5. Gun makers stocks have increased 900% since Obama took office (NY Times)

From a NY Times article back in Janurary 2016:

"Since President Obama took office in 2009, shares of Smith & Wesson and Sturm, Ruger have each increased more than 900 percent, far surpassing the return of the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index (up 147 percent) and even outperforming the stock of Apple (up 800 percent)."
