Gun Sales Have Gone Up Since Obama Became President

Since Obama was elected president in 2008, gun sales have sky-rocketed. Obama is going to take away our guns, wingnuts wail. And they've been stocking them away for the day that Obama unleashes his Kenyan hordes, Sharia Law, the UN, or whatever conspiracy theory du jour they've got going on. They've stocked piles of weapons like they're expecting the Zombocalypse (oh, Obama's going to usher that in too).

We've lost 8,600 Americans on September 11, 2001 and on the Iraq and Afghan Wars combined.

We lose over 9,000 Americans EACH YEAR to gun violence.

I don't see how more guns have helped keep us safer. But, guess what, you wingnut fuckers. I hope Obama does take your 60 round-plus automatic assault rifles away. You want to hunt deer, do it with a deer rifle. They kill zombies pretty good too.
