994 ban on assault weapons says she will hold off trying to renew that ban.
Dianne Feinstein (D.-Calif.) tells 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl that the political timing isn't right and she will move to renew the ban at a future time of her own choosing. Feinstein appears in Stahl's report on the increase in gun sales taking place in America to be broadcast this Sunday, April 12, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
Asked by Stahl if trying to renew the assault weapons ban would start a culture war and pose a distraction for an already overburdened Obama Administration, Feinstein replies, "I agree with you." "So you are going to hold off?" asks Stahl. "That's correct. I'll pick the time and the place, no question about it," Feinstein tells Stahl.
But even if she pursued the renewal, the votes may not be there today in either the Senate or the House. Both Houses of Congress gained pro-gun Democrats this past election, some of whom won the support of the National Rifle Association. "I am not going to disagree with that at all," says Feinstein. "The National Rifle Association essentially has a stranglehold on the Congress."
Has Congressional leadership or anyone from the Obama administration influenced her decision to put off the fight for renewal of the assault weapons ban? "No. Nobody said a word to me," Feinstein tells Stahl.
Feinstein appears in Stahl's report on the increase of gun sales in America. Stahl talks to gun enthusiasts who tell her Americans are buying more guns now, in part, due to fear of impending social unrest as a result of the financial meltdown.
Philip Van Cleave, president of the Virginia Citizens Defense League, a pro-guns advocacy group, explains: "We're being told all the time that, ‘The economy could just collapse and we could fall into chaos.’ Well, chaos is a good reason to be able to protect yourself… You could imagine if we truly had a collapse of the economy and it was hard to find food, those that did manage to hang onto food-might…find themselves in a precarious position.'" Van Cleave tells Stahl the other main reason is fear of potential gun control under new President Barack Obama.
That liberal show has not been seen in my house for many years.
I can't see what good they would ever do for gun owners at any place in time.
It's WELL PAST time for news people to report news or end up like the Gun Grabbing Globe.
Report what's real or flip fucking burgers. I don't care.
Why don't we pass a law that bans weapons bans?
A ban on bans.
Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?!
If I were the NRA I'd put 100% of the $ into lobbying for passing a ban on weapons bans.
Libtard: "Let's fight against all these guns!! Let's ban them!!!!!"
Non-Libtard: "I'm sorry... but gun bans have been banned."

"There can be no "balance" between public safety and civil liberties.....the two don't have anything to do with each other. Public safety is dealt with by catching and punishing criminals after a crime has been committed, not preemptively infringing on the rights and liberties of people who have done nothing." -Finallygotbeltfed
It's pretty apparent that Feinstein and her cronies will hold off on any dramatically restrictive new gun legislation only until their toadies in the media have sufficiently softened up the public with a relentless barrage of propaganda and misinformation.
It's clear that the polls are not on their side, but sentiment is close enough that they believe that that opinion can be shifted. And the liberal stooges in the pressrooms are already hard at work shaping, and shifting, opinion. Witness the recent 20-20 hit piece. There will be more, and it will be relentless.
We will lose this fight. It's only a question of when. They got Obama into the White House. They figure Americans will fall for anything. The people just need a little more ... softening up.
Funny thing. Ammo seems to be a bit scarce these days ...
Yeah, Obama voters, liberal voters, all those infiltrator turds who post here are welcome. This isn't DU, or any such left wing outlet that eliminates contrary points of view. But to you liberal Obamabots, I hope you'll understand when I hock a big, gross louie right in your fucking eye the very first time I see you. You wrecked our country.
"Oh bother", said Pooh, as he chambered his last round.
I agree with theGringo. Just wait until there are few more psychopath shooting rampages, and a few more 20/20 and Nightline specials on how evil guns are, then you'll have your bans and confiscations.
Trust me. If history is any indication, this will happen. And the Great American Experiment will be over.
In Liberty,
Mike
"I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am President, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." -- Senator Barack Obama on October 27, 2007

What if the American people learned the truth?
They did, more than 200 years ago - it's called the 2nd amendment...Originally Posted by Hanwei
It is also the reason we are (were?) a Republic and not a Democracy so that the mob could not vote the summary execution of everyone who didn't agree with them...
That's where we are now - no matter how absurd, irrational and unconstitutional, if it gets 50.00001% it passes...
This isn't how it is supposed to be...

Well said. I have held the opinion for some time that the America I grew up in is lost forever. I only hope that when the Libtards finally take it down that some real justice gets visited upon them when the opportunity arrives.We will lose this fight. It's only a question of when. They got Obama into the White House. They figure Americans will fall for anything. The people just need a little more ... softening up.

The Liberal Fascists may win in the end but it is our duty to make that victory painfully expensive to them.
All these news reports about increasing gun and ammunition sales are driving gun and ammunition sales through the roof.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
"I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves."
--Ronald Reagan
Don't buy guns and ammo! That's what they want you to do!

'''They'll''' say what they may and to a unquestioning audience.
