Gun shop representatives said that they are seeing more purchases of semiautomatic weapons such as handguns and AR-15s in spite of the public criticism against those guns by 2020 Democratic presidential candidates. And they are thanking those political opponents for the boost in sales.

A big thank you to Obama, Hillary, Beto and all you other Democrat gun-grabbers!

[[Americans own 423M guns]]

You know the reason why foreign governments don’t invade our country? Because Americans own 423M guns

Mission accomplished-

If this is accurate, clearly there are a lot of people who need to seriously step up their game on their ammo stash. That’s only about 20 rounds per weapon.

...FITA’s report stated there are 422.9 million firearms in civilian possession from 1986 to 2018, along with an estimated 8.1 billion rounds of various firearms calibers and gauges.

That is not what the report says. The report says: "An estimated 8.7 billion rounds, of all calibers and gauges, were produced in 2018 for the U.S. market."

Think about it, if let's say 150 million firearm owners collectively owned 8.1 billion rounds, that would only be 54 rounds per owner.

well, there goes all the communist-nazi style “confiscation” talk

(half a billion and many more when we include all the off-record pieces.....all capable of defending against any attempted confiscation... after all, its not like the commie/nazis want to try stealing people’s kitchen toasters, ha!!)

or as our neighbor says, “Make My Day, just TRY it!”

How long would it take them to confiscate them all, if they were to start Feb 1, 2021? (allowing for cleanup of the cold, dead hands still attached to bodies).

I found this interesting information regarding WW II:

“Lt. Gen. Levin H. Campbell, Jr., Chief of Ordnance from 1942 to 1946, proudly had this to say:

From Pearl Harbor to V-J Day the Industry-Ordnance team furnished to the Army and 43 foreign nations 47 billion rounds of small arms ammunition, approximately 11 million tons of artillery ammunition, more than 12 million rifles and carbines, approximately 750,000 artillery pieces and 3/2 million military vehicles”.

Rates of firearm ownership and gun sales are on the rise despite calls for gun control,

"Because of" you twit.

People with two brain cells know that no one who wants you disarmed ever has benign intentions.

So when you call to take away their weapons they start to stock up.

You would think this would be obvious.

Like a home improvement, car restoration project etc, multiply by 2.5 like you do for true time or cost. 423 x 2.5 & add the zeros, ya that’s probably about right.....
