Obola is shy about what a good firearms salesman he is.

It is almost certain that 2015 will be the highest year on record for private gun sales in the United States. But when national polls ask how many households own guns, the numbers appear to be the same or dropping. How do we reconcile this seeming contradiction?

Well, in my case it is because I lost all of my guns in a tragic boating accident, then went out and replaced them all, only to lose them again in another boating accident. Must have happened to me four or five times now in the past few years.

I really need to be more careful out on the water.

If a pollster called me or anyone in my family we would say none of your business or lie.

Some people do not deserve the truth.

Quite a few years ago a doctor asked my wife if we had guns in the house, she lied and said no. It was none of the doctors business, he doesn’t deserve the truth and is unworthy of that information.

Glad somebody figured it out. "'Allo, I am from an independent polling agency. What kind of guns to you own, where are they, and what are their serial numbers? I promise you this information will be kept strictly confidential. You can trust us."

Sure, pal. Sure.

Really, who cares. Citizens just keep on buying, and especially after all the boating accidents.

So NCIS checks are up from 2008 almost 70% under Obama.

The manufacture, sales and caching of guns and ammo have been his best job creation programs by far.

At least for us infidels.

Have to figure what I am going to sell next year.

Why Record Guns Sales are Not Showing in National Gun Ownership Polls

Because with the current regime trying to grab them, a lot remain "undocumented" - don't call them illegal!

There are between 100 and 160 million individual gun owners in the United States. Doubt it. There are only 120 million Men over the age of 18 in the United States.

I don’t believe that 35% of polled gun owners are lying on polls in a way that can’t be filtered out by the poll design. I am generally skeptical of all analysis that requires us to believe that polls have massive error built into them. The more likely explanation for why NICS checks don’t match up with GSS data on household gun ownership is that gun owning household are buying more and more guns.

I have lived in the mostly Black southside of Atlanta for 2.5 years now. As when I was in IL, I try to be observant of behavior that reflects political leanings.

So I watch for instances of open carry and concealed carry. I noticed a few bulges under shirts of both Black, White and Hispanics that I figured were concealed carry.

About the time that Bloombergs extremists attacked Kroger, I seemed to notice a significant increase in both concealed and open carry. Now, when I go into Kroger, Walmart or other store with many customers, I see at leas one concealed carry bulge for every 30 or 40 customers. And I see open carry in about 1 in 90 or 100 customers. The concealed carry are of all races, ages, and looks (long hair, short hair, beard, no beard, etc).

The open carry all seem to be in the late 20s/early 30s and military short hair cut... But they are in civies. They are shopping and given he way they relate to the uniform security guards, I doubt they are cops.
