[MickeyW]

Shares of the two publicly traded gun makers rallied on Monday, a day after President Barack Obama gave a prime-time address calling for a modest reduction in the availability of firearms.

Both Smith & Wesson SWHC, +6.32% and Sturm Ruger & Co. RGR, +5.38% rose over 7% on Monday.

Smith & Wesson has climbed 116% this year and Sturm Ruger has jumped 69%.

Obama on Sunday night said no one on the no-fly list should be able to buy a gun and that it should be harder for people to buy powerful assault weapons like the ones used in the San Bernardino massacre.

I remember when the rabid right 'gun' huggers couldn't say those two maker's names without spitting. My how times have changed...

With a salesman like Obama, who needs the NRA?

I guess the speculators who have bought up ARs to sell at huge profits once the 'total' ban goes into effect are just gonna have to wait a bit longer and with more in circulation maybe not make the killing they hoped for. Smith and Wesson should put a bust of President Obama in the front hall. He has done more to boost their profits than any 'gun' hugger.... eace

yeah, he sold millions of guns that normally would have never been bought

the range I shoot at got a special deal about 3 years ago-Bushmaster AR-15s 100 bucks below wholesale but only if the guy bought several pallet loads. He did figuring he would never see the price that low again and his employees were all questioning his sanity since that money was originally designed to expand the range. well Sandy Hook hit 4 days after he received a truckload and he had sent out a flyer advertising those rifles at a good price. well every single rifle was gone in a week and the guy make thousands upon thousands even though he couldn't (and wouldn't) jack the prices up as other dealers did. Thanks to Obama, it was the best business speculation/decision this guy ever did.

I was there for most of the panic buying. I bought TWO STI target rifles that were also on sale-but I had been planning on that for months and was waiting because I knew few people were buying 1900 target rifles and the employees told me when the sale would start and made sure two of those rifles were set aside for me. But 90% of the buyers didn't care what features the AR they bought had. One guy bought six and said he was going to turn around and sell them that afternoon. I informed him that might constitute dealing without a license. He still bought them

but for Obama's rants this never would have happened

The new supreme court decision s going to change all that.

Yes you have told the 'two pallets- one range' story before. While I know it hurts like fire to give President Obama any credit for anything- I'll give credit where credit is due-

Fear mongers who made all sorts of crazy wild claims about 'gun' grabbing- they more so than any Presidential statements (I mean with Congress the way it is do YOU think any new laws would pass to limit mags or weapons at the federal level????

So the guy who bought six with every intention of reselling them immediately was just given a pass by you? Seems odd for someone who claims to have spent a life in law... but does show how lax the 'gun' laws are.

As far as President Obama doing any rant... seriously most PUBs are bashing him for being too laid back and low key in his speech... funny you call it a rant.... eace

That wasn't a decision. The SC decided not to hear the case.

Very correct! What a bozo obozo is! We need a new President......... FAST!

The lines at gun shops in SoCal were 30-40 deep. According to ABC News, most of the purchases were AR15s!

I got more than I need but I just picked up a LH (RH was sold out) STAG 9mm. Shoots great. The wife is gonna use it for steel carbine matches. Put a red dot Bushnell on the top

 

[Μολὼν λαβέ]

Bill Clinton's and Obama's attempts at gun control have had just the opposite effect.

Either they did it on purpose or they're really not so bright. I'm guessing its the latter.

Obama has been an incredible gun salesman for the last handful of years.

Want to elaborate on that one?

With a salesman like Obama, who needs the NRA?

The NRA doesn't sell guns, it fights for people's rights under the 2nd Amendment, provides range training for civilians and police, provides instructors for everyone, including the kids...and many other activities. They do a lot of good for America.

and btw, their Christmas catalog is out, with some great gifts for all kinds of folks.

Ain't gonna be no total ban. If there were, there will be a huge number of law abiding citizens turned into criminals and a lot of Civil Disobedience.

I heard that B. Husein and Mooch, have a lot of stock in S&W.

As I understand it, he's retired and it's none of his business what the guy does. If you care so much, have at it.

Let me say it a little more clearly: "sell".

I say buy and buy a lot. Or invest in the equipment needed to make your own w/o serial numbers. Ammo up too.

