NICS checks are very high, but much of the increase is in checks for permits and permit rechecks.

Business is still very good.

NCIS is +1 more as of an hour ago!
Picked up an AR pattern .300 BLK; rifles can now be used to take deer where I hunt in 2019. The .300 BLK will be an ideal deer rifle for that area.

I had leftist nutjobs asking me about weapons late 2016. This trend is not something to celebrate. Something is up. More Soros regime change?

What is a 300 BLK?.30 caliber round derived from the 5.56 (.223 caliber) NATO round.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.300_AAC_Blackout
In a nutshell, they shortened a 5.56 NATO shell casing, and increased the neck size to accommodate a .30 caliber bullet.

OK, I looked up the .300 BLK and they aren’t legal for deer hunting in MI southern zone. I’ll have to stick with the Ruger 77/44 mag.

Sales are still 3-1 in our favor by my estimation.

The .300 BLK isn’t legal for deer in Michigan’s southern zone, but .450 Bushmaster is. Go figger.

I am entirely satisfied with the check system. No problems at all when I bought my latest “friend.” No libs in sight either.

I hope that is good news, but their sudden interest struck me as odd and I wouldnt help train them. So if its 3 to 1.. how many of our 3 were already gun owners, compared to the left who are first time buyers.
I hope you and I are just paranoid , but somehow, I dont think so... historically speaking.

Most of the ones on our side are adding to the collection, the leftys are starting out with one.
Most of them don’t know the first thing about guns.
They buy the cheap stuff.

Try the 6.8 SPC II. It's what an AR should have been instead of 5.56.
I love the one I got recently. Of course it is not as cheap to shoot so I naturally had to get a 556/223 to plink with.

To: marktwain
The DemoRats have been pushing for gun control for decades.
This is how it has been working out for them.
And in the last two months... (Nov. 2012 and Dec. 2012)
And it continues...
And there is more...
And more...
And yet more...
And more and more and...
We just keep buyin' more...
And we bought more more more...
And more and more and more...
Could it be? More?
More Americans buy more guns...
We just love guns...
Buy a gun, you'll be in Hogg Heaven!
- 'Yuge' March for estimated gun sales April 3, 2018
Applications submitted to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System exceeded 2.7 million last month
the busiest March on record and the third highest ranking month since the FBI began keeping track in 1998.
Another month, another record!
- April Sets Gun Sales Record May 7, 2018
The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) ran 2,233,213 checks in April, according to an FBI document.
That's nearly 90,000 more checks than the previous April record set in 2016.
It also represents the second month in a row to set a record with March seeing 2,767,699 checks.
Will the record breaking ever stop?
KEEP FLAPPIN' YOUR LIPS, DEMOCRATS! WE'LL BUY MILLIONS MORE. ;-)

"Sales are still 3-1 in our favor by my estimation."
Yes. Many of the lefties are on drugs and/or have criminal histories. That's why so many of them focus more on knives or liability dogs.

“Try the 6.8 SPC II”
That wouldn’t be legal in the southern MI shotgun zone. Only straight walled pistol cartridges 35 cal or larger.
“The ammunition for the rifles must have a minimum case length of 1.16 and a maximum case length of 1.80 inches.
Examples of firearms now legal for the southern part of the state include, but are not limited to, a .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .45 Colt, .450 Bushmaster, and .460 S&W.
“People have been asking for this for years and the change in rules allows people to have and use one gun,” Westra said. “They don’t have to have one gun for down here and another for up north.
“It made sense to make it easier for the hunters.”
Westra said the rifle allowance opens up hunting to a wider group of southern Michigan outdoor enthusiasts. Hunting backers have long said the power of a shotgun’s recoil limited the ability of some youth, women and senior citizens to enjoy the recreational activity. “

I hunt in Hanover county, VA. Just went legal for 2018 season, but I was not able to hunt last year.
