Gun sales soar after President Obama's re-election [View all]

Hoover in the article is a gun store owner.

Hoover says people are scrambling to get a gun in case they aren't allowed to anymore, and one day after President Obama's re-election sales shot up.

"We sold everything," said Hoover. "If I hadn't been nailed down they would have sold me."

The president has said a number of times he's not looking to take people's guns away, but assault weapons don't belong on the streets. Otherwise, President Obama believes the Second Amendment should be protected.

Guns and ammo aren't the only items seeing increases in sales. Heartland also had a record number of people sign up for a concealed carry permit.

"We sold out an entire class in a matter of an hour and a half," said Hoover. "That's never happened before."

Here we go again. I bet the gun manufacturers were secretly donating to the Obama campaign. And for another four years the NRA will scare people with "Obama the gungrabber" who hasn't grabbed any guns.
