Sales of handguns, rifles and ammunition have surged in the last week, according to gun store owners around the nation who describe a wave of buyers concerned that an Obama administration will curtail their right to bear arms.And who else would be riding the crest of this retail surge but none other than Our Town's own former unfunny radio "personality" turned gun dealer:
“He’s a gun-snatcher,” said Jim Pruett, owner of Jim Pruett’s Guns and Ammo in northwest Houston, which was packed with shoppers on Thursday.Why do we get the feeling that Sr. Pruett was one of those "reverse Bradley Effect" voters?“He wants to take our guns from us and create a socialist society policed by his own police force,” added Mr. Pruett ... of President-elect Barack Obama.
Mr. Pruett said that sales last Saturday, just before Election Day, ran about seven times higher than a typical good Saturday.

Obviously fear and apocryphal stories are good for business, at least in Pruett's case. He should also market homeschooling kits to help shield children from the coming forced kindergarten gay sex education.
I've got $10 that says Pruett and those like him perpetuate those stupid email chains.
