I went to the article

“Over the same time period, the number of background checks completed under President George W. Bush was 36,090,415, or about half the number conducted under Obama.”

figure 3 or 4 boxes of ammo for the new guns and it is easy to see why there is an ammo shortage.

and, according to obama, that's only 60% of the total gun purchases. The other 40% take place without a background check

how the hell did this guy get elected...again ?

Take a hint Obozo! Yet tomorrow there will be the usual AP, Gannett, LA/NY Times, your homeowner paper—”We think ...”—pointing out, “Recent polls show the American people support sensible ______________. (Gun control, immigration reform, Obamacare, glowbull warming, ad nauseum.)

Are there gun purchases, other than private person to person transactions, that do not presently involve background checks?

And lest we forget - most states, concealed carry holders don’t have to undergo the BATF check....

The Amerikans weren’t under assault when Dick Cheney was around.

This administration views civilian Amerika as enemies of the state.

hmm.... were 70 million guns sold, or were 70 million background checks run on individuals under the guise of gun ‘purchases’?

Massive, systematic, grass roots election fraud. I didn't say "vote fraud." I said "election fraud."

Plus, Some states do one check for many purchases at the same time. Last year I went to an auction, bought 13 guns only one check. No check on blackpowder guns.
