Gunning, for a New Record

Guess who else was buying like crazy, and I do mean crazy, on Black Friday? Gun nuts, Charles M. Blow details in new column.  In fact, they set some kind of record, and the FBI computer was swamped.   The reason, of course, was Obama winning re-election and NRA claims that NOW he will take away gun or tax them so high you won't be able to keep all 40 of  them an have to settled for a dozen of so.   Of course, Obama has done nothing on guns, ever.

And it’s not like we need more guns, anyway. The United States has more guns per capita than any country on the planet.

All the while, stocks of gun makers are going through the roof. Smith & Wesson’s stock is up 280 percent since last year. Sturm, Ruger and Company’s stock is up 96 percent from last year.
