    Why gun stocks soared after Obama's win.

    In a repeat of 2008, traders anticipated an increase in firearm sales after the election.

    By Kim Peterson 10 hours ago

    In a reaction that surprised absolutely no one, investors rushed into gun stocks after President Barack Obama's win, expecting firearm sales to soar soon.

    Gun makers Smith & Wesson Holding (SWHC +3.76%) and Sturm Ruger (RGR +4.24%) rose sharply Wednesday in a repeat of sorts of the response to Obama's first presidential victory in 2008. Gun stocks have performed well over the four years of Obama's term. Sturm Ruger, for example, rose from $7.04 on Election Day in 2008 to $47.68 Wednesday, Reuters reported.

    If the Republicans changed their position on immigration reform, marijuana, gay marriage, and abortion, they would not be Democrats. They would be Libertarians!

    Calling people ignorant will not get them to vote for a Fiscal conservative candidate. However they will vote for a Fiscal conservative candidate who shares their popular Social views.
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

    This is a boating forum. There is a boating section. There is a bar. You are in the bar. You clicked on this thread.
    Questions?

    You CHOSE to come on this thread and then used the fact that this was a boating forum as a basis for your argument on the rant that you just launched.
    I was reminding you that you are in the NON BOATING section of the forum, and that you had a choice not to click.

    The choice not to click also differentiates our little thread here from the examples that you gave of TV ads, phone calls, and mail, which came to you without your choice.

    Do we really need to do this?
    Are you really going to get nasty with me because you don't like the subject of a thread that you did not start and are not required to read because you are tired of people bugging you about it?

    Do you visit your neighbors house and complain about their drapes?

    This is a classic case of "if you don't like it, don't click it. If you clicked it and you don't like it, click out."
    It is foolish to flex on me like I am off-base. Check yourself.

    If you don't go to your neighbors house and complain about their drapes, don't go on somebody else's thread and complain about the subject of the thread. Don't go into the non-boating section and whine that the subject of a thread is not boating. This is simple stuff. Forum 101.
    This is not my rule, this is simple forum etiquette. I know, you could give a rat's a$$ about forum etiquette, or any etiquette for that matter.

    Besides, you are bringing a butter knife to a gunfight. Cut your losses.
    Make a wise and sober choice not to continue to attempt to defend an indefensible point against a person with a better command of the language on their home court.

    So, including the lifts in his shoes, he has at least three.

    But, the problem does not lie with most of the people, (non-career), who are politicians I believe. The issue seems to be the media's reporting of the issues. For examples;

    1. The Benghazi issue where we, sworn under oath in Congress, decided to let Americans die (under oath the rescuers were in the air and ready to take action). The only reason that makes sense is to create an opportunity for the President to look Presidential. Unfortunately, some of them lived because an ex Navy Seal decided to dis-obey orders. This one is not over, unless it continues to be swept under the rug for Obama's sake.
    2. Jobs lost to China. That was an exuctive order by Bill Clinton in 1993 which cost this country millions of jobs, trillions of dollars, and yet the democrats seem to get away with saying that Romney sent jobs to foreign countries??? For this Billy got millions in donations to his election campaigns and his charity from the Chinese.
    3. Jobs lost to Mexico. Again, NAFTA was endorsed and signed into law by the defender of the jobless, Bill Clinton in 1993.
    4. Housing market crises and collapse. Again, in 1993, our buddy Bill Clinton worked to revise the Community Reinvestment Act to require less down payment, less oversite, across state line lending, and with his earlier change in 1991 of requiring both Fannie May and Freddie Mac to use a larger portion of their lending to low income people, was the root cause of the entire housing collapse. The leader of the Cato Institute testified those issues would result before Congress in 1995, and they did.
    5. The "I inheirited this mess from Bush" BS. There was nothing inheirited from Bush except our participation in a stupid war we should not have started in Iraq. The housing crises was caused by Clinton and the loss of jobs to China and Mexico was caused by Clinton.
    6. The stock market collapse in 2007. For some reason they seem to think that this was caused by Bush also? It was caused by entirely by Obama's election. The day after he won the election in 2007, the market tanked 361 points, and did not stop tanking until March of 2008. It went from about 13,600 to about 6623 in that time frame. (sound familiar to what has happened the last two days after his re-election?). The first day drop then was 360.92 points, the first day drop after his re-election was what? Anyway, that drop was caused by two things, the housing market collapse and the election of Obama, combined with the Senate and House also being Democrat. People who run businesses are not stupid, they understood that the policies the Dems were promoting would hurt business ability to compete with overseas companies. They understood that they would either have to move operations offshore, or go out of business. So, the plans implemented at the time of Obama's election by businesses started the loss of jobs, and the decline of the market, here in the US. It did not stop declining until the Republicans took over the house in 2008 so there would be road-blocks in place to slow down the socialist agenda causng the decline of prosperity in the US. That Republican Congress is our only current hope for stopping the same type of decline this time.
