Monday, December 31, 2007 Bhutto, JFK, and Conspiracies by Jacob G.

Apparently gun owners are concerned that President-elect Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress will enact bans on semi-automatic weapons and ammo. Of course, that begs the question: What do they need all these weapons and ammunition for? Well, one reason for the increase in demand might be simply the forbidden-fruit concept.
