Golly gee! I wonder why?
Woman Brutally Assaulted By Teenage Mob In Possible Hate Crime
Just doing my part to stimulate the economy. Unfortunately, my insurance company refuses to cover my entire gun collection that was lost while ice fishing. Darn it!
And.....they did it without Government money!
—anyone who’d ever think to invade or enslave the free people of the United States—
Including domestic enemies, like Democrats.
The record for a single year was set just last year, when the FBI reported that 14,409,616 background checks were requested. In 2011 that figure will top 16 million. FBI spokesman Steve Fischer said just 1.3% of background checks result in denial of a weapon.

According to NICS Firearm background checks, every month in 2012 has beaten all time salesrecords and there are no signs of this stopping; especially as we approach the peak season of gunsales for the year.

“Guess which industry is thriving”
If it were an industry, I thought the answer would be: “government.” http://blog.heritage.org/2011/02/22/federal-workforce-continues-to-grow-under-obama-budget/
” ... the private sector workforce has shrunk by 6.6% while shedding more than 7.5 million jobs. Over that same time period, the federal government workforce (excluding Census and Postal workers) has grown by 11.7% while adding 230,000 jobs.”
Now, President Obama’s FY 2012 budget (my note: What budget?) proposes adding even more people to the federal payroll. Specifically, the President wants to create an additional 15,000 federal government jobs including 4,182 additional Internal Revenue Service employees 1,054 of which will be needed to implement Obamacare alone.”
“The problem with all these additional government jobs is that government spending does not create the economic growth needed to sustain private sector job growth.”
Using ONE company’s stats is utterly moronic, and really makes me suspect the rest of the article and his conclusions. S&W has numerous reasons for the volatility in their sales numbers, and few have much to do with any of the current political culture. They’re far more related to the massive sales hit S&W took several years back for being seen as cooperating with the anti-gun crowd. Time is slowly healing that wound, and thus their sales figures look like they’re rising at this crucial political time... and some moronic author is assuming that correlation equals causation.
