Mad rush on gun purchases ahead of an nObama win

Americans have cut back on buying cars, furniture and clothes in a

tough economy, but there’s one consumer item that’s still enjoying

healthy sales: guns. Purchases of firearms and ammunition have risen 8

to 10 percent this year, according to state and federal data.




Several variables drive sales, but many dealers, buyers and experts

attribute the increase in part to concerns about the economy and fears

that if Sen. Barack Obama

of Illinois wins the presidency, he will join with fellow Democrats in

Congress to enact new gun controls. Obama has said that he believes in

an individual right to bear arms but that he also supports

"common-sense safety measures."
