Washington, DC --(AmmoLand.com)- Data released by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) reported 1,074,757 checks in August 2009, a 12.3 percent increase from the 956,872 reported in August 2008.
So far that is roughly 9,076,205 gun bought this year! The total is probably more as NICS background checks may cover the purchase of more than one gun at a time.

I also wonder if my Remington 7MM mag 3 shot bolt action can be expanded to accommodate a magazine of between 5 to 25 rounds?
You can.
Just picked up 500 rounds of 380 auto myself. Only took 6 months on backorder.
Strange that Obama hasn’t touted this as a sign that his stimulus plan is working.
That’s back when some people still believed in democrats. The public smartened up.
I have a Ruger LCP and they are in stock here:

I’m doing my best.
Three in six months.
You can make the purchase over the internet, but you need to have a local gun shop take delivery of the handgun and handle the paperwork (usually a $30 - $50 fee is involved); check around to see who’s willing to do that for you (some gun dealers won’t). You may have to fax a signed copy of the dealer’s FFL to the vendor before they’ll ship.
And not reported, but a huge percentage of sales were for Evil Black Rifles, short(er) barreled shotguns, and handguns in serious defensive calibers. While .22s for plinking, and sporting shotguns are always nice, people are concentrating on putting the POWER in firepower.
At my local hangout, they've noticed that things have slowed down from "insane" to "brisk". Except for ammo.
I would strongly suggest finding a private seller. You may pay more, but there is no paperwork.
Sorry for the bad link, it won’t let me link to the direct auction page but if you do a search on the gunbroker website you will find plenty to bid on
I wonder about pistols for self defense and concealed carry, wouldn’t it be best for them to be registered and formally purchased?
I just received a phone call from the NRA. An audio message from Wayne LaPierre informed the listener that the UN wants the US to abolish gun ownership by private individuals.
I am not surprised to hear this. I always knew that the UN is an organization whose goal is the domination and control of all nations under that silly baby-blue flag.
It goes without saying that the US is expected to become a “team player” and not try to assume a leadership role except when blood has to be spilled and money wasted in keeping this world half-assed safe.
My little brother attended a gun show in Florida this weekend and he said those were selling like hot cakes.
Don't know much about them, but I've seen them in the Midway Shooting Supplies catalog. As for a 25-round magazine for your Remington, I guess one could be fashioned sort of like the WWI-era Mauser "trench" magazines (useful only while standing in a trench; there's no way to flop down prone and shot with that sucker attached).
Prvi Partisan Plant blew up, will be 6months for production picks up again.Buy NOW!
That’s sweet. I gotta still get 2 more....... at least.
How do you come down on the comparison between the two 380s?
