The liberal media should have pushed for this years ago
In the last eight years, the liberal media’s call for more gun control has backfired. Even as the media have echoed the narrative of the Democrats following every violent incident involving a firearm, the American people have rejected their propaganda.
Purchasing a gun requires a background check through an FBI database, so that measure is an indication of the trend for buying guns. Here’s what it tells us: In 2009, the first year of the 44th president, there were just over 14 million background checks run through the FBI system. At the end of 2016, the last year of the 44th president, background checks were over 27 million.
Anybody else notice what has come to a virtual halt since we no longer have a president or congress who want to impose gun control?
High profile mass shootings
So I guess this means everyone in the gun business will decide to support the Democrats. I mean, you know, money is all that matters...
Yes, mentioned that to my wife the other day. The killings stopped. Interesting...
You bet your buck that when the Hearing Protection Act is about to fly thru Congress, there WILL be a mass shooting involving silencers.
BLM marches too.
It’s been just a month.
And in bastions of Democratic governance, like Chicago, the death toll is still brisk.
Of course that’s mostly because the gang bangers and the drug trade run amuck. If every gang banger mysteriously died one day crime rates (especially violent crime) would plummet the very next.
Gun Sales Continue Retreat From Record Levels Seen Under Obama

February continued the recent trend of gun-related background checks falling from record levels since former President Obama left office and President Trump was inaugurated.
“Sales are still going to be at high levels due to threats to gun rights in states like California, Connecticut, and New Jersey,” he said. “In addition, as people watch violent riots on television by left wing demonstrators, there is a new reason to purchase firearms for self-protection.”
