MERRIMACK, NH (CBS) – One of the posters in the front window of a New Hampshire gun shop depicts President Obama as “Firearms Salesman of the Year.” Below the president are two AK-47 rifles.
A second poster featuring the images of Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong accompanies a statement that reads, “All Experts Agree, Gun Control Works.”

These types of signs have become more common since the gun control debate recently grabbed headlines around the country, but the signs in front of Collectible Arms & Ammo in Merrimack are still irritating to some residents.
Chuck Mower, who lives down the street from the shop, says the message is over the top and unnecessary.
“I can’t even imagine any president’s picture being portrayed on the front of a business with crossed assault weapons underneath it,” Mower said.
Store co-owner Keith Cox says the President Obama sign isn’t a joke. He credits the president for a boom in business.
Cox says the signs have gotten mostly positive feedback, and he has no plans to take them down.
“This is simply nothing more than a message of free speech. We are not violating any laws. If people are offended, they can choose not to look at our storefront,” Cox said.
