In a year marked by a relentless Democratic push for more gun control, stocks of two of the most prominent gun makers—Smith & Wesson and Sturm, Ruger & Co—saw their value nearly double.

A record number of gun-buyers flooded into retail stores on Black Friday, according to federal data, which showed that background checks surged to an unprecedented 185,345.

On the heels of six consecutive record-breaking months of gun sales, the FBI predicts Black Friday gun sales will break records as well.

Obama and his fellow Democrats have been in a full sprint for gun control since December 14, 2012, leading to more Americans buying more guns and pushing the firearms industry to historic heights in the process.
