Wal-mart has been selling guns where I live (Michigan) but not everywhere here.
Down in the city they have not sold them for years, hell you could not even buy a damn air rifle in one a while back.
Slumping sales as an excuse? More like supply and demand, they are losing money by not selling guns; and losing customers.
Wait for the freaks, they will come out over this; you know, the ones who hate Wal-mart no matter what.
BBC
Wal-Mart has said it will soon bring back the sale of firearms, including rifles and shotguns, at more than 500 of its US stores.
The retail giant stopped selling guns at hundreds of its 3,600 US stores in 2006, citing slumping consumer demand.
But a spokesman said guns would return to the shelves as "part of the overall push to bring 8,000 products back".
Thursday's news comes two months after Wal-Mart announced a seventh straight quarterly decline in US sales.

Death toll in Yemen ammunition plant rises to 150
Yemen is a country where carrying firearms is a national passion and guns outnumber the 24-million population by nearly three to one.
Nice, that means about 70+ Million Guns on the streets of Yemen.
So why are these people controlled by Al Qaida and the Militants like them?
Stupidity?
The National
ADEN, YEMEN // The number of people killed in a massive blast and fire at an ammunition plant in south Yemen that was looted by al Qa'eda has shot up to 150, a local official said on Tuesday.
The final toll for Monday's explosion at the plant near the town of Jaar has reached "150 dead and at least 80 wounded," Ahmed Ghaleb Rahawi, sub-prefect of Jaar in the southern province of Abyan where the blast took place, said.
Around 20 women and several children were among the dead.
It was still uncertain whether the blast was an accident or caused by militants.

Breyer: Founding Fathers Would Have Allowed Restrictions on Guns
Nice! I guess we can expect to see a spike in second amendment Challenges For the next few Years.
Lock and load people, It is going to be a bumpy ride!
Speaking about James Madison..."was worried about opponents who would think Congress would call up state militias and nationalize them. 'That can't happen,' said Madison,"
Therefore all the more reason to give us the full right to Keep and Bear arms Jackass!
Foxnews
If you look at the values and the historical record, you will see that the Founding Fathers never intended guns to go unregulated, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer contended Sunday.
Appearing on "Fox News Sunday," Breyer said history stands with the dissenters in the court's decision to overturn a Washington, D.C., handgun ban in the 2008 case "D.C. v. Heller."
Breyer wrote the dissent and was joined by Justices John Paul Stevens, David H. Souter and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. He said historians would side with him in the case because they have concluded that Founding Father James Madison was more worried that the Constitution may not be ratified than he was about granting individuals the right to bear arms.
Madison "was worried about opponents who would think Congress would call up state militias and nationalize them. 'That can't happen,' said Madison," said Breyer, adding that historians characterize Madison's priority as, "I've got to get this document ratified."

U.S. Army Unveils 'Revolutionary' XM25 Rifle
With explosive rounds that can be detonated right in front of or behind their intended target the Taliban will not be happy about these guns.
Foxnews
Since the dawn of modern warfare, the best way to stay alive in the face of incoming fire has been to take cover behind a wall. But thanks to a game-changing "revolutionary" rifle, the U.S. Army has made that tactic dead on arrival. Now the enemy can run, but he can't hide.
After years of development, the U.S. Army has unleashed a new weapon in Afghanistan -- the XM25 Counter Defilade Target Engagement System, a high-tech rifle that can be programmed so that its 25-mm. ammunition does not necessarily explode on impact. Instead, it can be set to detonate either in front of or behind a target, meaning it literally will go through a wall before it explodes and kills the enemy.
It also has a range of roughly 2,300 feet -- nearly the length of eight football fields -- making it possible to fire at targets well past the range of the rifles and carbines that most soldiers carry today.

Gunbattles Erupt in Mexican Cities Across Texas Border, Stirring Panic
Yep , No Problem here, Things are much safer than what everyone is saying !
Move along My Sheeple !
Foxnews
Mexican soldiers battled gunmen in two cities across the border from Texas on Wednesday, prompting panicked parents to pull children from school and factories to warn workers to stay inside. Assailants in a third city threw a grenade at an army barracks.
The U.S. Consulate in Nuevo Laredo warned American citizens to stay indoors. The statement said there were reports of drug gangs blocking at least one intersection near the consulate in the city across from Laredo, Texas.
The local city government and witnesses reported several more blockades — a new tactic that has emerged in northeastern Mexico, where violence has soared this year amid a split between the Gulf and Zetas drug gangs.
Cartel gunmen frequently use stolen cars and buses to form roadblocks during battles with soldiers. Witnesses in Nuevo Laredo said gunmen forced people from their cars to use the vehicles in the blockades.

