How about because of puke leftie reporters like John Diedrich?
Increased production and sales beyond the capacity of the ATF to inspect, regulate, etc. is a good thing in my mind.
However, I think the strong increases in production have taken their toll on what used to be finely crafted, high quality functioning weapons from some manufacturers.
I’ve noticed things that shouldn’t have left shops like Smith & Wesson on more than one revolver (bad turn rings, missing parts), and from Colt on their semi-autos(no tension extractors, roughed up slide surfaces).
All of this on guns that were ranging from $800+ to over $1000. It’s made me now do more than a quick check on the weapon when actually buying it.
There has been a perception that this administration wants to take guns away, and I don't think that has been true," Pierce said. "All they see is President Barack Obama as someone who wants to take your guns away, no matter what he says."
Well, Duuuhhh! It IS CLEAR that Obama does not believe in private gun ownership. There is proof he said that. But the Complicit Lying Press refuses to admit fact. Forget anything he says, He LIES! Watch his actions, they scream his intent.
A Pastor in Maine did a sermon on how nothing will change till the powers in govt fear their ultimate meeting with Christ more than they love money, power, and sex with little 7 to 11 year old boys and girls.
Yet with all these guns being bought, no govt powers fear anything.
Would seem to me that the billions being spent causing ammo prices to spike and making gun manufactures enough money so that they too become elites, could be better used.
Every time I’m in a gun shop or a gun counter in a big store, I see first time buyers, a good portion of them women of all ages.
These are not “gun nuts” hoarding out of fear of the government. These are people who fear for their safety with the rise of violent crime in previously safe neighborhoods.
It’s ‘ cause guns are like crack, I tell ya.
You get one just to see what it’s like, and it’s so pretty and so much fun that you gotta get another. And then another.
Pretty soon, you got a whole safe full of ‘em.
I’m surprised the FDA doesn’t regulate them like e-cigs or cigars!
Well if anything, the American people are sending a message to uncle sugar....loud and clear, “in this new federal report”. lol
Love’n it. Freedom loving folks are not just going to sit back and allow freedom to disappear. At least those of us that grew up in an age when America was still somewhat free. This new generation for the most part have been brain warshed into handing over their liberty. Not knowing at all what they've done.
It's kinda like that ol bird dog gettin in the chicken pen and tasting blood for the first time...he will always yearn for that second taste. Folks will fight like rabid coyotes.
I've tasted freedom, it is on my lips! I yearn for the day when folks can live free in this country once again.
Kinda weird how the ammo shelves are still empty. I mean, the demand is there and has been for years. Why can’t I walk in and buy 22 longs?
Pierce noted a Pew Center survey from last year showing that nearly half the gun owners said they had a firearm for personal protection, up from 26% in 1999. Pierce noted this trend comes as crime generally fell during that period.
Duh. Prof Pierce, isn't it just possible that crime has dropped significantly since 1999 precisely because so many more people are buying and using guns for personal protection, which is one of the two main purposes of the Second Amendment???
Obama lied about Health Care to get it passed and he'll lie to take our guns away. Obama thinks the ends justify the means. A person stupid enough to take Obama at his word is either a fool or a journalist - hence the above quote...
