Obama quite a salesman
President-elect Barack Obama is getting a sarcastic salute from a news service that caters to outdoors enthusiasts. The Outdoor Wire named Obama its “Gun Salesman of the Year” because of the way gun sales have increased since his election.
We’ve seen it in Oklahoma, where gun shops report brisk business since Election Day when Obama beat John McCain and Democrats increased their majorities in the U.S. House and Senate. Some dealers have even advertised “pre-inauguration specials.”
Outdoor Wire publisher Jim Shepherd said he’s just giving credit where it’s due. The president-elect, Shepherd said, has “made it plain to anti-gun groups that despite what he might say to the contrary, he’s on their side. … Buyers we’ve surveyed across the country seem to have a single explanation for their rush to purchase firearms – Obama.”
