Gun shops see sales boom after Obama election victory

MIDLOTHIAN, Va. (AP) — Barack Obama’s election victory is already proving a boom to one demographic group that may not have backed him: gun shop owners.
Gun enthusiasts nationwide have been stocking up on firearms out of fear that an Obama administration along with a Congress controlled by Democrats will institute tough new gun laws.
As an Obama win began to look increasingly likely in October, the FBI says background checks for gun purchases spiked by 62,000 compared with October the year before — an increase of 25 percent.
While no data is available for gun purchases this week, gun shops from suburban Virginia to the Rocky Mountain state are reporting record sales.
One Virginia woman says her 10-year-old son had only one question when he heard Obama had been elected: Does this mean I won’t get a new gun for Christmas?
That was enough to send her to the gun shop yesterday. She picked out a 20-gauge shotgun for him and says she’ll likely buy at least four other weapons before Obama takes office in January.
