The figures do not include sales through unlicensed dealers, which do not require background checks and are said to account for 40 percent of all gun sales in the United States.

Would love to see how they get these statistics. How can you count that which is not officially counted?

The Obama administration has create a boom-time, “golden era” for the gun industry -a real American manufacturing success story! This has been one of the only bright spots in the economy.

How was the general pricing? I’ve seen few vendors giving actual discounts this season.

Dear NY Times, it’s not the call to arms, it’s the call to de-arm, dipsh*ts. As someone mentioned on Twitter, that front page editorial was the greatest marketing blitz for Smith and Wesson ever

The New York Times front-page plea yesterday for gun confiscation is driving gun sales.

People are going to stock up and arm themselves. Americans are realizing the government is not here to protect us.

We have look after ourselves and this is the only way to preserve our lives and freedoms.

An armed society is also a polite society. We have nothing to fear from it and much to gain.

There is no doubt in my mind there will be a Constitutional Amendment repealing the Second and modifying the First Amendments before this century is over. Probably around 2050. If there is a constitution to amend in 2100.

Just the fact that Americans are afraid that the government is going to take their guns tells me that we no longer live in what was once our America. The Constitution and Bill or Rights prohibits the government from acting this way. Welcome to the communist police state.

Went to few stores last night, Cabella’s, Sports Authority and Bass Pro. The gun counters are usually busy this time of year but last night was insane. Longest lines I have ever seen for guns at these stores.

It may be anecdotal but I think it is actually representative.

When/if the American people have returned order and civility to the streets of our cities, the NY Times will not notice.

Today Beau and I are going out to lunch, shopping for ammo and getting in a little Range Time.

Life. Is. Good.

Granted, we do this on a regular basis whether there’s been a recent TERRORIST ATTACK or not. ;)

Me too, friend, me too. I’m a 65 y.o. grandmother who will soon be carrying concealed - just waiting on the whole navel-gazing background check delays. 13 calendar days, so far, because of the long holiday thrown into the mix. In the meantime, I’m at the range almost daily honing my skills with a compact. Whether it’s defending me or mine against terrorism or tyranny, I intend to be prepared.

After almost 40 years of marriage, my wife and I have started the process of obtaining a handgun for the first time.
