Thanks Obama: Smith & Wesson And Sturm, Ruger Are Soaring
Following President Obama's speech last night, Smith & Wesson is up 7.75% today (its best day in 4 months) and Sturm Ruger is up 8.25% today (most in 8 months)...
And the year-to-date gains are incredible...
So thanks Obama: courtesy of your inept approach to resolving every social issue not to mention your naive, recurring attempts to uproot the Second Amendment, you are making the US safer one teleprompted, faux-emotional speech at a time. Granted, everyone knows that was not your intention, but the public will take whatever it can.
So what changed? Why did Americans suddenly start getting more interested in guns in and around the end of 2008?

Yea, shoot back at the Joo World Order
Never before have so many owed so much to so few, for being so fearful of their government
When all those guns get put into action, and there is lead flying through your doors, windows, and walls, then you will want to protect your vitals.

You meant gun salesman of the decade.
At the gun store, there was a sign in the parking lot that read: "Reserved for Salesman of the Year, Barack Obama".
That was 6 years ago.
When are you righties going to wake up an realize that the same MIC corporations that fleece the taxpayer with defense contracts are the same ones selling you firearms?
Of course Obama is the best gun salesman ever. He just says rhetoric on TV and you guys run out and buy guns with your wive's credit cards.
Wake up! You are all being played like fiddles. An AK-47 should cost $50, and instead "American made" AKs are going for $700 to $1,000.
Guns are so overpriced, it's a joke.
Good luck fighting drones or NSA monitoring with your AR-15 toys. Singularity is almost here, and your centerfire weapons will be useless against them.
Overpriced? What price would you pay to defend your family?
Prices on guns may be high, but Prices are not going up. Picked up a Smith & Wesson SD40 VE on Black Friday for $269. That's a pretty good deal!
Now Ammo is a different story, high as a cats back and often hard to get...
The idea that Obama would actually go down the road of banning guns is hilarious. He is a corporate biatch. Look at the corporate-designed ACA for example. It was written by and for the benefit of Health Corporations. He is coming to the end of his term. He can see the endless $250,000 per speech sessions coming up. You think he is going to upset his masters by reducing corporate profits? Of course he will say 'ban guns' safely in the knowledge that it will cause a spike in sales and profits. But do it? Trash his own personal entitled future? Yeah, sure.
Look at what politicians do, not what they say.
Wow1 Not too up on things, eh. For every military tech advance, there is a counter measure. Just ask the Vietnamese.
Guns overpriced? LMAO
I have two sig P210-6's and a sig p229. Just getting 500 rounds for these three guns us around $2000. So if anything is overpriced, its the ammo.
Sigs P210's are made from billet steel, slides are machined and ground and then matched to barrels. You'd spend nearly as much as the gun just getting a few parts custom fabricated.
I think you need to spend less time in fairyland and realize it takes incredible amounts of engineering, precision, and finesse to create an instrument that can fire round after round of heavy caliber bullets without losing accuracy/cracking/etc.
In comparison, iPhones should be $10. Not a single piece of precision manufacturing in that piece of crap. Also, they bend in your pocket. Which is laughable.
And Apple wants to make cars....
An AK-47 should cost $50...
They do in places like Yemen, Pakistan, or Afghanistan but not usually on the American continent... unless of course you know Eric Holder.

Don't forget to use the subtle and hidden protection from bullets: An armored plate for your executive or student backpack. ~ $200.
In the case of students, you're best off studying at a safe place abroad, as it's also cheaper anyway and everyone on the planet has the same access to textbooks, videos and teleconferencing. Assuming you can get in with your American high school diploma, and assuming you're at a serious university and not some Carribean/Mexican U.
Probably best to avoid taking Economics in most Latin countries, especially Venezuela and Argentina. Although taking it in Colombia might make you very rich. Especially if combined with a degree in Chemistry.

Barack H. Obama is a Sleeper Cell for Radical Islam.
Both Idiocy and propaganda and keep everyone's attention off of 9/11 the False Flag operation by the US government.
https://thinkpatriot.wordpress.com/2015/12/03/911-is-the-weak-spot/
9/11 was a False Flag operation by the Israeli-Neocons in the US Government
The gun makers should produce a 4' x 10' ten million dollar commission check with Obama's name on it...with the clause "not valid till signed"...and then publically invite Obama to come pick up, and sign, his check.
RGR and SWHC up 700% since Obama took office... they owe that man commission...
Out of sheer boredom (and a little anger) I invest in nothing in my "play account" the last few months that doesn't involve shooting, blowing things up or causing cancer. So far it's been a winning portfolio.

