If you objectively followed Obama's campaign messages, speeches, executive orders and all of the proposed legislative activities that came out of the White House during his 2 terms... nothing occurred that resulted in restricting gun ownership or sales. The only consistent message Obama had was we need to have responsible dialog addressing gun issues. Those were predominately following some gun related tragedy.
Somewhere people planted the seed that Obama was coming for their guns and ammo... sales rose to record levels and ammo shortages were widespread. Oh, and no one came for their guns and ammo. Obama left the White House and the bottom fell out of the whole gun market in the US. What else could have fueled such irrational behavior... fear seems to be the most likely suspect.
