| Sellers said they expect sales to continue to increase this year because of crime and it being an election year. Uncertainty over a new president and his policies can drive consumers to stock up on guns and ammunition. Sales generally increased in 2008 and 2009, after the election of President Obama. |
I’ve settled on the firearms I like so it’s just getting ammo for them on a continual basis. Shop for groceries, pick up a box or two (Walmart) - this is when I’m home. In Australia both are very controlled.
Gun sales increase in 2012
Probably due to Freepers replacing all those guns they keep
losing in boating accidents.
I guess this means Obama is the NRA Firearms Salesman of the year three years running!
Guns, ammunition and good guitars are about the best investments you can make right now. Sorry if I offended the gold guys. Gold is nice too.
Told by a friend in the weapons industry that Rugur SOLD OUT its ENTIRE 2012 production line on the SECOND WEEK in January.
We have winner for best thread post!!
I don't know why they had to repeat themselves.
Are you serious??!!! That is a lot of guns!!! Are you sure it is not just a popular type or model gun. You are talking about long guns and handguns total!!! If true that is a lot of guns.
“In the gun business, fear drives sales.”
No. In the gun business, FREEDOM drives sales.
LOL, you too?
See tag line.

That is what he said. All have been sold, I imagine to gunshops and dealers nationally, and perhaps internationally. All of them. And my local dealer has guns flying out of his store. Cabelas still has people lined up three deep on weekends.
Buy the guns now, go canoeing later.
No. In the gun business, FREEDOM drives sales.
You are correct, if the concept includes the "loss of freedom".
We are only one liberal USSC vote away from losing our 2d Amendment.
Buy them while you can, what you do after they are declared illegal is up to you.
That data the Feds have from the 4473’s is going to be useless for them.
My husband did his part and got a new handgun last weekend. Plus he’s going to get my elderly dad’s M1 carbine tonight.
My husband bought his handgun last weekend at Bass Pro and he said it was VERY busy in there when he went back to purchase it.
For Denver area female FReepers or men with a significant other, Firing Line in Aurora has a Free Ladies Day/Night at their range:

Skydancer , you just described what I did today. Sixty bucks worth of Wally world groceries and 200 bucks worth of rounds for the all three of my pistols.
Your post is invisible :)
“That data the Feds have from the 4473’s is going to be useless for them.”
Sure hope you’re right. What if the BATFE goons show up at your doorstep with a stack of 4473’s with your signature and demand, “OK, citizen, where are all these guns you bought?”
“WHERE ARE THEY, B!TCH!!!?”
“Uh, I sold them all. Here, here’s the receipts.”
(Sounds of beatings and screams)
Please tell me I’m exaggerating or am overwrought about the abrogation of the rule of law.
My favorite is my Marlin .22mag with a nine power scope. I also have a 22-250 Savage with a scope about the length of the barrel. Both neat shooters. I pick up a box of each whenever I go shopping at home.
When I sell a gun I am depressed for weeks, and the only cure is to buy two.
For all you people out there that think that a firearm is like a Barbie doll, it’s naked without
a lot of accessories.........

I did my part: Brought a Ruger SP101 .357 snubbie.
That’s a good one to have.
Oh... it’s coming, FRiend. It’s coming VERY soon, I am certain.
We won’t have an election in November. Watch what happens this summer with the “Occupy Movement.” It’s all being telegraphed. Obama doesn’t need to worry about losing in November if he declares martial law and suspends elections.
The only hope for a non-violent resolution would be for Governors to step up and declare State sovereignty. Call up militiamen and women. Once the South “rises again” and long lines of militia are shown on national TV ready to go to battle against the Liberals, there will be a sudden collapse of support for the Federal government and a power vacuum this country has never seen.
Suspension of disbelief is all that’s necessary for fiction to become reality.
I don't know why they had to repeat themselves.
POST OF THE DAY!!
Come November 6, I fear we are going to witness the crime of the century.
Is there a way we can organize a Freep-A-Thon purchase of handguns ?
How great would it be, if we all went and bought a firearm, en-masse, with the sellers knowing that it was FR that did it ?
Maybe make a specific date for purchases, and when the news reports “over 10,000 firearms were purchased this saturday..”, and we see the media have a melt-down, It’ll be worth it.
Not guilty!
But private sales are perfectly legal. How are they going to beat a name out of you that you never knew in the first place?
My rifles are a savage 30-06, FN FAL 308 and a pair of marlin 22s semi auto
Don't forget the big wholesale "buffer" in between Ruger and the retailers. Cabelas might buy direct from Ruger, but mostly its wholesale companies like Davidson's that front the money to buy Ruger products by the boxcar-load. The independent gun shops all buy from the middle-men.
The only part of the Dicks near me that is busy is the gun department.
I’ve been doing this for the past couple of years. I work right next to a Walmart, so I stop in for groceries a couple of times a week. While I’m there, I pick up a bag of beans, a bag of rice, a container of salt, and a box or two of ammo to go in my emergency closet.
Are you required to keep those kinds records like that on all of your private possessions?
It would be very difficult for them to do that to everyone who owns a gun – thus this is the reasons they will try to get people to submit to registration ‘voluntarily’.
I hope not, because if Bummer “wins” with fraud (it would have to be either with fraud, or with Romneypuke being crammed down our gullets, but that would also be with fraud), I think CW2 would be inevitable.
That should be:
