Feb 21

As an online hunting editor, you'd better believe I keep my finger on the digital pulse of all-things-hunting—or at least I try.

Today I received word that this infographic (below) from Ammo.net is going viral in the mainstream mass media, so I thought I'd jump on board and share it with you. Please check it out and share your comments below.

Should the gun industry support Obama for a second term? Absolutely not !
There is one very clear reason that sales in firearms, concealed carry permits and related items increased, we thought we would lose access to these things.
I think that with something like this going viral it will become his new focus if he gets a second term. He will now be dead set on gun control and eliminating the rights of gun owners and Americans in general. With no re-election on the line he would have nothing to lose.
Thanks for the boost but now we need someone who is gun owner, gun rights and constitution friendly.
I did like reading though this. Thanks for sharing.

I don't think the economy can stand another 4 years of Obama, but on the other hand gun and ammo sales could use all the Obama boost it can get. We need some one who is a gun nut.

If the number of guns sales are going up. I would certainly hope the number of N.R.A. memberships are also going up! If you want to keep that gun you just bought join OR don't feel bad when HE takes it away!!!!!!!!!!

Obama is a "friend" of gun owners like Colonel Sanders is a friend to chickens. Whenever we encounter statistics concerning gun ownership we MUST consider the source. This info comes from an Anti-American press that gives a free pass to this Freedom Hating,Constitution Mocking,Self-Serving Mussolini -esque TYRANT and they can spin "their" news to make this evil bastard look like the New Messiah.Gun ownership and permit possession is up because people are scared to death of this goon and they are smart enough to know that he can STEAL another term as DICTATOR and therefore MORE of our freedoms and Traditions and Culture, which he WILL ! America is slowly waking up from their Politically Correct induced slumber and seeing the erosion of our way of life for EXACTLY what it is. We are less and less feeling sorry for ourselves and are "shamed" less and less by Believing in America and Our GREAT Heritage. Are we perfect? No, but anyone that doesn't like what we have ALWAYS stood for and believed in is ALWAYS free to find someplace better to live. Yet they flock HERE. Dump this LOSER AMERICA and reclaim our country. Keep exercising your rights,VOTE and look at the BIG picture beyond your living room walls.To 5the NRA and Gun Makers..Help us dump this MUTT and I feel confident that America will continue to support YOU

I agree with everyone here. If we allow Obama and his hanchmen (women) such such as Hillary to strip us of our rights then we can only blame ourselves. Hillary with her international gun control laws, Barack with his gun bans, ammo restrictions and/or data collection on law abiding Americans, must go. Let's push them out of office, far out of office. Then we need to ban together to pass "must issue CCW" laws in states that do not have them already. The supreme court has agreed with us in many recent cases, so let's keep the momentum going and take back our country!

Take our country back? People like to forget that whitey stole this country from the Native Americans. They raped and killed innocent people. I'm assuming that's why people think they need fully auto weapons so you can take someone else's land or freedom. Gun bans are not to take our weapons but a attempt to keep them of the streets and prevent more innocent people dying. Why don't people see the things that have changed with gun laws besides the whole full auto ban? We can now carry our protection into places we couldn't last term. Pull your heads out of your asses people...

All that Obama needs to do is put two more anti-gun people in the Supreme Court and us gun owners are in trouble. I am paying my dues to become a life member of the N.R.A. I love to hunt,and I buy a liscense every year, and I am trying to live on S.S.D.I. Go N.R.A.

Dukepiles...Angry,Angry Angry,, chill out long enough to do a little REAL background checking on the dangerous idiots in power in Washington right now,put aside your OBVIOUS biases toward "white people" and look into the very near future. This goon in the White House right now HATES this country and everything it stands for and has given in on gun issues for the moment ONLY because a majority of Americans have had enough standing by while criminals gain the upper hand due to idiotic laws that prevent recourse against them by the general public and have EVEN given the low-life criminals "Rights" to prosecute innocent people defending their homes and families.Gun bans ARE intended to eventually take our guns and time has PROVEN beyond ANY REASONABLE DOUBT that they do NOTHING to keep guns out of the hands of SCUM SUCKERS. Check the stats..they are in !!!