Militants break out of Tajik jail
You can't keep an Islamic Militant pinned up for to long .
That's why they should be Killed !
BBC
Twenty-five prisoners, including several Islamic militants, have escaped from a prison in the Central Asian state of Tajikistan, reports say.
The break-out took place on Sunday night in the capital, Dushanbe. The group are said to have killed at least five prison guards as they fled.
Border forces are now on alert.
Tajikistan, which borders Afghanistan, had a five-year civil war between the Moscow-backed government and Islamist-led opposition. The war ended in 1997.
Reports said that the group seized guns and killed prison personnel in a fire-fight before making their escape.
A report from Tajikistan's Asia-Plus news website said that the escapees included Russian and Afghan citizens, as well as members of an Islamic militant group.

Chicago Approves Tough New Handgun Restrictions
So here we go , 4 days after the supreme court says that we as American citizens are allowed to own a handgun NO MATTER WHAT ! Chicago votes unanimously to ban Handguns everywhere but outside your home , including in gun shops !

These little hubs of America that think they can just DICTATE how things are going to be , make me sick !
Foxnews
CHICAGO -- Members of the Chicago City Council have approved what city officials say is the strictest handgun ordinance in the United States.
Friday's 45-0 vote comes four days after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling made it almost certain that Chicago's handgun ban would be overturned. The high court ruled Americans have a right to own a gun for self-defense anywhere they live.
The new city ordinance bans gun shops in Chicago and prohibits gun owners from stepping outside their homes, even onto their porches or garages, with a handgun.

Five Gun Salute . or How to Play Politics with the Constitution
Reading more about this I think I'm in the line of Confused along with many others out there .
Politics is Politics , but WTF ? when you read the 2nd Amendment of the Bill of rights , it is plain and simple what it says ,
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
More specifically the part where it says " the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." Hmmmm Sounds pretty simple to me , but obviously it is not so simple .
and as I said earlier this is not over yet , the liberal ass clowns want a bigger showdown , they are betting on someone like Kagan , to be appointed to the supreme court to further push their agenda of total domination of us Little people .
so in a way we have won , it is our right to keep and bear arms , but it is the liberals right now to also take it away !
Did not Hitler kinda do the same thing ?

US Supreme Court extends gun rights
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
Shall not Be Infringed ! Duh !
It is about time this has been decided , But I bet it is not over .
The BBC
The US Supreme Court has restricted the rights of state and city governments to enforce controls on gun ownership.
The US's highest court ruled by 5-4 that a ban on handgun ownership in Chicago was unconstitutional.
Justices said the US Constitution protected the right to keep and bear arms for the purpose of self-defence.
The ruling could potentially change laws on gun ownership in many of the US states.
Debate over the exact meaning of the constitutional right to keep and bear arms has raged for years in the US.
The ammendment reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
Two years ago, the court ruled a ban on handguns in Washington DC was unconstitutional - declaring that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess guns, at least for purposes of self-defence in the home.
But Washington is a federal city, with a unique legal standing. Gun rights proponents almost immediately filed a federal lawsuit challenging gun control laws in Chicago, Illinois, and its suburb of Oak Park, where handguns have been banned for nearly 30 years.
In Monday's ruling on that challenge the justices said the Second Amendment right "applies equally to the federal government and the states".

Supreme Court Remains Divided Over Gun Control
“A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
Pardon the language ,But This is pretty fucking self explanatory !
well regulated may be considered an issue for some , but really it means nothing More than being kept in check , much like the police , military ,the Government and so on .
So none may rule over the other !
something our Government and some Douchbag lawyers seem to have forgotten !
Just because a person does not like guns , it does not allow them to infringe on my rights , and try to tell me I may not own them !
Who is anyone to say that I may keep and bear arms to protect my country but not myself ?
I could go on , But i need to clean my guns !
the New York Times
WASHINGTON — An unusually intense Supreme Court argument Tuesday showed that the justices remain bitterly divided about the meaning and scope of the Second Amendment. And it suggested that the five-justice majority in the 2008 decision that first identified an individual right to keep and bear arms was prepared to take another major step in subjecting gun control laws to constitutional scrutiny.
The case the justices considered Tuesday was a sequel to the blockbuster 2008 decision, District of Columbia v. Heller.
The Heller case placed limits on what the federal government could do to
regulate guns, and the issue before the court now was whether the Second Amendment applies to state and local laws as well. It seemed plain that at least the five justices in the Heller majority would say yes without reservation.
But the two justices who wrote dissents in Heller, Justices John Paul Stevens and Stephen G. Breyer, peppered the lawyers with questions about how the court might apply the Second Amendment to the states in only a limited way.
Justice Breyer asked Alan Gura, a lawyer for residents of Chicago challenging its strict gun control law, whether the city should remain free to ban guns if it could show that hundreds of lives would be saved. Mr. Gura said no.
Justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote the majority decision in Heller, objected to the inquiry. A constitutional right, he said, cannot be overcome because it may have negative consequences.
But Justice Scalia was less receptive to an idea that has excited constitutional scholars in recent months.
“What you argue,” he told Mr. Gura, “is the darling of the professoriate, for sure, but it’s also contrary to 140 years of our jurisprudence.”
Justice Scalia was referring to Mr. Gura’s assertion that the court has been going about making parts of the Bill of Rights applicable to the states in the wrong way.
The Second Amendment, like the rest of the Bill of Rights, was originally a restriction on only the power of the federal government. The Supreme Court later ruled that most but not all of the protections of the Bill of Rights apply to the states under the due process clause of the 14th Amendment, one of the post-Civil War amendments.
Many judges and scholars, including Justice Scalia, have never found that methodology intellectually satisfactory. “Due process,” after all, would seem to protect only fair procedures and not substance. The very name given to the methodology — substantive due process — sounds like an oxymoron.
Mr. Gura, supported by scholars all along the political spectrum, argued that the court should instead rely on the 14th Amendment’s “privileges or immunities” clause, which says that “no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.” There is evidence that the authors of the clause specifically wanted it to apply to allow freed slaves to have guns to defend themselves.
So does mr Guru , Not like the fact that Freed Slaves were allowed to own guns to protect themselves ?

