Obama' Gun Boom
Background checks for gun permits, as well as firearm stocks sales, have continued to soar in 2012 on fears of an Obama reelection.
According to data from the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), total background checks for firearms in February and March rose 19 percent in 2012 over the previous year.
The biggest one-year increase—26 percent—was in 2009, immediately after Obama’s election.
