FBI conducted 4.31 million background checks in the month of January, its highest on record since November 1998
They literally can’t build guns or make ammo fast enough.
Very true.
Hopefully a whole bunch of those new gun owners are Liberals, so they can help fight H.R. 127.
And they think that gun registration is going to work?
Doesn’t sound like people are preparing to pay fees, get psych exams, pay exorbitant taxes or otherwise surrender their arms.

Rifles in 6.5mm Creedmore is about all that has been available around my area. They must have been really cranking those out. I’ve been trying to get my hands on 30.06 for a gift in a few months but didn’t find what I want yet.
Not only did Obiden get more votes than Obama, he overtook him as the #1 gun salesman.