Lmao I'm not angry.... Just not blind,and I dont hate white people I'm white... Of course you will never keep guns off the streets but the less fully automatic weapons they produce or allow will result in fewer of them on the streets in time, and that has been the main goal of gun bans and always will be. Honestly what reason would any civilian need a automatic weapon? Don't take me wrong I own many firearms and I love that I am able to own them its just when politics get involved its blown way out of control. They are all liars they tell you what you want to hear, things they now will get people all worked up and instill fear.

Dukepiles..YOU made MY point exactly.... Quoting now"They are all liars,they tell you what you want to hear..SUCH as....Guns kill people,or We have to control guns to get them off the street,or..fewer guns means less crime..that's my favorite. What a crock of sh.. !! The main "goal" of gun bans of ANY description is to disarm the citizenry..period. Always has been even though that is NOT what they tell us,they tell us what they THINK we want to hear..refer back to the 3 lines of bull I previously listed. If you think for one second that government exists to look out for us you are wrong..they exist to control and have power..throughout the history of mankind. We WERE fortunate enough up until the past 20 or 30 years to have a "limited" Federal govt. thanks to the SUPERIOR wisdom of our founding fathers and they were smart enough to know that an armed citizenry was an unequivocal deterrent to a zealous,power grubbing Federal govt. That is ALL changing and very fast. GOD help us ALL !!

"Lip service to gun owners is just part of a massive Obama conspiracy to deceive voters and hide his true intentions to destroy the Second Amendment during his second term.

We see the president's strategy crystal clear: Get re-elected and, with no more elections to worry about, get busy dismantling and destroying our firearms' freedom, erase the Second Amendment from the Bill of Rights and excise it from the U.S. Constitution. ...

When the sun goes down on election day Barack Obama will have America's gun owners to thank for his defeat."

Seriously, What the Hell is this guy talking about. So according to the NRA Obama's entire first term was just a set up for his devious plan to ruin the country in his second term. Honestly, I am a gun loving, hunting and fishing Minnesotan with a deep love for the outdoors and firearms. I see nothing that would suggest to me that Obama is doing any of the suggested.

A bigger fear to me is that people saying stupid things such as the NRA President just did, ruins people's impressions of most other gun owners. Anyone who believes Obama can ruin the rights of gun owners is deeply mistaken, the US Government is based on the fact that no one man or woman, including the president, can ruin anything by himself. And infringing on gun rights is a quick way to not get re-elected. Clinging to your guns while the Republicans cut funding for education, destroy researc and development in the US and wreak havoc on the economy based on their narrow minded view of the world is a much bigger issue.

I am a gun owner, I am a hunter, I am an outdoorsman, I am an engineer, I am an American. I will vote for Obama over any current Republican contender for President.

AMEN to R.D.Julin. The NRA and its shooting sports activities have become a front for an ultra-conservative (and I believe racist) political organization. The Obama Administration has stated repeatedly that the 2nd Amendment applies to the "individual right" to keep and bear arms. End of story!

R.D.Julan,JDB,ygarza.. I pray EVERY day that you don't have to eat those words. This clown is arrogant and DANGEROUS to America. If you trouble yourself to research his long-time ideology you can plainly see his philosophy that We are too big,too powerful,consume too much, and are the world's bully. Everything this ego-maniac is doing in the White House flys in the face of historical proof. He is systematically dismanteling,via ILLEGALLY usurping power, the very fabric of what makes us the most sought after place on earth to live. This is not just rhetoric..study history and develope a deeper understanding of how the system is designed to work and you will see the err of his ways.Lose the "single-issue"vote mentality and balance your knowledge of the big picture and you might just come away with a better view of what is going on here...........oh hell..never mind..forget it.

One more thing to think about: history has been known to repeat itself. When a population is slowly disarmed, they don't have the ability to defend themselves. Go check out http://jpfo.org/
