The Obama Administration is the number one threat to the nation’s gun rights advocates. In the four years since Barack Obama was first elected president in November 2008, an estimated 67 million firearms have been purchased in the United States. In November a record 2 million guns were sold in America. This was followed up by another record in December. 2.7 million guns were sold in America in the last month of 2012.

Honest Americans Bought Enough Guns in November and December to Outfit the Entire Chinese and Indian Armies

The Obama Administration is the number one threat to the nation’s gun rights advocates. In the four years since Barack Obama was first elected president in November 2008, an estimated 67 million firearms have been purchased in the United States. In November a record 2 million guns were sold in America. This was followed up by another record in December. 2.7 million guns were sold in America in the last month of 2012.

-snip-

To put this in perspective. Chinese and Indian Standing Army Numbers:

China

- There are 2.29 active members in the Chinese Army.

India

- There are 1.13 active members in the Indian Army.

There were enough guns sold in the US in November and December to outfit each active member of the Chinese and Indian armies with a brand new gun.

I've heard that women love the S&W Bodyguard. Factory laser and ultralight.

Much of a kick? I have two S&W J-Frame revolvers & while I’m getting better at handling them, the recoil is a bit difficult, & I’ve got pretty good hand/arm-strength.

What a coincidence.....I lost all of my firearms in a tragic boating incident recently as well.

To compound the tragic loss, I injured my rotator cuff chopping through the ice so I could launch my boat. :))

This is the grand irony,
the libs endlessly complain about gun manufacturers profits, yet they made them skyrocket by successfully electing Obama twice.


Obama will probably claim that small business is booming because of his policies -but won't mention that the only small business booming happens to be firearm related.

Forget the guns. They will go after the bullets, powder, primer, shells and bullets. It is their only choice.

Brother, if the guns shows I’ve been to recently have been any indication, then no...

Just “good ol’ boys”, rebels, and yankees with attitude saying “Hell NO” with wallets that look strangely like an upraised middle finger, pointed in the general direction of DC...

...and I do means LOTS of good ol’ boys, rebels, and yankees. Lines stretching around corners, just to get in.

It’s not the Indian or Chinese Army we fear.

No. We fear that Obama is a tyrant with an agenda to undermine America and subvert our constitution. He is no constitutional scholar. He behaves like he wants a fight, not a compromise under the law of the land. He offers nothing but his position....no giving of even an inch. Just bad-mouthing and name-calling. He is behaving like a totalitarian, hard-line Stalinist. Everything has to be his way or no way!

That is not the way the political process works. We should be striving to achieve what we can agree to, not hammering the other side's position into the ground.

Of course Obama is not at the core a politician. He is an aggressive agitator. He knows nothing else but bullying. He only believes in beating others into submission.

He has yet to learn that the reed that cannot bend, breaks in the wind.

This lack of flexibility in Obama is what will have him in a full confrontation with the House, Senate, States, and taxpayers sooner or later. More likely sooner, in my opinion. We should be prepared to fight. That is what the president wants. It is so very clear.

“Evidently, women in those countries only count as fractions of a person.”

I’m sure you meant “percentages”.

S& W Airweight hammerless is a good choice. Have her pull the trigger on an empty gun to make sure she can handle the pull.

I went to Cabela’s last Monday near where I live and they had about 20,000 rounds of CCI mini-mag .22LR. Although there was no 5.56 or .223 anywhere to be found. There were about fifteen people waiting in line to look at guns and this was at 2:30 pm. I would have liked to see it at 12:00 pm on Saturday.

If obama and the libs don’t own stock in the gun and ammo companies then they are idiots.

The criminal thugs, those who shouldn’t own them and are not burdened by the law, have probably acquired just as many.
