At the Owl's Nest Gun and Bow in Pohatcong Township, gun sales are up at least 20 percent over last year, which highlights a trend that's unfolding across the country.
Owner Jim Heebner said sales began to spike at the Owl's Nest before the presidential election. Some buyers want firearms now because they are afraid President-elect Barack Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress soon will make it more difficult or expensive to buy guns or ammunition.
On the campaign trail, Obama said he supports Second Amendment rights, but a spokeswoman for the National Rifle Association, Rachel Parsons, said her organization does not trust his record and called his votes "anti-gun." |

TO REMEMBER |
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
