Reply #2: A gunsmith I know said the same thing - "Obama is the best thing that

ever happened to his business".

Not sure how he connected a booming business with Obama but he did. I think the press and the NRA has done a good job making sure that everyone thinks he is some kind of gun grabbing politician. As far as I can see, all evidence is to the contrary. And I live in MA - not a particularly gun friendly state.

I know, Obama has said a few things that on the face of it sounds like pandering to the gun control lobby. But despite all the nonsense around this issue, I still think that actions speak much louder than words, especially when the words are coming from a politician.

on edit - Just read some of the comments to that piece. Pretty sad state of affairs.
