Why the gun industry secretly loves Obama

[mrjarrell]

Makes sense when you think about it. He's been great for business. Just look at Ruger. Would a win by a pro-2A candidate be good for their bottom line? Doubtful. Maybe they'll all secretly go out and vote for Obama come election day.

The ammunition folks must really love him then.

Makes sense. But I still almost vomited in my mouth.

I happen to know the people at Hill Country Wholesale. They will not be voting for Obama in 2012 and did not vote for him in 2008.

I have met the CEO of Ruger at the Pittsburgh NRA Annual meeting last April . . . I am undecided as to him.

If Obama starts talking about magazines that hold greater than 10 rounds the CEO from Ruger would love him for the sales it generates.

Well there's another reason guns sales are strong, they're not a bad investment in this economy. They hold 80 to 85 % of their value if taken care of, hold them long enough and you can usually get more out of them than what you paid. Right now I don't know of any other thing including precious metals that you can say the same thing about.

Time to repeal the Hughes Amendment. Gun sales will skyrocket.

The time to repeal this unconstitutional and illegally-passed and law is now.

Really, I did not want to have to look this up. I tried to give you a hint to go ahead and post up this information but noooo......you wouldn't do it. I am going to grab another beer and check back shortly.

AJG, he is talking about the Huges Amendment to the FOPA of 1986 which froze production of machine guns.

It was passed on a dubious voice vote. The Hughes Amendment is the epitome of tyranny in action.

You mean I was supposed to quit making machine guns back then? Someone should have told me. Boy... do I have a deal for you guys

Same reason the NRA cannot afford a "..shall not be infringed period" ruling, they'd be out of cause to fight for, and out of money and out of a job until they moved to another special interest. Money and want of power drives just about everything in Washington these days.

 

[ShootinDave]

sad when even the special interest groups have thier own "special interest"

Dude, lots of people unexpectedly find themselves in love with Obama: Corporate America, the military industrial complex, and even Republicans. Obama caves on everything. That must be why the GOP is fielding such weak candidates. Why bother competing when you've already got a man in your pocket, and on your opponents' dime, too?

I just wish people would stop being so worried so gun prices would come back down. Gun control is pretty far down the list of priorities for most leftists these days. Let's be realistic. It will be good for our wallets.

Are we in the right forum?

Brilliant idea! I hope they use the same dirty tricks to repeal it as they did to pass it.

I imagine a few "pro" 2A groups will work hard to see that does not happen, there are quite a few people who stand to lose BIG $$$ if that happens
