Gun Shop Observations

We have a friend who is a partial owner in a gun shop. As we all know, gun/ammo sales in this country are up by a huge margin. The sales started to increase as soon as an Obama victory seemed likely. This holds true for our friend's store as well. He has been working 7 days a week for months just trying to handle all the business.

Some of his observations are interesting;

-He has had husbands and wives come in together with kids in tow and buy two pistols, a shotgun and hundreds of rounds of ammo.

-He has had military people buying guns tell him that a questionaire given to new recruits asks A) would you have problems taking orders from a United Nations commander? B) would you have any problems detaining or killing U.S. civilians if ordered?

-These same military people also report that the military has been making huge confinement facilities all over the country, including one at Camp Ripley.

-He has problems getting ammo in certain calibers simply because it is being purchased faster than it can be made. He said his store receieved 20,000 rounds of .223 ammo yesterday and he might sell it all in the next few days.

So what does all this mean? First off, we have no way of verifying the Camp Ripley detainment facilities. But we do know that history repeats itself. And for those who don't remember their WWII history, we will remind you that the U.S. Government took all U.S. citizens of Japanese descent, took their property, kicked them out of their homes and put them all in U.S. detainment facilities. The Government felt that they couldn't be trusted. Question: who might be the next group that the U.S. Government (led by Obama) doesn't feel they can trust?

We understand that people buy guns when uncertainty and fear are prevalent. And unless you have been on another planet for the past 12 months, you know that uncertainty and fear have shrouded every country on earth. No one knows if the money system is going to stay afloat or if some quack is going to detonate a nuke or if a solar storm is going to knock out all electricity in 2012. And if any of those three things happen, anarchy will be the result. And if there is anarchy...most of us would choose to have a gun for self defense and family defense.

Friends...even the pagans KNOW something big is going on. The gun shop owner told us that, "Something big is going down...and it's not just business as usual." So, in light of this, HOW THEN SHALL WE LIVE? The bible is clear we are not supposed to have a spirit of fear or uncertainty. We are supposed to be pillars of confidence in an ever-shaky world. Furthermore, as the world shakes, people will be drawn to our spirit of joy and confidence. They will want to know how we can be so joyful in the face of global wars, famines, earthquakes and uncertainty. It's at this time when the Holy Spirit can use us to speak Truth to that person.

"When you see all these things, snatch people from the fire."
