SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake Tribune reports, “As polls and pundits in recent weeks increasingly pointed to the election of Barack Obama as the next president, scores of Utahns flocked to gun stores.”
The Tribune account continues, “Obama has supported renewing the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban, which stops the manufacture of several semiautomatic guns with large magazines.
“‘Such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets,” Obama’s Web site states.”
“Local gun dealers quickly are running out of stock of magazines for Colt AR-15s and AK models and many have seen a sharp increase in the sales of those guns.”
