President-elect Obama is the Gun Salesman of the Year, according to The Outdoor Wire, a news service for outdoor sports.
"Manufacturers are months behind on orders for semi-automatic pistols, AR-style rifles, and anything with so-called 'high-capacity magazines'," declared The Outdoor Wire's publisher, Jim Shepherd. "Buyers we’ve surveyed across the country seem to have a single explanation for their rush to purchase firearms — Obama."
Guns are in demand because sportsmen are wary of Obama's support for gun control laws, Shepherd said.
"Mr. Obama has consistently voted against individual rights to firearms, appointed a re-tread Clinton administration full of gun banners, and made it plain to anti-gun groups that despite what he might say to the contrary, he’s on their side," Shepherd said.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — In recognition of the unprece*dented demand for firearms by nervous consumers, The Outdoor Wire, the nation’s largest daily electronic news service for the outdoor industry, has named President-elect Barack Obama its “Gun Salesman of the Year”. With the selection, Outdoor Wire publisher Jim Shepherd says it is time the firearms industry recognizes the fact that without President-elect Obama’s frightening consumers into action, the firearms industry might be suffering the same sort of business slumps that have befallen the automotive and housing industries.
As evidence of increased gun sales, he cited the jump in background checks for potential buyers. The number of checks last December by the National Instant Background Check System were up by 24 percent over the previous December, Shepherd noted.
i can support obama on this one. he is very deserving of this award.

And he is a retard . No offense to people with disabilities . Why would some idiot want to vote to deprive Americans of firearms? Us Americans have to go through a NICS check whether is it NCIC or what ever , but a background check it mandatory and still he is anti-gun . Forget me soluting him if he comes here to my town and I also think he seems kind of arrogant with the "office of the president elect" seals that I see on his podiums. And then the media is posting all this crap about how cool and safe his new limosine is ,,, . it cost a BUNCH of money and I do not remember any president ever having their limo being showed on tv about how great it is . I think obama is way too much obessed with himself and thinks too much of himself .

I saw a 1800 dollar Beretta M9 package on GunBroker...several 800 dollar WASR AKs too.
You can barely find 223 or 7.62x39 ammo in any kind of qualtity any more. Ditto for hi-cap mags for any rifle or pistol. Look at ammo prices as well.
Yep...change has come. Not the change we wanted.. but change nonetheless.
We have an economy that is completely stagnant - nobody wants to hire, expand their business or start a new business venture; a stock market that is either flatlined or headed downhill and people are buying up guns and ammo like mad.
What does all this tell you about the coming of Obama? Is this hope and change?

+10000000000000 I agree . I just dont know what the heck will happen but so far the change SUCKS .
Why would some idiot want to vote to deprive Americans of firearms? Us Americans have to go through a NICS checkand all . We are not illegal aliens and we should be able to buy weapons if we pass the check , much more according to the consitution . I have lost total respect for politics .
I hate to say it and sound childish but in the words of Obi Won Kenobi ,,,,,, " she/he is a politician , and they are not to be trusted "
YAY Obama, I can't wait to post up 5yrs from now saying i thought Obama was supossed to take away all our guns haha...You guy's are funny sometimes...
Are you saying you do not think we will lose any rights as gun owners during this administration ? AG Holder will start in right away. Do I think they will take our guns, no I do not. Do I think they will strip us of many of our rights concerning guns, I will bet you anything you want to bet we will be molested by this administration. All you have to do is look at the history of these nut cases.
