The National Shooting Sports Foundation issued today a report on the economic impact of the firearms industry. As my favorite Meth addict/dealer/manufacturer on TV Jesse Pinkman says, "That's mad cheddar yo!".
Indeed it is, when you see $27.8 Billion in long form ($27,846,304,300) it really is hard to fathom THAT many guns and that much ammo being sold. But the thing that gets me is the ~ $8.6 billion increase from 2008. That's 45%! Fo-tay-Five! So Barry O is roughly worth roughly $9 billion to the firearms industry and they're trying to get him voted out of office, or are they?
No, I'm not trying to start a conspiracy rumor, but one has to wonder how the folks selling arms and ammo and accessories REALLY feel about The One going for a second term? I suppose it's up to his performance over the next couple of years.
