The spurt in terror attacks, including the recent two in England, are pushing gun sales into record territory just months after predictions that the election of a pro-gun president would end the rush.
The FBI just reported that the number of gun sales background checks for May was the highest ever for that month, 1,942,677, a trend that will make 2017 the first or second highest year for gun sales.
The continued growth of gun sales is in stark contrast to some in the media and industry who feared that the election of President Trump would snuff out sales that in 2016 were driven in part by concerns Hillary Clinton would win and implement strict gun control and an assault weapons ban.
But 2017's high sales numbers has show that there is more than politics involved when people consider buying a weapon, especially in the new era of street terrorism like that seen in London and Manchester recently.
At the one of the nation's largest gun stores, Hyatt Guns in Charlotte, N.C., sales are up in reaction to safety concerns.
"We are continuing to see brisk sales of self-defense and concealed carry firearms. We're also continuing to see new gun buyers," said Hyatt Marketing Director Justin Anderson.
"People are nervous about their safety, and rightly so. It's a dangerous world we live in and American citizens know that we're not immune to terrorist attacks. They're taking the necessary steps to defend themselves. Frankly, the most recent terrorist attack in London underscores the importance of an armed populace. Remember that when seconds count the police are only minutes away," he added.

This sums up why our second amendment is probably our most important amendment!
A few days ago, the mayor of London said that global warming was the biggest threat..

Now after 7 decades of Brit PC bs and disarming the good Brits, this is their new rule!

I think it’s on page 3 of the koran:
Confine your “religious outreach” to areas with strong gun control laws.
I feel naked here in New Jersey. The only legal reason I can carry my gun (locked up in the trunk) is when I go to the firing range. This has to change. My local rep agrees (and he is a Democrat) but can’t seem to move the ball.
Bumper Stickers!
bttt
Price of handguns in this area is collapsing, btw.
Your local rep only agrees with you when he is talking to you face to face, he wants your vote.
He’s a DEMOCRAT; he can’t move the ball because he DOESN’T WANT TO.
God: depart from me for I never knew you!
OOOPS wrong thread...LOL!
NJ isn't a "Shall Issue" state? Damn.
If I hear anymore bragging about the London Suspects being stopped in 8 Minutes I am going to freaking puke!
8 minutes is an eternity!
The Battle of Midway was basically decided in less than 8 crucial minutes.
I’ve been a vocal proponent of this very thing, prior to “the-queer-mulatto”.
As far back as 1986, I was telling friends that if they ever heard that ‘ackbar’ sort of stuff, and they were afraid to carry a gun, or too stupid to see the reason for one, beat feet in any direction but towards that sound.
But, if you were of the mettle, arm yourself, and return fire, more than once!

Well, it has to be. Liberals are rolling over and making excuses for rioters, gang-bangers, assaults on innocent citizens, looters, arsonist and terrorists.
It’s unbelievable.
Firearm and ammo prices though still high, are rapidly coming down. A couple of raghead attacks or urban riots here can instantly re-ignite sales, however.
Stock up on ammo and other firearm related items now because things can, and most likely will, go south in the not-too-distant future.
Just look at how Whites are being targeted by the Colleges, Universities, and Media now. It will soon be very dangerous to be a White person in this country. Be ready.
I am also in a “slave” state of NJ. I cannot wait to get out. My birth state is PA and that Governor is a complete A-hole. 2A is the most important amendment.
Check out pages dealing with white South African farmer murders.
These things don't, and will never happen in places like Boise, because too many of us are armed, and aware of the situation around us. There's a reason terrorists hit soft targets, because they know they have 8 minutes to kill and maim as much as they want.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I’ve got all my other licenses and permits to practice the rest of the Bill Of Rights too, although my Freedom of religion and speech permits are close to expiring. Gotta get new background checks for those.
What a pack of feces.
Eff the State!
