Sellers said they expect sales to continue to increase this year because of crime and it being an election year. Uncertainty over a new president and his policies can drive consumers to stock up on guns and ammunition. Sales generally increased in 2008 and 2009, after the election of President Obama.

I’ve settled on the firearms I like so it’s just getting ammo for them on a continual basis. Shop for groceries, pick up a box or two (Walmart) - this is when I’m home. In Australia both are very controlled.

Gun sales increase in 2012

Probably due to Freepers replacing all those guns they keep
losing in boating accidents.

Guns, ammunition and good guitars are about the best investments you can make right now. Sorry if I offended the gold guys. Gold is nice too.

I don't know why they had to repeat themselves.

“In the gun business, fear drives sales.”

No. In the gun business, FREEDOM drives sales.

This is probably because of all the folks that bought guns back in ’08 and later sold them privately and now need to buy some more.

That data the Feds have from the 4473’s is going to be useless for them.

My husband did his part and got a new handgun last weekend. Plus he’s going to get my elderly dad’s M1 carbine tonight.

A friends father-in-law went to the gun show in Upper Marlboro MD over the weekend, he said herre was a long lie to get in and once inside it was just a long line moving thru the show. When he left there was still a very long line to get in.

More people are becoming aware of the possibility of “civil unrest” if Obama loses.
