Second Amendment zealots are not letting the bad economy stop them from buying guns. According to a news article published on Saturday by The Telegraph/UK, gun shops across the U.S. are having a heyday selling rifles and pistols to those afraid President Barack Obama may take away their right to bear arms.

The Telegraph’s article findings may have something to do with the rhetoric National Rifle Association leaders are using to fire up their members. The NRA is going around the country setting up meetings and urging members to fight for their guns at all costs.
“Are you ready for the tough fight ahead we’re gonna face to keep our freedoms?” said NRA’s Executive Director Wayne LaPierre to a room packed with members in Phoenix. “Because considering what our freedoms are going to be up against we all need to be ready,” he said as people cheered.
The NRA is using news media interviews against high level politicians to “expose” the threat they present to the Second Amendment. Playing short news clips of Senator Dianne Feinstein, Attorney General Eric Holder, President Obama, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton being interviewed on various TV networks, LaPierre cautioned NRA members of the “the damn lies” that “keep coming” and that will result in banning guns in the country.