Muslims Angry Over U.S. Military 'Jesus' Rifles
HAHAHA ! This is Hilarious .
Not the fact that our Boys are shooting at Muslims with Guns that have versus of the Bible on them , but that CAIR has their panties in a bunch over it .
What is the Difference between that and killing in the name of Mohammed and Allah ?
Foxnews
Muslim groups reacted angrily Wednesday after it emerged that the U.S. military is using combat rifle sights inscribed with coded Biblical references.
Army officials have said they will investigate whether a Michigan defense contractor violated federal procurement rules by stamping references to Bible verses on the gun sights used by American forces to kill enemy fighters in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Leave it to my People back in Michigun , to do this ,Trijicon " You guys are Awesome "
The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations on Wednesday said the continued use of the sights with the religious references would send a negative message to the Muslim world.
"The use of military equipment with hidden Bible references sends the false message to Muslims worldwide that we are at war with Islam," said CAIR Legal Counsel Nadhira Al-Khalili. "In addition, these sights are a potential recruiting tool for anti-American forces, endanger our troops and alienate our Muslim allies. They should we withdrawn as soon as logistically possible."

Ammo Sales Spike Continues Months After Obama Elected
And ammo Has Become more expensive Also !
Fox News....
NEW ORLEANS — Bullet-makers are working around the clock, seven days a week, and still can't keep up with the nation's demand for ammunition.
Shooting ranges, gun dealers and bullet manufacturers say they have never seen such shortages. Bullets, especially for handguns, have been scarce for months because gun enthusiasts are stocking up on ammo, in part because they fear President Barack Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress will pass antigun legislation — even though nothing specific has been proposed and the president last month signed a law allowing people to carry loaded guns in national parks.
Gun sales spiked when it became clear Obama would be elected a year ago and purchases continued to rise in his first few months of office. The FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System reported that 6.1 million background checks for gun sales were issued from January to May, an increase of 25.6 percent from the same period the year before.
"That is going to cause an upswing in ammunition sales," said Larry Keane, senior vice president of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a trade association representing about 5,000 members. "Without bullets a gun is just a paper weight."

Obama quitely ends program that let pilots carry guns
It's 9/10 again.
Terror threat? What terror threat. We have a President with Hussein as a middle name. Why would Achmed and Mohammed want to hijack our planes now. Dinah Lord has more.
Since Mr. Obama's election, pilots have told us that the approval process for letting pilots carry guns on planes slowed significantly. Last week the problem went from bad to worse. Federal Flight Deck Officers - the pilots who have been approved to carry guns - indicate that the approval process has stalled out.

Obama win triggers run on guns in many stores
I love this one ,the country is a little freaked out over the Obama Win , so much so they are snatching up guns right and left! A lot of people , myself included believe that The Obamasiah wants to ban Guns in the U.S. , He will never be able to do it , there would be such a tremendous backlash from the millions of gun owners in the United states that He would be laughed out of Office!
....
PHOENIX (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."
Gun stores and trade groups have reported a spike in firearms sales in the run-up to the November 4 election victory of Democrat Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden, who many perceive as strongly pro-gun control.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation, a trade association for the shooting, hunting and firearms industry, reported a 10 percent jump in gun sales this year based on its analysis of an excise tax placed on firearms and ammunition, and a spokesman said the increase had grown dramatically ahead of the election.
"Gun owners are afraid of what Obama is going to do as far as guns," said spokesman Tony Aeschliman. "He has a clear record of being against us."
Obama stated his support for the right to bear arms during campaigning, although both he and Biden back a permanent ban on assault weapons -- military style semi-automatic rifles -- and "common sense measures" to keep guns away from children and criminals, positions which spurred concern among some gun enthusiasts.
"It's always been the liberal or Democratic agenda to restrict gun ownership," said Jim Pruett, the owner of a gun store in a Houston-area strip mall, whose sales more than tripled on the Saturday before the election to $35,000.
In McPherson, Kansas, gun dealer Steve Sechler said demand at a gun show last weekend jumped by more than 50 percent as buyers rushed to stock up on guns including Kalashnikov and AR-15 rifles.
"Most of the people there were cussing Obama and saying we need home defense," Sechler said.
