I had what I may believe to be a slight epiphany last night. No, it didn’t hurt. I realized that among Obama’s controversial policies are his stances on gun control, being more restrictive than we’ve become accustomed to. And yet, in the past year gun sales have doubled or tripled, according to Virginian gun shop owner Bernie Conatser. Many items in many shops are completely sold out, and ammunition is becoming scarce under the increased demand. Simply a consumer reaction to what may become, you say? Maybe, but what if there’s more to it than that?
President Obama was elected in one of the worst economic times in decades. Restoring the economy represents one of his top priorities, much more so than the aforementioned gun control. He intends to do this through a series of governmental loans to help American companies persevere through the hard times and by promoting spending.
Many of the most popular firearms in the world are American made. And even if you don’t buy a gun made in America, the ammunition you put through it probably is. By creating an impression that these products may soon be less available or more expensive, he’s actually increased sales to an impressive degree, stimulating the economy and supporting U.S. businesses.
What if that was the plan all along?
