Gun Store Wants You To Piss Off Obama

Check out this clever sign from Simpsonville Gun and Pawn:

 

“It’s mainly just to sell guns, but there’s a little bit of political connotation to it also,” said Mark Teal, owner of Simpsonville Gun and Pawn.

“I just think it’s strange that he [Obama] has 24 hour security, his children and wife have 24 hour security with armed guards everywhere they go [and] it’s ok for them to have armed guards, but it’s not ok for us to protect ourselves,” said Teal.

Teal said it is fear from bad guys and the threat of political moves to remove guns from law abiding citizens that seem to boost his sales.

“When things like this happen – Sandy Hook and with this in San Bernardino – a lot of people who have never thought about owning a fire arm start thinking about it,” he said.

The stats speak for themselves. Major gun retailers like Smith and Wesson and Ruger report swells in shares in the 48 hours since the presidential address and a more than 10% surge in stocks since the San Bernardino shooting December 2nd.

Not to mention, Black Friday was the biggest day ever for background checks for gun sales, according to the FBI.

As for Teal, he stands behind his sign and it’s message, regardless of whether his gun sale spikes will ever actually anger the man in the oval office.

They don’t have a website, just a listing on Cheaper Than Dirt and a Facebook page and a Yelp page. I suggest you leave them good reviews, before the antis start trashing their reputation.
