March Sees Record Gun Sales (eleven straight record-setting months)
freebeacon.com ^

Posted on 04/04/2016 2:29:57 PM PDT by Red in Blue PA

Gun sales broke records yet again in the month of March.

The FBI performed 2,523,265 firearms-related background checks between March 1 and March 31, according to the agency’s records. That’s a new record for the month. It’s nearly 35,000 more checks than the previous record set in March 2014.

Despite the new record, March saw the fewest checks of any month so far in 2016.

The March record is the eleventh straight monthly record for background checks. The unprecedented streak, which began in May 2015, has included all-time records for both monthly and yearly sales. With 7,682,141 checks processed through the FBI’s National Instant Background Check System, 2016 is currently on pace to set another all time yearly sales record.

Clearly, the spike in gun sales is immediately attributable to the increase in carbon emissions, the rise in sea level, and the ongoing global climate crisis.

Any gun people out there gonna let me move near them and show me how to shoot if this country ever comes to a boil?

I’d have to drive out of NYC/USSR quickly though before bridges shut down.

Shot an M4 once and was one of the best experiences of my life.

People believe what I have been posting for about a year. That Obama will begin a “scortched earth” policy around 6 months before he leaves office.

I disagree. I assert that Obama’s scorched earth policy started on January 20, 2009. The problem is that the GOPee gave him everything he wanted.

The same people who tell us it’s impossible to deport 12-15 million illegal immigrants say they can round up 150 million guns.

No Longer Tin Foil! several neutron bombs over the US will leave America without electrical power and leaving the infrastructure unscathed. In sight of a couple of weeks following the blasts Americans will be turning their millions of weapons on each other to defend themselves and to kill for food and water. The US military once had an arsenal of Neutron weapons until President GH Bush ordered them ALL destroyed. Why would he do that??

We don’t have to deport anyone. Nor should we. All we need to do is to enforce our current laws and the illegals will leave on their own once they can’t get welfare, can’t get free education, can’t get free healthcare, can’t get jobs, and can’t vote.

Guns are like potato chips. You can not eat the first one, but after the first, you need another and another.

My wife had kind of shamed me about buying guns and I had been really good for a number of years. Then we bought one for her then one for me then another for her and......

It’s an ill wind that blows no good - and obama sells more firearms than were used in World War II.

“Did you just buy another gun?”

“No, darling, I’ve owned this one for ten years. It was in the back of the safe. I guess you’ve never seen it before.”

Full disclosure: my wife is a Camp Perry champion with the M1911A1. Loves the Ruger LCP I gave her.

And I love my M1A, my Garand, my AK, my SKS, etc.......

;^)
