Gun salesman-in-chief: 52,600 a day under Obama, more seen under Hillary

Gun sales are on a pace to break last year's record of more than 23 million, a boon to the U.S. industry and gun stores thanks to election-year worries about gun control and recent terror attacks, according to government figures and experts.

Under Obama, background checks for guns reached 141.4 million through the end of May, amounting to sales of about 52,600 a day, according to the FBI. Last year, the FBI conducted more than 23 million background checks, which are generally used to figure sales of new and used weapons.

Proof that fear mongering is profitable for some people.

Call it what you want, I call it a hedge against tyranny! Buying guns, ammo and all the accessories associated with them, is a damn smart move and stimulates the economy.
Arms and ammo makers are working around the clock, supporting themselves and their families and that reflects on all commerce in the USA. Too bad some folks are too stupid to participate and support US manufactured goods!!

Me either. But I have a lifetime supply.....

All sold to refill gun owners arsenals.

That's a damn good thing Manc! :thumbs:
But I am confused about the refill part? For most, I would say it amounts to increasing the stock. Kind of like owning 100 heard of cattle and buying 20 more....not a refill, just a betterment.
Smart moves all around. :2razz:

Congrats on Brexit now you Brits need to get your guns back

Yes they do, but they won't, they enjoy victimology too much. :lamo

Not really, from personal experience of watching what my friends and family have done over the last 6 years a whole lot of them have bought several guns and at least half did not have one before that. People know that there is an effort to greatly restrict or remove all together the 2nd A rights of the citizens. Don't believe me watch Obama and especially Hillary when she get's into office. If you do not believe it or are anti-gun then don't do anything and do not own them, my opinion is that you may really regret that one day.

if the Democrats didn't have bangasms every time there is a shooting of (mostly white people-killings of blacks by blacks in chicago and other DNC run urban areas don't seem to garner much press attention) people who aren't criminals, this would never happen.

If only everything was simple as a race argument, right?

maybe he thinks firearms are like magazines. (as did that brain dead Demotard office holder). once the bullets in the firearm are expended, the firearm is no longer able to be used ever again

Hahaha. There are more gun owners that never kill anyone than there are Brits. More people that have shown they can own firearms responsibly than brits. More people that have shown they are more trustworthy than the typical British citizen. When you compare how many gun murders per lawful gun owner there are between the U.S. and the UK, there is very little difference. Go figure.

most of us expect to be treated like adults and act like adults. Apparently most brits want to be treated like children

Fine. Capitalism is what Built America!

You would. Right now I don't own a gun, but if there is ever a serious effort by the left to restrict gun ownership, I will go out and buy more than one.

Buy now Fletch, the prices are good and the availability is too. If you wait too long, the availability will dry up and there go the prices.

It's hard for me to fathom people not having at least one gun. I did once....................back when I was 19.

I concur. I would suggest getting things that have a decent chance of getting banned or nerfed: AR 15 and pistols with high-cap, as well as extra mags for each. A decent reasonably priced "starter" AR would be the Smith & Wesson Sport. As for pistol, that really depends on how it feels to you when you shoot. For a reasonably priced, reliable, and tons of after-market add-ons it's hard to beat a Glock
