The world’s greatest gun salesman spikes sales again…

ak47The Real Revo – by R.D. Walker

Barack Obama is, by far, the greatest gun salesman in human history. It is hard to believe he doesn’t work on commission.

Thirty-six hours after the Obama administration banned importation of the classic brand of AK-47 assault rifles as part of sanctions against Russia, a Maryland dealer specializing in the weapon took stock of its inventory.

There was nothing left.

Laboring almost nonstop, workers at Atlantic Firearms in Bishopville, a Worcester County community on the Eastern Shore, had shipped hundreds of Russian-made AK-47s — an assault rifle prized by both consumers and despots — as buyers wiped out gun dealers’ inventories around the country. The frenzy was brought on, in part, by a suspicion among some gun owners that the Russia-Ukraine conflict was a backdoor excuse to ban guns many Democrats don’t like. Some customers bought eight to 10 rifles for nearly $1,000 each or more, stockpiling them as investments.

“The gun community moved very, very quickly,” said Blaine Bunting, president of Atlantic Firearms. “I don’t see this ban going away.”

The AK-47 buying frenzy presents yet another example of a paradoxical consequence of trying to limit gun sales: booming demand.

If Obama’s policies stimulated the rest of the economy the way he has stimulated the gun industry, we would be living in a golden era of universal prosperity.

One thought on “The world’s greatest gun salesman spikes sales again…

  1. Note: Only Russian manufactured weapons and ammunition were banned. Romanian, Polish, Bulgarian, etc, Ak’s and accessories are still available and in good supply.

    My personal opinion on the “best” built and most accurate of Ak’s currently available are the “Arsenal” brand, which just introduced two new Ak’s that are superb.
