Gun Industry Profits Off NRA’s Fearmongering About Obama Gun Policies

Gun stores across the nation are reporting a surge in gun sales since the election of Barack Obama. Customers are convinced that Obama either seeks to limit or revoke entirely Americans’ rights to bear arms. As the Chicago Tribune reports today:

Some say they are worried that the incoming Obama administration will attempt to reimpose the ban on assault weapons that expired in 2004. Others fear the loss of their right to own handguns. A few say they are preparing to protect themselves in the event of a race war.

The NRA went on a campaign of falsehoods about Obama and the gun industry is making a killing (...so to speak) off of the lies.
Another example of the stupidity of some people...
As if Obama didn't have a huge number of much bigger issues to worry about when he finally gets into power (not a moment too soon).