We're gonna need a lot more dead cats......
"Yes he can!"
I like shooting my Ruger. It makes.me feel like a free man and helps get my mind off the huge Harris County property tax bill laying on my coffee table.
Just keep shaving your beard.
Dear American Liberals and Socialists:
Are you still so puffed up with arrogance and pride that you can't admit that everything you believe is either intellectually wrong, morally wrong, or socially destructive? Just look at the gun sales numbers and tell us that this is what you wanted. You can't. All your political mentors and leaders were wrong and are wrong. You have been duped and used. Time to admit defeat and come home to True Patriotism -respect and homage for the Founding Fathers.
And if you can't do that, then please, you and Obama especially - STFU.
I've got a better idea... Let them all move to Venezuela. I hear the weather is nice down there...
Spoctor Din
Dear American Conservatives and ReligiousNuts:
Are you still so puffed up with arrogance and pride that you can't admit that everything you believe is either intellectually wrong, morally wrong, or socially destructive? Just look at the wealth on Wall street, your kids living in the basement, the HUGE military budget (would Jesus fund that?) and the ABSOLUTE FAILURE of the USA's spreading of "Freedom and Democracy" resulting in TRILLIONS wasted and MILLIONS dead (again, would Jesus do that?)....and tell us that this is what you wanted. You can't. All your political mentors and leaders were wrong and are wrong. You have been duped and used. Time to admit defeat and come home to True Patriotism -respect and homage for the Founding Fathers - who believed that all WHITE MEN were created equal - that NON WHITE MEN were "happier" being slaves and that women, like children, we better suited to being seen rather than heard.
And if you can't do that, then please, you and your leaders especially - STFU.
The US Constitution in a POLITICAL BIBLE (written by WHITE MEN) using the BIBLICAL BIBLE (written by BROWN MEN) to empower WHITE MEN in the name of "God".
I have to admit they did a really good job...200+ years later and WHITE MEN still run the show...others have gained ground...but even Ben Franklin predicted that WHITE Men couldn't maintain controll forever...let's at least be honest about what it really is.
that's hard work what you did there,......squeezing three gallons of stupid into a two-gallon bucket.
awesome.
Wasn't hard at all...much easier than believing that Christain Conservatives played no role in wrecking this nation from all angles...or that a "Magic Man in the Sky" has picked one group of people, on little spec of dirt in an infinite Universe, to be the only ones that correctly "know him"...lol..how silly.
God made man in his image; Man made Jesus in his image...a white, 20-something, anti-establishment hippie...sorry to break it to you...but those millions of pics of white Jesus's need a little color correction...
Yeah.... And black people who never even conceived of the wheel throughout their existance built the pyramids. Your color assumptions are a little off to say the least.
You don't understand liberals and Socialists do you. Warren Buffet, Jon Corzine, Soros, Steyer....The wealth of the .1% has risen under Obama and the Democrats more than any period in history. The Wall Street Bankers weren't just rescued they were rewarded for FAILURE! THEY ARE WINNING. They have pulled it off with the help of Jenner, Cyrus, K, Oprah, Krugman....their diversion tactics are epic!
I understand Conservatives and their "personal journey with God"
Paraphrasing from memory: "If we don't pass this bailout of Warren Buffet, Jon Corzine, Soros, Steyer....then this suckers going down" - George W. Bush.
Actual Quote:
"“If money isn’t loosened up, this sucker could go down,” President Bush declared Thursday as he watched the $700 billion bailout package fall apart before his eyes, according to one person in the room."
Only a complete fucking idiot believes that George W Bush is a conservative. That idiot is apparently you.
Bush describes himself as a “Compassionate conservative"
Which he defines as "A conservative philosophy is a compassionate philosophy that frees individuals to achieve their highest potential. Conservative to cut taxes and compassionate to give people more money to spend. Conservative to reform welfare by insisting on work; compassionate to free people from dependency. Conservative to insist on consequences for bad behavior; compassionate to recognize that discipline and love go hand in hand."
Whatever, the Stupid Fuck lives in your camp, not the Lefts' camp.
Just so you know, the more negs I get for spearing "Conservatives" beliefs by demonstrating how they've failed, the better I feel and the more I know I"m RIGHT!
Honestly, no difference between democrats and republicans. They both expanded the military budget for years, so not exactly sure where you were going with that one.
Literally, the few differences between them are inane. That is, whether or not gays can marry or whether or not women can or cant have abortions doesnt break a country apart.
What does break a country apart is the economic vitality, or lack thereof. And BOTH parties are complicit in enabling the takeover of gov by corporate interests. You'd do well to realize that, because ABSOLUTELY NO ONE will change the mind of another ONLINE.
As far as people with a brain are concerned, you are about as far from being considered an intellectual powerhouse as it gets. If you are unable to discern the differnece between a conservative and a RINO who will say whatever it takes to get elected, then there really isn't any hope for you. Good luck with that.
Holy Smoke....Your playing with half a deck if you judge politicians by what they say rather than what they do.
Love the headline photo. A classic.
Barack, yu da man.
And Obama had done what exactly with guns yet? Paranoid pussies pushed the stock up not the black boogeyman that hasn't done shit any other president before hasn't done? White people in this country can be fucking CLUELESS.
That is why we are eternally grateful to be fortunate enough to be able to bask in the glow of your awesome and eternal wisdom... beyond that, go back to doing your mom...
Black people are 13% of the US population and are more than 50% of the homicide victims in the US each year. Who is clueless?
Black people?
Would you prefer 'Afro-American'?
Hey moron, you forget about Obama's attempt to ban steel core .223 ammo? Typical racist idiot.
Not to mention his success in banning 7N6 5.45 ammo.
If nothig else I find your typical black urbanite thinks they have a right to be fucking RUDE.
Thanks for another data point.
The more folks who jump into firearm ownership, the more safe the second amendment becomes. Of course it would be nice if the wave of purchasing wasn't under threat of mayhem and unconstitutional prohibition. . .
Hopefully, Americans will buy enough guns that it would be a serious financial hit if gun confiscation were tried. Talk about piss a lot of people off!
What has Owe-bama done about guns?
Let a Canadian Libertarian school y'all!
Owe-bama openly talks about stripping your Constitutionally guaranteed rights to protect yourselves away from you.
Remember when Pearl Harbour happened and the President wanted to take your gun rights away to make the United States safer? ...me neither.
What makes post 9/11 different?
Your President Obama is on the wrong side of history on this one y'all! In fact, how far back do we have to go to find a US President on the right side of history? WWI for sure, right? Were you okay up to WWII? Maybe. JFK? Many would say yes because he died but was he?
Except, you know, in the state of NY
But we rightly blame Cuomo
Nailed it Town!
Obama hasn't accomplished SHIT!
And anything he has "accomplished" came WITH the FULL and CONTINUING support of the REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Congress holds the power...Congress Spends the money...Congress can REMOVE the President....the REPUBLICAN CONGRESS empowers, funds and supports OBAMA!...Obama SIGNS bills, he DOES NOT WRITE THEM...so anything obama has "done" during this REPUBLICAN controlled Congress, he's done by WORKING WITH THEM!
Even better.

