Gun Sales and Obama?

Grandma gets ready for the next Mailbox Baseball player to arrive.

I keep hearing about all this hullabaloo about a rush to stock up on firearms and guns since the country voted Obama as our President-Elect

Has it once occurred to all the doom and gloom media out there (not to mention all of those that read it) that for most of the rural areas of the US, hunting season begins this Friday?  I’m in Michigan, and hunters will make their first treck out to the woods Friday morning.  Hell, for a lot of places here (my husband’s shop included) they get the first day of hunting season off, but not Veteran’s day.

So, let’s take a moment to think about the coincidence of the calendar and the increase in gun sales, instead of assuming that there is some rush to bear arms as a result of our decision to elect Barack Obama, could we?  If we’re going to see an increase in sales as a result of Obama, I would bet it would be something more like…teeth whitening solution. Or whatever puppy he and Michelle end up getting for the kids.

Sheesh.
