Americans fearful that their Second Amendment rights could soon be in jeopardy are rushing to their favorite gun shops. The threat of a Hillary Clinton presidential victory has led to sales doubling at some stores.

Despite her debate-day lies that she supports our right to bear arms, Hillary is anything but a Second Amendment supporter. The NRA’s Wayne LaPierre stated just yesterday that she will come for your guns. She’s said as much numerous times in the past, and she’s also promised to use executive orders to further her gun-control agenda. 

It’s why you’re now seeing gun stores like one in Las Vegas promoting a “pre-Hillary sale.” Don’t wait, the sign warns, “prices will skyrocket after Crooked Hillary gets in.” 

Hyatt Guns in Charlotte, N.C., is also gearing up for “unprecedented business” beginning Nov. 9. “We’re in uncharted territory right now as far as gun sales,” said Hyatt Marketing Director Justin Anderson.

Standing Guard | The NRA Gathers to Celebrate Our Freedom

The momentum we’re seeing across the country is both encouraging and energizing. January opened with tremendous activity at the NRA booth during SHOT Show, where members, industry partners and supporters stopped by to connect, share ideas and reaffirm their commitment to freedom and the Second Amendment.

Port Authority Doubles Down on Constitution-Free Zone with High-Profile Arrest

As anyone who has passed a basic civics class knows, the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All legislation and official government actions are subject to its limits.