I am sure this will help as well, just in
"The U.S. Supreme Court Monday handed a legal victory to advocates of banning firearms commonly known as assault weapons."

Man, they are in full nazi mode here in the US. TX, it's time to take up the vote. I'm confident Greg Abbott will be the new president of Texas.
What else could they do, punt was the only option.
This wont be good for S&W and Rug stocks in the long run. Will bring demand forward.
Ron Paul for president of Texas.
Greg Abbott for Secretary of War.
And thanks to the court's inaction, Chicago automatically becomes a much safer place, San B as well.
Obama "Gun Salesman of the Year" ?
No, it should be "Gun Salesman of the Decade"
I believe he qualifies as the best gun salesman in the history of the world. Is there another President who is responsible for more guns being bought during his tenure than Obama? I think not...
Time for another Nobel Prize?
Economics this time.
Smith & Wesson: Raytheon for the little guy.

Just bought a 686 sw revolver. Really love it! If I had to pick one handgun this is it.
I love old(er) S&Ws - won't buy a new one with the lock on though.
Try not to shoot yourself in the tit with it...
Judging by yer avatar, you're speaking from experience! :>D Like shootin' puppies in a sweater!
obama said that we shouldnt allow suspected terrorist on the list to get automatic weapons. who is on this list? who is a terrorist? there are 750,000 names on the list. i would bet that 90% are white men. who did the DOD say were terrorist? the gov defines a terrorist as a threat to THEM. they dont care if isis kills some folk. the true terrorists(to obama) are the white men that will bring down the government.....
who is on this list?
Everyone that posts on zh is good candidate.
FYI, most folks cannot obtain "automatic" weapons legally!
Let us not forget Springfield Armory!!!!
Do not depend on this government to save you. We are on our own. CYA.
When seconds count, police are minutes away. Legal concealed carry.
Constitutionally, there is no such thing as "illegal" carry, concealed, open, or mounted on your truck...
River makes the mini 30 your girl friend will think you got taller just seeing it. Plus it fires the AK rd which are cheap. And will impact with more force than the old 5.56
Live news conference of another Chicago shooting. The gov person plays the dispatch tape and then at the end says: of course this isn't the full tape, all irrelevant communication was removed for the publics convenience. Thanks.
I've delayed upgrading my armory, thnking that seriously the government will never come after my guns. Bow I realize that I need to upgrade it to protect myself from my massively armed fellow citizens.
For genuine Americans ONLY:
If you do not yet have a Ruger Precision Rifle, then you should push it to the top of your shopping list - AWESOME!!!!
EXACTLY what you will need to pop islamic cult heads from a safe distance when they are on another infidel slaughter rampage in your area.
Ruger ,, Meh.. I find the Weatherby Vanguard to be the best mid priced rifle for all around use, up to and including head dress hunting.
With all the give aways to the terrorists and drug cartels its really a much bigger deal than that. Ogunpimp indeed! Molon Labe!
Like I said before in recent weeks, I'd rather no line the pockets of Arms executives with juicy X-Mass bonuses.
Have all the G & A I need for sport, hunting and personal defense. Too old to play Rambo, and would get whacked on Day 1 anyway, if I tried. And I rather doubt that we'll see Stalingrad or Baghdad style action in our zip code (somewhere in the Pac NW).
If we do, we'll be gone to BC, or way down south in S. Am. Which is why I'm brushing up on my Spanish. I can already speak 'Canadian': e.g. Aboout, Eh, Canucks, Habs, Leafs, How about that Don Cherry?, a Brewski, I'll have an Ex and a Blue, Poutine, Backbacon, Maple Syrup, Canadian Tire Money, Roots, Loblaws, Tim Horton's aka Horny Tim's, G'day eh, How's it goin', You bet ya, Fuckin' Eh, Pierre Trudeau had way more brains and balls than Junior, American Warmongers, Our Bathtub Navy, UBC, U of T, Western, Queens, McGill, Horseshoe Falls, Hongcouver, T.O., Montreal/Monreal, HSBC, RBC, CIBC, Scotia, TD, Bruce Cockburn, Michael J Fox, William Shatner ...
Where ever you go, that's where you'll be, gringo...
Don't forget Monty Hall.
But you'll have to leave many of your guns behind.....
How do you do something like look one of your young daughters in the eye, and try to explain to her that you sold your soul for money, you murdered, lied, toppled entire economies, bombed innocent women and children, all so your daughters could go to private schools and mom could have her industrial strength hair remover that makes her look semi-human. How do you do that?
You describe a situation with which I am completely unfamiliar.
Here is a letter the POTUS mailed out today, regarding his/America's fight against terrorists
(Waning: full text):
Tonight, I addressed the nation from the Oval Office on my top priority as President: Keeping the American people safe.
It weighs heavily on the hearts and minds of all of us in the wake of the terrible tragedy in San Bernardino. Fourteen Americans -- dads, moms, daughters, sons -- were taken from us as they came together to celebrate the holidays. Each of them a public servant. All of them a part of our American family.
The FBI is still gathering the facts about what happened in San Bernardino, but here is what we know. We have no evidence that the killers were directed by a terrorist organization overseas, or that they were part of a broader conspiracy here at home. But it is clear that these killers had embraced a perversion of Islam, stockpiled assault weapons, and committed an act of terrorism.
