It is clear that a segment of the population believed that Obama would implement gun control and seize guns. Sales surged even before his election. It doesn't matter that this was based on fear or even racism. And it hints that if there was a real push for strict gun control, there would be a corresponding real surge in sales as people stockpile guns long in advance of the law(s) being implemented.
