Just got this a few months ago. Its a Palmetto State Armory AR-15 10.5 inch pistol with a Holosun red dot sight, a magnifier, a Fostech Echo II binary trigger and a 100 round drum. I call it the "Hogg". I'm sure Bloomberg is thrilled.

I find it quite strange that the Bill of Rights is so easily dismissed–by those who have NO idea as to its origins and purpose–It sure as hell WASN’T, given to us so we could hunt but rather so that our Government could not turn into a bunch of tyrants–more important now than it was then!
One thing is for sure Americans will never lose their guns, furthermore, the latest data shows numbers that will make liberals cry.
In the year of the impeachment trial more guns were bought than any other year in U.S. history.
The Washington Times reported that 28.3 million checks were run on the FBI’s National Instant Check System last year. That included over 2.9 million in December, the month House Democrats voted to impeach the president on a party-line vote.
According to FBI data on NICS checks, the previous record for a year was 27.5 million in 2016.
Did the Democrats’ push to impeach the president boost firearms sales?
Well, certainly is a huge factor but also other events are responsible for this surge in firearms sales.
The fact the U.S. House of Representatives was controlled by anti-Second Amendment Democrats, who passed a number of gun control measures.
Another is the fact that virtually every major Democratic candidate proposed sweeping new gun restrictions.
Gun-rights advocates and other extremists act like every attempt to create sane and logical regulations on guns is a fascist assault on their freedom. But a quick look at other nations shows this to be untrue.
Luckily our country is not doing the same mistake and we are not giving away our gun!
The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry trade association, released the 2017 Firearms Production Report to members. The report compiles the most up to date information based on data sourced from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ (ATF’s) Annual Firearms Manufacturing and Export Reports (AFMER).
The estimated total number of firearms in civilian possession from 1986-2018 is 422.9 million, according to data reported in the ATF’s Firearms Commerce Report in the United States 2019 report and including the preliminary 2018 Annual Firearms Manufacturing and Exportation Report (AFMER) figures.
17,740,000 Modern Sporting Rifles are in private ownership today.
More than half (54%) of all rifles produced in 2017 were modern sporting rifles.
In 2017, 7,901,218 total firearms were produced and imported. Of those, 4,411,923 were pistols and revolvers, 2,821,945 were rifles and 667,350 were shotguns.
An interim 2018 estimate showed a total 7,660,772 total firearms were produced and imported. Of those 4,277,971 were pistols and revolvers, 2,846,757 were rifles and 535,994 were shotguns.
Firearms-ammunition manufacturing accounted for nearly 12,000 employees producing over $4.1 billion in goods shipped in 2017. An estimated 8.1 billion rounds, of all calibers and gauges, were produced in 2018 for the U.S. market.
“These figures show the industry that America has a strong desire to continue to purchase firearms for lawful purposes,” said Joe Bartozzi, President of the National Shooting Sports Foundation. “The Modern Sporting Rifle continues to be the most popular centerfire rifle sold in America today and is clearly a commonly-owned firearm with more than 17 million in legal private ownership today. The continued popularity of handguns demonstrates a strong interest by Americans to protect themselves and their homes, and to participate in the recreational shooting sports.”
The report also shows that as lawful firearms ownership in America continues to grow, criminal and unintentional misuse of firearms is falling. During the 25-year period covered in this report (1993–2017) the violent crime rate has decreased by 48.6 percent and unintentional firearm-related fatalities have declined by 68 percent.
The above was a curated press release from the National Shooting Sports Foundation.
It’s typically noted that we have 3 branches of government; the legislative, the executive, and the judicial. However, there is a 4th branch of government, the American people. We, The People, represent the ultimate Check & Balance on those we elect, and allow, to govern us. And our power to decide whether or not we’re being governed fairly and justly resides in the 2nd Amendment. It bestows upon us the right and the power of self-determination. Without it, we are little more than powerless servants of the State.
Please share this article wherever you can. It is the only way we can work around their censorship and ensure people receive news about issues that Democrats and the mainstream media suppress.
I’ve been doing my part. I bought 14 last year. I’ve bought 4 so far this year.
Are you by chance a poor boater? Having to replace lost things often?
It was not a record year for firearm sales. Almost half of the NICS checks are for carry permits and permit rechecks.
It was a good year, but lower sales than 2016, I am sure.
I bought two of ‘em.
NICS knows nothing of many trades, mine included.
I’m clearly slacking. We didn’t buy any new guns last year.
I’d better up my game.

I’ve been concentrating on optics - thermal scopes.
No more guns for us.
Now it’s bullets, powder, and primers.
And practice. Lots and lots of practice.

For Christmas Santa brought me a Red-dot sight, a rear sight rail (to put it on) and new polymer furniture for my baby.
Those 28 million (or more!) new guns last year may be the only positive thing democrats have done for America in generations.
And in the last two months... (Nov. 2012 and Dec. 2012)
And it continues...
And there is more...
And more...
And yet more...
And more and more and...
We just keep buyin' more...
And we bought more more more...
And more and more and more...
Could it be? More?
More Americans buy more guns...
We just love guns...
Buy a gun, you'll be in Hogg Heaven!
Another month, another record!
Will the record breaking ever stop?
Looks like it will never stop.
KEEP FLAPPIN' YOUR LIPS, DEMONRATS! WE'LL BUY MILLIONS MORE. ;-)

Sorry, but it "is" a "fascist assault on our freedom". And the fascists are more open about it than ever.
