The FBI conducted more gun-related background checks this January than in any other January since the system was created.

With 2,545,802 checks processed through the National Instant Background Check System, January 2016 beat the previous record, set in January 2013, by 50,326 checks. Though January’s number represents a drop from the all-time single month record set in December 2015, it is also marks the ninth month in a row that has set a record. It is also the third month in a row with more than two million background checks.

Keep on buying!

I view each purchase as a middle finger to this administration.

It is definitely that, but maybe some are preparing for the coming Civil War. I don't know, but yes, shove that middle finger in Obungler's face.
I could have said they should shove it somewhere else, but I am trying to be nice.

Where SWHC has rocked is same profit margin as Ruger for a 3rd of the layout.

Obama has been almost universally destructive, but the increase in the number of guns in the hands of ordinary, patriotic Americans is the one positive from these eight terrible years. The glory of God is that He can make good come even out of evil.

I pray that we will restore freedom through the soap box, the ballot box, and the jury box. I pray that Thomas Jefferson was wrong about the need to refresh the Tree of Liberty from time to time, or at least that we are nowhere near needing that option.

real nice. It is short so it is loud. It is dead on at 21’. It is as good as my Thunder 380 and more powerful. Not as loud as my CZ 2075-Rami, but loud.

I have three Bersa pistols. Two 380’s a regular and a concealed carry model and this one.

I have never had a problem with any of them. Only had a failure to feed or failure to fire with crappy steel cased ammunition. Want to get a full size nine and their new BP striker fired pistol.
