Outnumbered But Not Outgunned
By T.S. Weidler
After two resounding wins, it is clear that liberal Barack Obama supporters strongly outnumber conservatives in the U.S. He won the 2012 election with roughly 7 million fewer votes than the 2008 election, and it was still more than enough. We are outnumbered.
Do you know what he did on his first day back at work while you were staring sullenly at the electoral map?
He greenlighted the United Nations Arms Control Treaty, which he plans to use as a springboard for a national gun registration list, followed by confiscation. Do not be surprised. All Marxists do this, and Obama has frequently stated his intentions. He is working quickly, on his first day after re-election. This treaty, even if it dies like so many other things the U.N. touches, will at least cause higher prices as it eliminates the importation of ammunition and guns. Obama has assured us that it will not threaten our Second Amendment rights. Do you believe him?
This is a man who doesn’t even believe in Second Amendment rights. While teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago, Obama told Dr. John Lott that he believed people should not be allowed to have guns. Apparently, knowing the meaning of the Second Amendment is not a requirement for constitutional law professors these days. After seeing that he has us outnumbered, it is alarming that his first priority is to ensure that we are also outgunned.
But we are not outgunned yet. If you, like millions of other Americans, noticed that the value of your stock holdings dropped precipitously the day after Obama was elected, and the following day… and the day after that too, you may be curious to know there is one sector that has been gaining big: guns and ammo. Ruger (RGR) and S&W (SWHC) had a banner week while the rest of the market tanked. That is because millions of us all around the country rushed to our nearest gun stores on Wednesday and bought as much as we could bring home, while we still could. For the past four years the gun industry is the only sector that has seen consistent, nonsubsidized growth, and it is the only sector Obama won’t boast about.
