It’s Father’s Day… Now Go Buy a Gun
Town Hall ^ | Jun 15, 2014 | Michael Schaus

Seriously… You can annoy a liberal, and save money at the same time. It’s like some sort of a magical set of circumstances that were created especially for gun enthusiasts on a budget. Gun stores currently have an overstock of merchandise, as sales decline from last year’s record breaking numbers. To consumers this means sales and discounted merchandise, to the industry it means a slightly less profitable year than last year, and to liberals it means an opportunity to weave an anti-gun narrative.

Brace yourself for a slew of stories about gun sales declining this year. A recent headline on Market Watch pretty much summed up the emerging trend among some pundits: Paranoia has its limits as gun sales slump. In other words: All those crazy, militant tea-partiers have finally stopped buying guns, and now businesses are coping with sales returning to normal.

Gun sales are in a decline from last year’s numbers… But, what did you expect? This isn’t a story about the declining interest in firearm ownership, it’s a story about free-market economics (which probably explains why Liberals don’t understand it). Obama, the Democrats in the Senate, and a billionaire-former-mayor of New York City, have all proven to be the best accidental-gun-salesmen in history… And that’s pretty unlikely to change.

“Is an XD, from Springfield Arms a
Good deal?...or a Henry Rifle?”

Yes, both, for starters.

A positive attribute of the ammo shortage is seeing what does NOT sell, i.e. like what’s always left in the cabinet at wally world.

Should go buy something that takes what nobody is buying around here. Seems like unfamiliar numbers to me though. (i.e. 7mm?)

No more .22 or 9mm. Been checking since 09.

Dear jor-ja goil,
A revolver has a larger caliber than your 1960’s
McNamara bought squirrel gun.

You forget that placement is king.

You should remember that many a perp was
downed with revolvers.

However, with your comment about ‘being easy to find’
Means to me, you are already purposed to blindly
kill American service members, in order to obtain
your ammo.

Therefore, as a military veteran, I refuse to continue
this discussion.
Good night.
