Gun Stocks Soar, Gun Control 'Dead as an Issue'

While the White House and Senate Democrats hammered guns and gun rights during 2013, investors put their money into gun company stocks and garnered "incredible returns."

As WSJ's Marketwatch put it: "Gun control is dead as an issue."

According to The Wall Street Journal's Market Watch, "those who bought [stock in] Smith & Wesson in the aftermath of [the heinous crime at Sandy Hook Elementary] have made profits of more than 60 percent."

Those who bought Sturm, Ruger & Co. stock have made profits of "nearly 80 percent."

These investments beat "the overall stock market by more than two-to-one."
