65.4 Million Gun Purchases Since Obama Took Office, 91% More Than Bush's First-Term Total

Quote
There have been 65,376,373 background checks completed for Americans purchasing firearms since February of 2009, the first full month of Barack Obama's presidency.

That's just the ones we know about.

I suppose that was mostly new hardware entering the market. If so... NICE!

That's an incomplete number, because I know the surge in purchases started once he was elected (actually, once it was clear he had a significant chance to win, but "elected" is a good, clear line.)

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Traffic to my site (which means interest in gun stores) was increasing as election day neared, but spiked the day after, and didn't start to really get back to normal for months.

I buy guns because I am angry about a black man in the White House. Don't you?  :laugh:
