President Obama Named ‘Firearms Salesman of the Year’ by New Hampshire Gun Shop

A gun shop in New Hampshire has named President Barack Obama “Firearms Salesman of the Year.” It is, of course, a sarcastic title awarded for his gun control efforts, which has sent millions of concerned Americans to gun shops seeking guns and ammo in case gun control legislation is passed.

One poster on the front window of the gun shop depicts Obama as “Firearms Salesman of the Year.” Below the president’s picture are two semi-automatic rifles.

A second poster to the left shows head shots of Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong. The caption below the photo reads, “All Experts Agree, Gun Control Works.”

The gun shop, Collectable Arms & Ammo, is located in Merrimack, N.H. and the owner is not apologizing for the display.

“We like to have the creative storefronts which are sort of fun in one aspect and in another aspect if we have an opportunity to make a statement we’ll do that as well,” Cox told CBS Boston.

However, Cox did clarify that he is not connecting Obama with the three infamous dictators as each display sends its own message. In fact, he said the Obama display was the shop’s way of thanking the president for sending gun sales skyrocketing with all the gun control talk.

Cox went on to say that Hitler, Zedong and Stalin are good examples that prove an armed citizenry is better able to protect itself from tyranny. Each of the infamous dictators implemented gun control as a means of consolidating power.

As far as complaints from residents, Cox says it’s not coming down.

“I certainly would not ask them to change a flag hanging on their homes or a sign in their yards because I am offended by it or disagree with it,” he added. “I will support anybody’s freedom of speech.”

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

Ok, gun shop in New Hampshire, you have called it correctly, by naming President Barack Obama “Firearms Salesman of the Year.” It falls right in line with the blame for Sequestration!

  Just don’t bother giving him a commission on sales because he already gets that every time he and family go on vacation(s) with armed guards.

  A gun maker should name a commemorative AR-15 after him.. Call it the A-2 for the Assault on the 2nd amendment.

While in a gun shop today, I couldn’t miss the sign that read:

If you voted for Obama, please leave immediately. We will NOT sell you a damn thing”

“…says Cox”?
Can we have a name here, Blaze?…
or does this guy just go by the name “Cox”?

is he a Brazilian soccer player-turned-US-gun shop owner?

I just hope the gun store has their books and licenses in order and their taxes paid, I think I see the IRS headed in their direction.

High prices is the same as regulation that infringes on the rights of others?

Gun control in the hands of politicians instead of citizens, should never be advocated, even in jest?

I’ve said for a long time that every gun and ammo manufacturer in the country should put up “Employee of the Month” plaques with Barry’s face on them. Line the halls, month after month after month after month. That’s what I’d do if I owned one of those businesses. After all, that’s one of the few things he’s actually helped in this country (for all the wrong reasons, though).

Nobody sells a Glock like Barrack.

What the president failed to mention today, is that we have 240 thousand Homeland Security agents which some may be furl-lowed( I doubt it). But why on Gods green earth do we have that many agents, If there is no threat from terrorists.??

  Monk, you think they going to do something to him??? Sounds like a threat to me…guess he will send Janet Napilapper over there and make sure it is secure, just like she does to our southern borders, with her 200,000 folks armed with AR-15′s & Glock .40 S&W’s…
