Obama win triggers run on guns in many storesPHOENIX (Reuters) - Sales of rifles, pistols and ammo are surging in parts of the United States, as many gun owners fear President-elect Barack Obama's administration may seek to tighten ownership of certain weapons.
"The day after the election, I had many more calls than usual from people looking for semi-automatic rifles," said David Greenberg, the owner of the Second Amendment Family Gun Shop, in Bisbee, Arizona, who sold out of AR-15 rifles in recent days.
"There seems to be a fear they will be banned, and it's fairly likely," he added. "Obama and Biden are driven to eliminate firearms from the face of the country."

One can only dream... With total Democratic control of House, Senate, and Executive Branch, it would be perhaps the only chance the US has. Let gun nuts challenge this in the Supreme Court - then we can determine the true interpretation of the "right" to bear arms in the US.
I think Americans would find there isn't a real "right" to bear arms...
Hopefully Obama, Biden, et al act on this measure.