Besides Eric Holder and B. Husein, have already established a sales pipeline to Mexico.

Well good for her. All women should learn how to shoot and shoot well. Maybe they can save some of the girlie men at mass shooting events!
Just a few armed citizens in San Berdoo, at Umpqua Comm. College, Sandy Hook and everywhere else, could have stopped or minimized the carnage.

They are just typical liberal douchebags...pandering to their butt buddies!

Pretty much....I'm sure I heard he has stock in the gun companies....who needs insider trading when you can promote your own stocks.

I'm aware the NRA doesn't sell guns. They have sold surplus weapons in the past under the CMP. I don't know is that still holds true. Obama is considered the best gun salesman ever by a lot of people.

My first official training was at around 9 YO. NRA was the provider.

Yep...me too, I was somewhat older at the time. I liked the organization so well, I joined and became a Life Member and have been an NRA trained Police and Civilian Instructor for decades.

This is simply Wall Street's read on what will likely happen next.

And they are right.

Sturm Ruger makes the very best combat carbines in their Mini series. You can pick the caliber you like. Their 5.56x45 is just fine for CQB and out to 500 yards. It is also accurate enough to make a hostage rescue shot with -- better than any pistol would be.

Smith & Wesson makes pretty good pistols. They are famous for their revolvers in heavy caliber like 357, 44, and 500, but they also cater to the Glock-clone crowd. They also make really beautiful 1911A1's as well.

In the world of self defense and military offense these are the cutting edge weapons.

If you want hunting guns buy from Winchester or Remington -- but fewer and fewer people are hunting these days.

But more and more people do not trust their governments to protect them.

And 14 people died and 19 more were wounded in San Bernardino recently, proving that nobody can save you from a terrorist assault. You can only save yourself and then only if you are properly armed.

 

[Riveroaks]

That's called the law of unintended consequences.

All the gun manufacturers especially the AR-clones can thank him in their prayers.

It used to be that when I went to the local gun ranges there would occasionally be an AR here and there.

Now practically all the long guns there are AR's and only occasionally do you see something else.

Clinton was a traitor. He should have known better.

BHO is a city kid who did not know any better. He just fears and therefore hates guns. He wants to make them all go away.

12 more months and counting.

However don't get your hopes up yet because Hillary is no different than Bill or BHO on guns. She is a Boston girl and also afraid of guns.

 

[Riveroaks]

I remember when the rabid right 'gun' huggers couldn't say those two maker's names without spitting. My how times have changed...

I don't remember that.

S&W has always been hallowed and Ruger has always been fairly unknown.

Ohhhh, I'm well aware of what a treacherous bitch Hillary is....on many topics!

Any fool, stupid enough to support Hillary....loves Satan equally!

In the Spring of 1989 Bill Ruger came out FOR magazine limits. It never became law but he was on record in support of a 15 round max cap in mags.

Smith and Wesson signed an agreement with the Clinton admin to do the following-

- make sure all gun show sales had a back round check
- wait as long as required to make sure a buyer isn't a felon
- sell only to people who have a safety certificate
- multiple purchases only get one firearm that day, the rest in 14 days, the purchase is reported to the ATF
- employee training on strawman purchases, illegal transfers, firearm laws, safety
- one million dollar insurance policy
- upgrade inventory control
- security plan to safe guard weapons
- under 18 requires a parent to accompany
- don't sell high cap mags or semi autos
- provide LE, and oversight board with documents showing compliance
- maintain record of all ATF trace requests and notify manufacturers of trace requests
- don't sell to other dealers under indictment
- no straw purchases

These both caused rabid 2nd A supporters to lose what little they had left of their minds after a 'commie' like Clinton won Office. That elaborate enough for you?

Of course there will be no prohibition, that is what makes the rabid 2nd A ranters so silly. They look for any attack they can make on 'gun' grabbers- real or imagined- and ignore all the interviewed weapon buyers who cite terrorism and home defense for their purchase... firearm store owners are saying they are completely sold out on 9mm PISTOLS, so the focus may not be so much as buying before the ban but home defense and fear of terrorists- difficult to carry an AR around compared to a pistol....

If anything ISIL should get a commission check for the boost in sales.

So ya got any proof what is in President Obama's investment portfolio? Or just more factless ranting????
