Here’s the good news: Not all niches of the economy are adversely affected by the recession.
Here’s the bad news: Gun dealers are among the most immune.
The upshot: Assault weapons have never been more popular.
The reason: A fear that President Obama will enact a ban on assault weapons.
The rationale: Both Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden “support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.”
The reality: If you need a weapon capable of firing 600-800 rounds per minute, you are much more of a concern than any ban that has nothing to do with handguns, rifles or shotguns.
