Saturday Morning Open Thread

Obama may suck at most everything, but he's the undisputed gun salesman of the millenium:

Late Wednesday, Sturm Ruger said that in the first quarter, it had received orders for more than 1 million units. And despite “efforts to increase production rates, the incoming order rate exceeds our capacity to rapidly fulfill these orders,” Sturm Ruger said.

...

As an industry, firearms have barely felt the impact of the downturn. In fact, the opposite has been true.

Starting in 2008, it has grown almost constantly, fueled by economic uncertainty and never-realized worries that President Barack Obama and the then-Democratic controlled Congress would seek to rein in gun rights.

I love the dismissive wave of the hand at the end of that quote, especially in light of Fast & Furious and Sarah Brady's "under the radar" comment. "Never materialized" just means they haven't gotten to it yet.

Since 2008, I've bought ... *takes off shoes* ... yeah, I've bought a few guns. And I would've bought more if ammo wasn't so damned expensive.

Next on the list is this little beaut of a summertime carry gun.

And, speaking of Fast & Furious: the administration's latest stonewalling attempt.
