For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Gun sales rising because of Obama!
Embedded right is a video from a "Nightline" installment a few weeks ago discussing the explosion in gun sales nationally since Obama was elected. The CBS affiliate in Chicago did a report on this subject Wednesday night (video available here):
"Once people started to realize that the Democrats had a better chance, or seemed to have a better chance, they started getting nervous about certain gun regulations," said Illinois Gun Works' Owner Dan Mastrianni. Recent gun sales are up nationally 42 percent. In Illinois, they are up 38 percent; and in Chicago's suburbs 50 percent.
What do you think is responsible for the rise in sales, and are you stocking up as well?
