Obama surely boosted gun and ammo stocks. The guy at the Sporting goods store told me that the Remington Rep. said that Remington was running three shifts, pumping out ammo 24/7 Seven days a week during that period.
I would have "liked" your post, but I'm not a fan of negative blanket statements that include ALL members of any group("rednecks" in this case). Most groups and sub-groups are mostly great people, with exception for hate groups and terrorist organizations(which are hate groups...so).
That was not all he did. I have the real numbers somewhere. Concealed Carry permits in South Carolina went from like 50,000 to I think it was over 200,000 in Obama's first year. I do not keep up with that anymore but the last time I checked, concealed carry permit issue's were still breaking records every month.
