Barack Obama imagines he can reverse the rise of the oceans, but another
rise - for which he can genuinely claim credit - seems unstoppable:
. South Dakota: "Gun shop owners attribute recent increases in sales to a
concern that President-elect Barack Obama's administration will tighten gun
laws."
. Florida: "Gun sales are going like gangbusters . the sales of assault
rifles here have at least tripled."
. Louisiana: "Business has been booming. Gun sales have been up, ammunition
sales have been up from the day of the election."
. South Carolina: "Firearms and ammunition sales have surged."
. Pennsylvania: "Assault weapons especially are big sellers."
. Nebraska: "Permits have already surpassed the combined totals from 2006
and 2007."
. Tennessee: "Consumers are flocking to gun shops."
. Kentucky: "Sales have gone through the roof!"
. Wisconsin: "In the first two weeks of November, gun sales and background
checks nearly doubled."
. Mississippi: "Gun sales are up tremendously."
. Maryland: "Sales are going very well . Sales are going so well some items
are now virtually unavailable."
. Connecticut: "Since the election, gun sales have gone up by 50 percent."
. Nevada: "Not only have rifle and handguns sales been brisk, but ammunition
has also been a hot commodity."
. Texas: "The big seller has been the AR-15 . recent sales have been to
doctors and lawyers."
. West Virginia: "Our business is up 80%."
. Hawaii: "Gun sales are off like a shot . While sales of handguns have
increased, more buyers are also picking up semi-automatic firearms."
. Maine: "Howell's Guns and Archery Center in Gray reports selling 12 AR-15
assault rifles in a week."
. Arkansas: "This year sales are up by about a third of what they normally
would be."
. Utah: "Local gun shops have seen their sales skyrocket in recent weeks."
. Alabama: "Since the election, ammunition and gun sales have really taken
off . I've never seen anything like this. It's unbelievable."
. Illinois: "Gun sales in Jacksonville and South Jacksonville have increased
dramatically since the Nov. 4 election."
. Arizona: "Ever since the presidential election gun sales have been going
through the roof nationwide and here in Tucson."
According to gun-control logic, this rise in gun sales - the FBI reports a
49 per cent increase in background checks following the election - should
cause a corresponding rise in shooting deaths.
Let's come back to this story one year from now.
