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 just ordered a Glock 26 (the 9mm baby glock) from Buds, but haven't received it yet. They still have some in inventory.

har har har
China’s PLA - People’s Liberation Army -
“The PLA is the world’s largest military force, with approximately 3 million members, and has the world’s largest (active) standing army, with approximately 2.25 million members. “ (wikipedia)

NRA membership - almost 5 million

But these are dwarfed by the REAL “largest Army in the World”
(Keep in mind these are only the ‘registered ones’ in this ONE area - in ONLY 4 states, outnumbers the PLA)

There must be more than double this number that own guns - and many more in other states that are registered hunters -

And together, they ARE a STANDING ARMY - per the 2nd Amendment. Make these 2 videos go viral - people will GET IT.

I truly hope this is accurate because not a one was purchased so that a gun owner would have something to turn in

GREAT statement.

And the gun-grabbers must realize this - maybe they're falling asleep at night praying not to wake up in the morning with a horses head on their pillow - "Compliments of FREE American Citizens"

Think we have enough guns for a little war eh... unforutnalty their not the right kind of guns. An armed population we could have with small arms, but not nearly enough skill & training.

Gun clubs and sports hunting and shooting competition training is the next step. Maybe when we have a gun culture we will have the raw materials necessary to build a REAL Citizen army to stand in defense of liberty.

prices have put the items out of reach for many.

I hope the accessory backlog fades so those prices come back down to earth.

Police agencies, especially ellected police, have a “let the judge sort it out” and just violate the law attitude. Remember Katrina? Police KNEW they were in the wrong but did it anyways. They figure they can always appologize to the judge and get away with it. The prosecutors (all hacks) just want the arms forfeited to make any trunped up charges, they know are false, go away.

In the event of evacuation or natural disaster FEMA prohibits the second amendment in shelters.

The few reports I’ve read out of the shot show say thing are going to settle down in this quarter and should be more normal by the second quarter.

FEMA is ANOTHER federal agency that SHOULD NOT exist.

Too many people for too long have been conditioned to believe it is the governments’ job to fix everything even if we must give up akll our freedoms to make it happen.

Your friend might have been looking at the same gun I have been thinking about. It’s a nice size little hand gun and it uses 45long or 410 ammo.

It’s called the judge public defender. I haven’t ever considered owning a gun either and I am older than your friend. When I went to the local gun store, I told them that I thought a 12 gauge was a perfect weapon for self defense, except that the barrell was too long for the modern hallways.

I told them I wanted it for self defense only, and something that I could use, even though I likely would not have perfect aim for a while, and certainly didn’t want the kick that a 12 gauge would have.

So the judge is what he advised me to get. He didn’t have any in stock, but had some coming in a couple of weeks. I told my Hubby that he still owes me a Christmas present and that is what I want.

However, there would be a background check, and we might not want to get on anybody’s radar. We don’t go boating, so couldn’t use that boating accident excuse.LOL

Following Gun Grabber logic, wouldn’t this rash of Gun buys result in Millions of Gun Related Deaths?

I have a nice small collection, but I aspire to own an Arsenal some day. That day isn’t going to happen as long as I live in CA though.

“Tragic.

Impossible to verify, but tragic still.”

I’m pretty sure those “Bitcoin” guys lost theirs in a boating accident as well.
