Why Obama’s the ‘Greatest Salesman in America’

A popular retailer has declared Obama the ultimate sales resource, according to a recent statement.

Ammo.net, a firearms/ammunition retailer, declared Obama the “Greatest Gun Salesman in America” on its website recently, as a result of skyrocketing sales since the president’s inauguration in 2008.

The online retailer credits Obama for keeping sales high despite a down economy, as gun lovers rush to stockpile arms for fear that Obama will propose stricter laws for gun ownership.

“President Obama’s perceived hostility towards gun owners has been one of the key factors behind the multi-year financial boom the firearms industry continues to enjoy,” a viral statement on the company’s website read.

The statement also includes a visual chart, which breaks down the hundreds of millions of dollars in increased sales arms dealers in this country have enjoyed as a result of Obama’s anti-gun stance.

The question now becomes, “If there’s been no major shift in the president’s first four years in terms of gun legislation, is the fear real, or is it just a really handy marketing tool the arms industry has used to its advantage?”

As a sales professional and gun owner, isn’t this a bit of a stretch? This is opposite of what a sales professional should be, which is honest and fullfils a need versus coersion and creating a ruse. The Government giveth and the Government can taketh! Lets see where his sales go down the road if Obama has his way.

Jim, well said. Miss-information, half truths and lying will only get you so far, eventually you will get caught in your own lies and deception. The question is not about a major shift in Obama’s legislation, it is about what Hillary is doing under his leadership (oxymoron) with the UN concerning small arms treaty, oh yes, she signed it so it is already done. The gun retailer better enjoy it while he has it because it is all about to come crashing down. Nothing this administration is doing is open and in the light, they operate in the dark and once it is done then the masses will find out and it will be too late. Remember Nancy Pelosi proved this point when she said, “You have to pass to know what’s in it” concerning the move to single payer healthcare…
