  • Pretty straightforward bet. There's a full out panic run on guns. If Mitt Rommney wins, the panic ends and these companies just hit a brick wall at 100 miles an hour.

    If Obama wins, he will likely attempt serious gun control....which means these companies hit a brick wall at just 90 miles per hour.