Our nation has been at war with terrorists since al Qaeda killed nearly 3,000 Americans on 9/11. Since then, we've hardened our defenses. Our intelligence and law enforcement agencies have disrupted countless plots and worked around the clock to keep us safe. Our military and counter-terrorism professionals have relentlessly pursued terrorist networks overseas -- disrupting safe havens, killing Osama bin Laden, and decimating al Qaeda's leadership.
But over the last few years, the threat has evolved as terrorists have turned to less complicated acts of violence like the mass shootings that are all-too common in our society. For the past seven years, I have confronted the evolution of this threat each morning. Your security is my greatest responsibility. And I know that, after so much war, many Americans are asking whether we are confronted by a cancer that has no immediate cure.
So, tonight, this is what I want you to know: The threat of terrorism is real, but we will overcome it. We will destroy ISIL and any other organization that tries to harm us. Here's how:
First, our military will continue to hunt down terrorist plotters in any country where it is necessary, using air strikes to take out ISIL leaders and their infrastructure in Iraq and Syria. And since the attacks in Paris, our closest allies – France, Germany, and the United Kingdom – have ramped up their contributions to our military campaign, which will help us accelerate our effort to destroy ISIL.
Second, we will continue to provide training and equipment to Iraqi and Syrian forces fighting ISIL on the ground so that we take away their safe havens. In both countries, we are deploying Special Operations forces who can accelerate that offensive.
Third, we are leading a coalition of 65 countries to stop ISIL’s operations by disrupting plots, cutting off their financing, and preventing them from recruiting more fighters.
Fourth, with American leadership, the international community has established a process and timeline to pursue cease-fires and a political resolution to the Syrian civil war. Doing so will allow the Syrian people and every country to focus on the common goal of destroying ISIL.
That is our strategy -- designed and supported by military commanders, counter-terrorism experts, and countries committed to defeating these terrorists. And we constantly examine further steps needed to get the job done. That is why I have ordered the Departments of State and Homeland Security to review the visa program under which the female terrorist in San Bernardino originally came to this country. And that is why I will urge high tech and law enforcement leaders to make it harder for terrorists to use technology to escape from justice.
Here at home, we can do more together to immediately address this challenge.
To start, Congress should act to make sure that no one on a No Fly List is able to buy a gun. What possible argument can be made for allowing a terrorist suspect to buy a semi-automatic weapon? This is a matter of national security. I know there are some who reject any gun safety measure, but no matter how effective our intelligence and law enforcement agencies, we cannot identify every would-be mass shooter. What we can do, and must do, is make it harder for them to kill.
Next, we should put in place stronger screening for those who come to America without a visa so that we can know if they've traveled to war zones. And finally, if Congress believes, as I do, that we are at war with ISIL, then it should vote to authorize the continued use of military force against these terrorists.
This is what we should do. But I’d like to also say a word about what we should not do.
We should not be drawn once again into a long and costly ground war in Iraq or Syria. That’s what groups like ISIL want. We also cannot turn against one another by letting this fight become a war between America and Islam. That, too, is what groups like ISIL want. ISIL does not speak for Islam. They are thugs and killers, and account for a tiny fraction of more than a billion Muslims around the world who reject their hateful ideology.
If we are to succeed in defeating terrorism, we must enlist Muslim communities as our strongest allies in rooting out misguided ideas that lead to radicalization. It is the responsibility of all Americans -- of every faith -- to reject discrimination. It is our responsibility to reject religious tests on who we admit into this country. It is our responsibility to reject language that encourages suspicion or hate. Because that kind of divisiveness, that betrayal of our values, plays into the hands of groups like ISIL. We have to remember that.
I am confident America will succeed in this mission because we are on the right side of history. Even as we debate our differences, let’s make sure we never forget what makes us exceptional: We were founded upon a belief in human dignity -- the idea that no matter who you are, or where you come from, or what you look like, or what religion you practice, you are equal in the eyes of God and equal in the eyes of the law.
Let’s not forget that freedom is more powerful than fear. That we have always met challenges -- whether war or depression; natural disasters or terrorist attacks -- by coming together around our common ideals. As long as we stay true to who we are, then I have no doubt that America will prevail.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama

