Is this any surprise? Tell me I'm not the only one that sees the correlation between what's different about now and 2007.

Seems like I remember hearing the NRA had named Obama gun salesman of the year for the last 5 years in a row, and he's the predicted winner of the next 3 years to come.

A big ditto!!! That should go up a lot with IL finally issuing permits. I know a lot of people there who have wanted CC for a long time!

I have friends and family who are in the pipe now. If the shooting stats go down in Chicago that would be the anti's worst nightmare. But not to worry Rahm will take credit that his "policies" are why the stats went down. We will have to wait and see.

He's just building on the successes of the previous presidential gun salesman, Slick Willy!
