In the middle of our recent economic down turn we have had a surge of activity thanks to barrack (i work part time at a gun store).

We have had a surge in the last month or so of people "stocking up" on both guns and ammo thanks to obama's popularity.

Well, at least something positive is coming out of his popularity.

Any one else seen a similar surge?
Edit: I am a Republican and I approve this message

Hell, I'm part of it.  I just bought a Sig 556 Commando, my first EBR.

I've bought ALOT of ammo recently, whenever I find a good deal.

Im considering maxing out some credit cards on guns and ammo just in case.  If Obama wins maybe he will just tell all the banks to forgive my credit card debt.  Could be a silver lining.

Stocking up on ammo.  Hopefully I can lay in another 1000 rounds of 7.62 and 9mm this week.  Then I might feel better.  And at some point I need to bump up the 12 guage.  I'm WAAAAAY understocked on that.  But I figure 12 guage will be available for a bit if Obama tries to ban stuff.  He'll go after the "Hunting" guns last.

My FFL was going to quit the business a couple months ago, but now he has can both get stock and turn it all over in a month.

And he thanks both Hilary & Obama.

I always said Bill Clinton sold more guns that Samuel Colt.

Good point. Someone laid some scary stuff on me the other day however.

He need not "ban" ammo. Though I do not know the source I over heard a discussion on an "ammo tax". The proposal was a 500% ammo tax which would make the average box of 9mm about $980.00. I know it sounds reactionary but stranger things have happened; ask the tobacco industry

I bought one too because of Obama. Not my first EBR.

I think we should organize another Arfcom Ammo Day and have everyone go to Wal-Mart and buy as much ammo as they can possibly afford the day before the election.
