and then two years later during the same lingering recession:
Free Americans Buy 10,800,000+ Guns in 2011
Assuming another ~10M guns were purchased in 2010, that's over 30 million guns purchased by "bitterly clinging" Americans since Team Soetoro "occupied" the White House (pun intended).
Pretty obvious who the winners of R2/CW2 are going to be.
I am assuming this count does not include private sales.
