The reason the crime rate didn’t go up with all these extra guns is that they were bought by law abaiding citizens.

I did my part. I bought a K31 for my Christmas present to myself. No background check required on that.

So let assume each new gun owner buys 2000 rounds of Ammo (a single brick of 22lr is 500 rounds and my kids can burn that up in an afternoon) , times that by our conservative estimate of 10,800,000 firearms your get 21,600,000,000…that is trillion with a “T”.

Umm... Actually that is 21.6 Billion rounds.

I did my part x2 in 2011. Free multiple-magazine offers are hard to resist.

Sorry to state the bloody obvious, but That’s what keeps us free.

Of course, Obama and his National cadre of Socialists would like to change all that.

If nothing else, I think Obama should go down in history as the best Gun Salesman of all time.

Remember when he first went into office? I couldn’t find ammo anywhere for love or money.

We did too. I thought that number sounded high, but after I thought about it. Heck I bought two, and a don't even want to know what we spent in ammo this year.

If obama is reelected, expect federal agents and men in purple shirts to be searching your home and confiscating all guns and ammo in about mid-2014 or so. They will probably also rape all the women while they are at it.....just to show how macho and in-charge they are. Only white women, though.

Bring it. That will be the end of the federal agents and SEIU operatives. They try to confiscate, there are those of us who will kill and die on that particular hill. And they know it.

That is known as the “Planet of the Apes” gun. It looks like it could be in that movie. There actually is a newer model of that gun that is nowhere near as ugly . As for gun purchases , I bought 3 last year and sold 2 others . My New Years resolution is to buy more guns than last year.
