Baus In March 2008, a Gallup poll found that an overwhelming majority of the United States public—73%—believes that the Second Amendment guarantees the right of Americans to own firearms. Yet, to hear the Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence (formerly Handgun Control Inc.) tell it, America voted overwhelmingly...

Barack Obama: The Outdoor Wire's "Gun Salesman of the Year"

12:10am Friday, January 16, 2009
By Jim Shepherd In recognition of the unprece­dented demand for firearms by nervous consumers, The Outdoor Wire has named President-elect Barack Obama its "Gun Salesman of the Year".
