There is no shooting slump....Barack Obama - Firearms Salesman of the Year!

While the U.S. economy remains in a slump, and sales for most products are at a five-year low, there is one industry that is unable to meet the demand for their products. Both guns and ammo are in short supply, and factories are running around the clock to meet the demand for both guns and ammunition.

With gun owners fearing that Obama’s White House will soon restrict their gun rights, they are buying up guns and ammo in a never before seen demand, outstripping the ability of manufacturers to provide suppliers, and leaving many shelves empty. "We can’t stock enough bullets," say most gun shop owners. "As soon we put them out they’re gone."

Most gun owners tend to keep buying more ammo, though they already have more than they’ll ever need, and some stores are now limiting customers to four boxes of ammo per visit. Some people who have never before owned a weapon have seen how many ordinary folks were buying guns and ammunition and got worried about the threat of not being able to buy a gun, and have now purchased arms. Experts say that the nationwide boom can be attributed to last year’s political campaign and the Brady campaign to prevent gun violence.
