Washington, DC --(AmmoLand.com)- Data released by the FBIs National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for the year reported 14,033,824 NICS Checks for the year of 2009, a 10 percent increase in gun purchases from the 12,709,023 reported in 2008.
So far that is roughly 14,000,000+ guns bought last year! The total is probably more as many NICS background checks cover the purchase of more than one gun at a time by individuals.
To put it in perspective that is more guns than the combined active armies of the top 21 countries in the world.

It was hard enough to get ammo last year, this year seems even worse. I placed an order for a 1/2 case of 45ACP with Cabelas in January and they still won’t even give me an estimated ship date. Cheaper Than Dirt won’t even take the order. I need brass FMJ. My range won’t allow the alternate stuff Wolf and others offer.

I am STILL waiting for primers so I can load some .45 & .380.

Put me on the 1911 bandwagon.
I love my Anerican made Springfield 1911-A1 Loaded. That is until it fell in the lake the other day. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge say no more!

All my guns were stolen last year, and I forgot to report it. I have no guns. End of story.
