BEAVERCREEK -- Eyes were glued to the television at PSG Firearms, as the President made his announcement on tougher gun laws.
Like many gun advocates, Andrew Palmer, owner of PSG Firearms watched intently as President Obama spoke of background checks, limiting magazine clips and banning military assault weapons.
Its pretty ridiculous, its nothing we havent seen before, its just a shame said Andrew Palmer, PSG Firearms.
Other pro-gun advocates felt the same way.
Okay fine, it doesn't work what's next, five rounds, two rounds, single shots, I don't know but I don't trust where the federal government is going with this" said Larry Moore, Buckeye Firearms Association.
Criminals don't go to the gun stores to do background checks, they go through the black market, and the black market is just going to grow just like with drugs said Joseph Sherwood, Beavercreek resident.
On an economic front, the intense gun debate has led to record breaking gun sales across the county.
With his election, scares and political views on firearms its boosted sales and urged alot of people to do alot of buying said Palmer.
However some see it both ways, for some of Obamas proposals while concerned about others.
I agree that everyone should have a background check, as far as that goes I don't think we should just let anyone have guns however, if our rights are taken away to have the guns, I feel like more people are going to get them said Crystal Stafford, Beavercreek resident.
Now the waiting game begins to see which of the Presidents proposals will actually get passed Congress.
