The guys who own small local shops are all talking about the market being driven by idiots, and laughing all the way to the bank. They say Obama has been the best thing for business since guns.
Before the election one was saying as much as he hated Obama he'd be good for business if he won. Obama winning the first election pretty much saved his business, he was sinking and about to go under prior to that.
Dems are letting the AR ban provision go in order to get background checks and straw purchases tightened.
Totally agree, the market is being driven by idiots and there will be a selloff as soon as many of these Chicken Littles are forced to sell because they overpaid for toys they couldn't afford.
I find it ironic that gun dealers of any kind hate Obama. As compared to whom? Mitt Romney? The former governor of Massachusetts, the second most anti-gun state in the union? Compared to the chauffeur-driven, investment banker Romney, Obama looks positively pro-gun.
If you want more pro-gun presidents, tell the NRA to stop blindly handing out good ratings just to candidates who have "Republican" behind their name. Romney did almost nothing to roll back MA's draconian anti-gun laws while he was in charge, yet everybody believes he was the pro-2nd ammendment candidate? Most of the democrats that challenged Obama in the 08 race were more pro-gun than RoboCandidate Romney.

That is some phuny and ill-informed chit right there.
First off, I doubt that "gun dealers of any kind" are all Republicans who by your definition all "hate Obama".
Secondly, the NRA gave/gives passing grades to pro-gun candidates no matter what their party affiliation is. As an example, Harry Reid (Mr. Presidential knee pads himself) got an "A" endorsement from the NRA in the last elections for his pro-gun views. I'm not saying he deserved it as he'd likely sell his mother to Obama if he thinks he can get ahead politically as the winds shift, but he got one none the less.
If you're going to pontificate, at least try to be fairly accurate with your sermon. BTW - so you don't speculate about me in an online sermon, I'm a very conservative Republican but have good gun friends who are Democrats. Most of them didn't vote for Obama either.
You can believe whatever you want but that will never make it fact, the one gun store owner I'm talking about organizes and hold teaparty meetings, there are teaparty posters on the fence next to his gunstore. I'm almost positive he hates Obama and I've heard him use those words.
You are talking about an area you know nothing about, it's an area, a county, that is so heavily republican that if a gun store owner were democrat they would never think of openly admitting it.
The difference here is that I'm talking about an area I live in and store owners I know, that to be concise is an informed call. While you on the other hand are talking crap about me who's talking about an area and people you know nothing about, that is the definition of ill informed, some would say highly ignorant, others might even go so far as to say... nevermind, you get the picture.
First off.......... Please notice how all quotes are included here. Yours, the Grouse's, and mine are all included. That's how the forum works.
Second......... I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to and quoted the Talking Grouse, and in that perspective, what he said was phuny and totally incorrect.
As for you, I could care less where you live. Move if you don't like what's happening around you. And don't take yourself so seriously.
Get a grip on reality, dude. You are not the center of the universe just because you have a key board and found PM. Wow...........
