Some of the few people who've profited from obama being in office; those who bought firearms company stocks. Up 4 fold.

Clinton came into office and reloading and gun stuff disappeared from the local military exchanges. Obama comes in and most military exchanges selling firearms! What does Obama know that would make him want military members have easier access to firearms? Did he realise that an armed populace is actually better for the common defense? And Mitt Romney is from Massachusetts where the laws are so strict you have to have a license from the state to own a firearm? You even need a license in Massachusetts to buy ammunition! Romney was the Governor of Massachusetts at one time...

Just imagine what our society would be like if everyone safeguarded all of their liberties the way gun owners try to safeguard their right to keep and bear arms.

And the argument that "Romney did this when he was governor" doesn't hold much water for me. What one does/can do as a governor is totally different than what one may do/can do as president. It's a totally different level of government with a totally different set of rules. I'm not saying that I agree with everything Romney has ever done or wants to do, but that argument is pretty weak. You can make better arguments against Romney.
