Fears of a Hillary Clinton Presidency Is Driving Gun Sales Through the Roof
At a gun store in small town West Virginia, sales are booming in the wake of the most recent terrorist attack in Orlando.
“As dealers, we were already sitting very heavy on the AR-15s in anticipation of Hillary becoming president, and then the shooting happened and we’ve sold 16 just today. We sold 11 yesterday, we sold 6 the day before,” Tom Millay, president of Valley Guns II told Conservative Review. “We’ve also had a lot of people buying concealed carry weapons, at least a half a dozen in the last few days that are buying their gun for the first time.”
But Millay noted while the shooting has spiked sales over the last several days, what’s really driving the sales consistently is the prospect of a Hillary Clinton presidency.
“There’s the anticipation of a ban from Obama or Hillary that’s really moving people to buy the AR-15 style firearms,” he said.
The shop is even having a “Hillary Clinton Hot Buy” sale, encouraging customers to “get them before she does!”

“It was a calm before the storm waiting for Hillary to become president,” Millay told CR. “It’s building up and getting busier every day.”
So Hillary and Obama, a message from all gun shop owners: keep spewing your gun control rhetoric, it’s great for business! (For more from the author of “Hillary Clinton Is Driving Gun Sales” please click HERE)
