Americans Reject Democrat Gun Control, Set Background Check Records

While Democrat presidential candidate after Democrat presidential candidate has pushed gun control, Americans have been filing into retailers to purchase firearms.

In fact, FBI figures for firearm purchase background checks–performed via the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)–show that October 2019 was the third consecutive month of record checks.

There were 2,366,824 checks NICS checks in August 2019, the highest number in any August since the adoption of background checks. Likewise, there were 2,207,312 in September 2019, setting a record for that month as well.

And October 2019 saw 2,393,609 background checks, for the third consecutive record month this year.

It is important to note that background checks numbers are not an exact indicator of the number of gun sales that occurred, and there are many reasons for this.

For one, a background check is done on the purchaser not the gun, and the purchaser could purchase multiple guns with each background check.

Secondly, some background checks are done for concealed carry licenses, etc., so they do not represent gun sales.

However, the recording setting rise in background checks does indicate that gun sales rose, and did so at a time when candidates like Robert “Beto” O’Rourke were saying, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15.” Which was the same time frame in which Joe Biden was pushing firearm registration, gun owner licensing, and lawsuits against gun manufacturers and Elizabeth Warren was pushing an excise tax to reduce firearm sales.

The Americans who >really< rejected gun control didn’t bother with the Deep State’s background check/gun owner registration scheme.

“American” and “democrat” can’t be used anywhere near each other in a sentence.

There are Americans...

... and then there are democrats.

Plastic bullets and caseless ammunition are already invented, but not commercially viable at this point. The toothpaste is out of the tube and isn't going back in!

Registered as in “on a Form 4473.” Not registered with a state or the local police.

But since it is pretty much optional anyway in free states, why would you have one listed on a piece of paper anywhere?

“If enough democrats are elected they’ll confiscate our guns and kill us and our children.”

Really? Who exactly will confiscate our guns and kill our children?

Try to be specific and not roll out some comicbook scenario of UN troops landing in Atlanta and recreating Sherman’s march to the sea.

Bill Ayers - the man who stated Obama's career in his Hyde Park dining room - a man whose adopted son just won office in San Francisco... wrote about the slaughter of Americans that was 'necessary'.

Ayer's estimated millions of Americans who would have to die. Maybe you think Antifa is a nonviolent group and that Bernies' not a commie, and that men like Bill Ayers have 'given up' and become law biding forever... But you would be wrong.

Totalitarians have killed millions of people in the name of communism in the last eighty years. They've shown us it CAN happen. Our country is not immune from the insanity that caused slaughters in the Old USSR, China, Cuba, North Korea or even Valenzuela...

Read Prairie Fire... dedicated to cop killers... and yeah, Bill Ayers was more than 'just a guy in the neighborhood'. And his ideas are NOT dead... their dormant. But those ideas are gaining strength here... listen to the democrats and you can hear it in their voices...

“ anybody unpredictable to defend himself is a damned fool.”

reminds me of a scene from the movie Unforgiven with Clint Eastwood.

Little Bill Daggett: You just shot an unarmed man.

Bill Munny: He should have armed himself if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend.

"Communists know what metal detectors are too. Just sayin’..."

Sales of metals used for ground chaff have probably also increased, and farms are peppered with worn out brass. Commies will soon be known for their tone deafness.

They'd have to invest in ground penetrating radar, which they won't.

I get the chaff part, but I wonder if scattering cheap magnets all over the place would more or less make metal detectors not even worth using?
