Surprise, surprise. The stock markets crashed a bit the day after the US Election and have not yet bounced back. Could it be that business knows something the voters do not?
But here is an anomaly. The famous gun manufacturer, Smith and Wesson had a 10% gain while almost all other stocks fell. Isn't it interesting that since the last election four years ago, Smith and Wesson share values have gone up over 100% and then just now another 10%? The reason is clear. The American public has the strong suspicion that now that Obama has a mandate for another four years, he will push his agenda for gun control. Hence, everyone so inclined is getting their guns while the getting is good.
The second amendment to the US constitution gives people the right to own and bear arms. Why would this be? The founders of America so believed in freedom from tyranny that they gave the citizens the right to own and bear arms for protection from bad people? No, it is for protection from a tyrannical government. And what happens when the government takes away that right?
Well, there is a history to follow as the poster below shows.