The Federal Government Is Maintaining An Illegal Registry Of Gun Owners

Hey OblowMe, Venezuela called and they want their village homo back...
http://www.rtba.co/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/gun-salesmen1.jpg
Obama talks about "automatic weapons".
Fully auto are ALREADY heavily regulated. In fact, there has only been one (maybe two) killings with registered full auto firearms. And that full auto was owned by a POLICE OFFICER.
FAIL.
People got more interested in defending themselves against Obomber, his paid thugs, and the consequences of ongoing predator-DBA-government actions.

I have a Ruger 10/22, a Saiga 7.62, and a Springfield XD40. Obviosuly none of these can shoot past my mailbox. What would be a suggestion for a long range rifle with a clip that can shoot distance accurately for around $500?
You need to acquire 50 more weapons, then get back to us.
Also, 20,000 rounds of ammo.
That is just a start for newbies.
Now, can you hit what you aim at with the first shot? That is what matters.
As a former elite sniper of third world leaders, I suggest this simple tool:

Back in the day we did not have these cool devices. You just shot a round after you guestimated everything. It worked out OK in Central America. RR gave me a medal I can't show to anyone. Fidel gave me one, too, which is in the vault.
After I decide to defect to Russia, I'll tell eveyone the LC story.
Haha.
"Lawyers, Guns and Money: The LC55 Biography."
If it has to feed from a clip, then you should check out the Civilian Marksman Program and acquire an M1 Garand.
