Harry McLain Jr. saw the spike the day after the election, when his sales doubled over the previous year then shot even higher Thursday. “They are buying more guns than normal, and they are buying the guns the government doesn’t want them to have,” said McLain, who owns a gun shop near Binghamton and was among the sellers gathered Saturday for a weekend gun show on Main Street in Clarence.
Gun owners figure a Barack Obama administration, combined with a Democrat-controlled House and Senate, will impose stricter laws, so they are buying guns now, especially semiautomatic weapons. The fears manifested Saturday in Clarence have appeared around the country as well.
Last month, as an Obama victory appeared likely, background checks for gun purchases rose by 108,000 over the previous October, a 15 percent increase. As of Oct. 26, they were up about 8 percent for this year, according to the FBI.
Count ole Gordon as one of these purchasers of firearms.
Over the weekend, I bought a Sig Sauer 9mm. I can't wait to give it a test ride.

I like the .45 caliber. You have to shoot the scumbag only once. By the way, ammo will also be on the list of no-nos under the O.
He won't mess with 2nd amenment rights, just make guns and ammo REAL expensive.
This gun is primarily for Mrs. Gekko.
She has a hard time picking up some of the cannons I have.
We will have to go shoot sometime.
