Although I don't have access to gun sales statistics, many people I know did purchase firearms just after the 0’s election. I wonder if it would be possible to match gun sales statistics with whomever is in the White House (D or R).

2011 Smashes Sales Record for Guns

Dec 27, 2011

This was a banner year for guns -- 2011 is set to smash the record for gun sales.

The record for a single year was set just last year, when the FBI reported that 14,409,616 background checks were requested. In 2011 that figure will top 16 million. FBI spokesman Steve Fischer said just 1.3% of background checks result in denial of a weapon.
