"The Obama Effect" is about guns now?

Not surprisingly, the somewhat-irrational fear of being seperated from one's guns by a liberal president has led to a sharp uptick in sales of weapons and ammunition in the US. Because, you know, taking your guns away is definitely something President Obama has time to worry about right now.

At the DFW Gun Range and Training Center, sales are up about 30 percent compared to the middle of last year. They attribute it to the new president.

Ryan Brammer works as a sales associate for the store. "Glocks are a particularly good seller. We can't keep them on the shelf now. Same with assault rifles."

I am not at all against gun ownership, or even the idea that now is an especially good time to own one. I just find it hilarious that this is the logic behind the sales boost. Score one for hyperbole-prone gun sellers/organizations. They're making a killing selling this story to gun owners.
