There were 2,333,539 gun-related checks processed through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, known as NICS, last month, according to FBI documents posted on Monday. That represents an increase of more than 350,000 checks over the previous October, itself a record. It’s also the 18th month in a row to set a record.

With two months to go, 2016 has already seen 22,206,233 NICS checks, making it the second highest year for checks in the history of NICS with only 2015 seeing more.

I may have purchased an FNX-45 last week...

Maybe.

I'm not at liberty to say for sure...

I just described this article to my step-daughter who’s getting ready for work. She asked me, “So, what if Hillary gets elected and she makes the gun laws worse? Will she be able to take them away?”

I told her, “They won’t have to. All Hillary would have to do is make a few phone calls. One to the bank to tell them, ‘Freeze their accounts,’ and another to the schools to say, ‘Keep their kids.’ Hillary doesn’t have the manpower to send law enforcement or military to do it -we outnumber them over ten-to-one. PLUS, they wouldn’t follow those orders.”

Another month and another 2 million plus guns in the hands of everyday Americans which is the equivalent of a large national army. Just how are you planning to disarm us leftists?

People know that Obama has been promoting anarchy, releasing felons back into the public, and importing foreigners from the Middle East.

To keep the chaos growing; all according to plan.

I put together two AR15s in October. Just because.

Oh, and I have four different handguns on layaway at various gun shops. I collect handguns, so that isn't unusual for me.

:)

Not that you ever can have all the guns you want, but right now I am buying ammo.

Dang coyotes are after my chickens again.

If you've ever wanted a gun, or lack a lifetime supply of ammunition, you have every good reason to go shopping before November 8th.

If Trump wins, the Left will feel it has a license to go on a rampage, or at least many people will think so, and the demand for guns and ammunition will skyrocket, leaving supply far behind. In other words, you won't be able to easily buy either.

If Hillary wins, well, the consequences for those wishing to purchase guns or ammunition is obvious. Once again, you won't be able easily to buy either.

Someone reported 142,500,000 gun purchases last year but they were reporting background checks.

Freeze their accounts might work but "keep their kids"?

People like money but touch their offspring and they go nuts.

That would start a civil war. And it would be a very short one.

That simple, huh? Based on a Form 4473 with someone’s name & soash on it? Really?
