It’s an Obama world…
A record number of guns were sold this Christmas in the United States.
The Telegraph reported:
According to the FBI, over 1.5 million background checks on customers were requested by gun dealers to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System in December. Nearly 500,000 of those were in the six days before Christmas.
It was the highest number ever in a single month, surpassing the previous record set in November.
On Dec 23 alone there were 102,222 background checks, making it the second busiest single day for buying guns in history.
The actual number of guns bought may have been even higher if individual customers took home more than one each.
Explanations for America’s surge in gun buying include that it is a response to the stalled economy with people fearing crime waves. Another theory is that buyers are rushing to gun shops because they believe tighter firearms laws will be introduced in the future.

Anybody with a half a brain knows if zero gets another term he will appoint 2 radicals to the supreme court and you will not be able to buy guns anymore….and try taking away the ones people already own….not gonna happen
sharky's machine commented:
Right…because in this political and economic climate,
Federal gun control is really a priority….
I mean, the payroll tax thing was easy. New gun laws should just
slide right through. Really…

Well, this political climate was good enough for Obama’s Fast and Furious scam to try and create an environment conducive to more gun control. That’s why the ATF attempted an illegal long gun registry.
sharky's machine commented:
#1 American…..well put.
No one with more than half a brain would actually believe
that a president could accomplish that by appointing 2 judges,
let alone even getting 2 such judges confirmed.
gee! commented:
More people who buy the harder its going to be for them………………to take away…………buy buy ……………..just sayin here.

Sharky is willfully a fvcking imbecile. It must suck being that stupid. So stupid that he ignores facts in order to further a fuktard agenda.
Let’s make it simple for Sharky the Fuktard.
A LIBERAL SUPREME COURT WILL IGNORE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS.
Is that to hard to understand SParky

Never underestimate the stupidity of the US Senate.
Dittogirl commented:
I think people are missing the fact that it will be done by EO or some other nefarious way. The people are saying no way, dont even effing think about trying it. But we know they will, anyway.
What they are not taking into consideration is that the American people are sick and tired of rules, regulations, and are fed up with being told what to do. There is a reason people are stocking up on guns and ammo. Its plain as day.
The people that follow GP know it, we dont even have to say it. I know I dont want to give the liberal raytards any clues as to what is up..keeping them stupid is too much fun.

Obama doesn’t want to wait ………….he wants to take your gun-rights away before the election…………Remember Fast and Furious…………..well according to Pajamas Media it has a kissing cousin in Indiana…………The Bureau of Alchol,Tobaco,Firearms and Explosives has acknowledged an Indiana dealer’s cooperation in conducting straw purchases at the direction of Bureau of Alcohol,Tobaco,Firearms and exclusive documents obtained by Gun Rights Examiner show the dealer cooperated with ATF by selling guns to straw-purchasers,and that bureau mangement later asserted these guns were traced to crimes…………people better wake- up to what Obama ‘s is doing……….

Resist by any and all means. The GOP is no better than the dhimmies. The 2nd Amendment isn’t there to defend against a foreign enemy its there against an over reaching and abusive government. Read the Preamble.
FurryGuy commented:
More like the mendacity of one political party in their brazen push to achieve their partisan agenda. Stupidity just helps round out the sheer fecklessness of the current Senate.
gee! commented:
#15 bing………….over the Christmas break congress gave this president the power to arrest and hold americans with-out due process…….this president is so radical and will do anything to hold on to power………….taking americans gun-away is the first-step to hold on to that power he will use this law against citizens in this country ……………hope i’m wrong………….we’ll just have to wait and see………just sayin
FurryGuy commented:
I find it strangely amusing that all this gun buying is being reported by a UK tabloid, not our vaunted main stream media.
Stuart commented:
This last saturday I went to a “big box” outdoors (hunting, horse, and sports) shop to return a Christmas sweater that did not fit me. The store was largely deserted except for one section. The firearms counter was packed three deep with patrons buying guns, ammo and other related gear such as scopes and laser sights. Damn those bitter clingers.
#1AMERICAN commented:
Sharky what a small little simple minded fuktard you really are….don’t you realize how crooked this admin is and they don’t follow the constitution now close the drapes in mommy’s basement it’s time for your afternoon nap
Patty commented:
Americans must be ready for anything. Be responsible but protect yourselves because one thing Government would be is there when you do need protection on the home front.
To many home invasions and many lives would be saved if they had a gun. This will scare intruders and besides it is a fun sport.
But get yourself very familiar with safety and storage of your weapon. See experts, first.

Was just out on the back deck listening to my rural neighbors test driving their Christmas presents.
Molon Labe commented:
Don’t forget to get lots of ammo with each gun. You should have at least 400 rounds per gun.
FurryGuy commented:
Barry hasn’t done what yet? What does news about Americans buying guns have to do with nonexistent SCOTUS vacancies or the number of SCOTUS justices?
Normally you are hard to understand you babble so unintelligibly. But this is totally incomprehensible even for you.
Real Answer: you’re just a certifiable loony.
If Ron Paul is the Cure, I’d prefer the Disease.

I see Descartes usual mindlessness has been deleted. I guess his minders finally realized he had escaped from the mental ward.
Resist with all and any means. Know how is taking away your freedoms. Know what they represent. And deal with them as the founding fathers did.
J Descartes commented:
As a graduate of the Hugo Black mail order law school and bakery let me asure all you neo-con warmongers that guns kill people, people don’t. That’s why I wrote my thesis explaining that pencils make mistakes, I didn’t get all those questions wrong on my law exams.
It is with immense pride that I Descartes, the mightest genius ever to grace the world announce my joining of Dewey, Soakem and Howe as a paralegal. We are located over the Chinese laundry at the corner of Bowery and Crook. Always available to make an expert opinion as I did for my friends Anthony Weiner and Barney Frank.
So if you want to sue your granny contact Descrates.
