I've had a song going on in my head for most of the day, first let me give you a few words of that song and then I'll tell you why.

There's something happening here,
what it is, ain't exactly clear,
there's a man, with a gun over there,
tellin' me I got to beware.
Better stop children, what's that sound, everybody look what's going down.

Now for the rest of the story, I decided to go over to Cabella's today, to pick up a few things I needed. The first thing I noticed was the parking lot was packed. So, I found a parking spot and went into the store. I made my way over to the gun area of the store, and was shocked. There was so many people there you could not even get to the counter. They were actually having people take a number and then calling those numbers to help them, like it was the DMV. I wasn't there to buy a gun, I was there to get some ammo, to replenish, after having gone to the gun range. I went to the shelf to get a box and found only one box of ammo left in the caliber I use. Then made my way over to the cash register next to the gun counter, there was a line, so I began people watching. There were a sea of people, I would say 75 or more all around the gun counter, and more roaming the store, waiting to get to the gun counter. I have never seen Cabella's so packed. There was 10 maybe 12 employee helping people fill out federal firearms forms and scurrying back and forth from the backroom to get guns. As I observed, not just any guns, high caliber handguns, AR-15's, etc., I hadn't seen this many people getting issued weapons since my days as a recruit in the military. I turned to the guy behind me in line, and half joking said " What's going on, they having a sale or something?", to which the man replied "everyones stocking up on guns and gold, getting ready for the collapse".

Wow, has it really come to this, I've never seen nothing like this in my life, guns and ammo being bought up, as fast as they could bring it out. I actually left the store in a bit of shock. Then that old song starting going through my head. I'm at home now, reflecting on this event, that I witnessed, and feeling a little confused. Have I missed something, are people that worried and afraid, that instead of packing WalMart to buy Christmas gifts, that they are packing the gun stores, to buy guns and ammo. Obama said he would bring change, and by God, I saw it first hand today. All I can say, Dear Friends, is welcome to the new world dis-order.
