Trump kills gun sales in the US

[KUSA]

It ironic isn't it? Liberals cause the gun manufacturers to grow and Trump comes in and kills it.

While Trump’s unapologetic pro-Second Amendment stance may be good for gun owners, it has already dealt a blow to manufacturers, who enjoyed record sales throughout President Obama’s eight years in office. Stocks in companies like Smith & Wesson and Sturm, Ruger & Co. plunged on Nov. 9, and experts say it is because Trump’s election erased fears that guns would become harder to get.

If we consistently evaluated people on their results instead of their words, I wonder how different things would be ??

I wouldn't say that Obama (or liberals) caused the sudden surge of gun buying, it was the all the fearmongering and 'he's gonna take our guns!' rhetoric that stoked that spike.

Yep. The White House is well aware of the correlation. I think he's even made a joke or two about it.

It's simple cause and effect. Gun hating liberal gets elected, gun sales go up.

What effects did the Obama administration have on the ability to purchase guns?

What effects did the Obama administration have on the ability to purchase guns?

Just an irrational fear that a liberal president was going to ban guns.

That's what I'm getting at, yeah.  If the only basis for calling Obama a "gun hating liberal" is the fact that people were told he's a gun hating liberal...then that's just silly.
