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

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 just cleaned out a closet and forgot how much I had squirreled away.
But I will be looking for more, if they have it.
Don’t have the heavy lift capabilities to get em all here quickly with all thier needed crap.
I’m looking for scope mounts for an Egyptian FN-49. Freep mail if you know where to find a kit??
yep, I’d say .. probably 85% of all guns made and sold in the US since 1900 are still out there somewhere, being sold to others or handed down to the next generation.
Every person I know you owns guns owns... LOTS of guns.
300 million gun estimate is WAY low, I’d gun closer to a billion.
Recent numbers I have seen are 315 million firearms.
Then there's the little problem of a functional command structure with secure communications, part of what a "well regulated militia" really means. Try putting that together in the current electronic environment.
We have a lot of work to do.
Evidently, women in those countries only count as fractions of a person.
I had a clerk at the gun counter say that you could also fire 45 cap through those but can’t find confirmation
Fabulous news, Darlings!
I added a new .22 rifle to my arsenol and Mr. Wonderful is buying me a handgun of some sort in the very near future.
Last night, for giggles, we retro-fitted one of his bolt-action rifles with a pistol grip.
Life. Is. Good.
Now, if I can just keep getting ammo...
I love hearing stuff like that.
add two more this weekend, one for the misses and a shotgun for the house
I guess they don't add in all the guns that made their way back into the US after Obama/Holder gave them to the Mexican drug cartels.
If I only had the money, I would have bought one(s) as well. The best I can do is a sling shot and marbles. The Good News is: I’m dead on target. The Bad News is: I need more marbles...
;o]
One point that I have not seen made here in this discussions, yet...I stand to be corrected...
But...
If these sales numbers alone, are not enough of a message to the government and these temporary tenants of representation are not getting it clearly enough...I predict they will very, very soon...
I believe it is time to NOT be very cordule or nice to any of them...Including the ones that may put up a fight, but it will be feckless in content and committment in my opinion...
I bought a Ruger 10/22 in .22 LR on Friday. I can’t find any ammo around here (I have plenty stockpiled) and finally found a spare magazine today but only the factory 10 round one.
I’m trying to help a friend fine something appropriate for concealed carry. She’s 68 with arthritis. We found a Ruger 32 that she could work the slide on, but I’m worried she’d have trouble loading the magazine, even with a re-loader. I think a revolver would be better, due to her hand-strength issues & was looking at a S&W 638 Airweight on-line. But I think it’d be best to have her see it/try it in person. Anyone with an idea of what might be suitable?
