“When it comes to guns, we have just too many guns. On the streets, in our homes, in our neighborhoods.” – Hillary Clinton
April Capped A Record-Setting Year For Gun Purchases
While Hillary Clinton says that, if elected, she would start going after guns on Day One of her theoretical presidency, Americans appear to be doing their level best to make sure Clinton would have a whole lot of guns and gun owners to tackle. The FBI reports that every month for the past year has broken a record for firearm-related background checks in that month. That is, there were more checks in May 2015 than in any previous May, more in June 2015 than in any previous June, and so on from month to month, through April 2016.
During the 12-month period May 2015 through April 2016, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) conducted 25.6 million checks, almost all of which were for firearm acquisitions, firearm purchase permits, and firearm carrying permits which, in some states, exempt their holders from being subjected to an additional check when acquiring a gun.
There’s even an increase in the rate at which the checks are increasing. There were nearly 2.2 million more firearm-related checks conducted during all of 2015 than in 2014, but there have been nearly 2.5 million more checks during just the first four months of this year than during the same four months in 2015.
Wonder how many new gun owners are included in the sales and how many current owners just purchasing new guns.
Bravo Admin. It is about time real Americans start calling the Progressives what they are: the Domestic Enemy included in the oath of office. The people who support the Progressive (Marxist) agenda are not “our fellow Americans”, they are not simply misguided, foolish or ignorant friends and neighbors. They are the enemies of the American people and we had better get mentally prepared to deal with them as such, without mercy or pity, as they are slobbering at the mouth to deal with YOU. See the recent comments of a vile piece of shit named Mark Tushnet, of Harvard.
The term “Domestic Enemy” was included by the Founding Fathers for a very specific reason. They knew from the Classics that traitors within are far more dangerous than foreign enemies. At that time the traitors were the Tories (or Loyalists, if you will), “Americans”, but owing their loyalty to the Crown and not to our new country. They were the only enemy Washington really feared (and hated).
The current Domestic Enemy of the American people includes anybody supporting Hillary Clinton, Bernie or the Progressive blueprint to abolish the country we love. True, some are merely dupes, stupid or misguided. It is our job to bring them back to the fold. As for the witting enemies of our country, the Constitution prescribes a final solution for their errors.
Before too long we may be called upon take up arms against these people and deal with them in a harsh and unforgiving manner. Don´t let your hand tremble. Get ready now.
Good to have guns but the government will probably outlaw ammo.Then what ?.I got 308 ,5.56 ,7.39 and 9mm .About 6000 rds worth but that wouldn’t last long in a post American world.
WTF does “too many guns” mean? As if we don’t know what she really wants…
Let’s focus on who has the tanks, planes, bombs, artillery, etc. We would be dependent on the integrity of our military to not turn the heavy stuff on US citizens asserting their rights…
One could muse that a modern-day version of a militia might include the citizens in the National Guard with their training and access to all the ‘shock and awe’ stuff — just sayin’…
bb, I believe ammo would be somewhat available regardless of government edicts…
It is not the number of guns; who has them and for what use. Suggest Hillcunt look at urban welfare cities for a clue.
bb,
I spent two years in Vietnam (as a truck driver, not infantry) and probably shot at most a couple hundred rounds.
If you end up in a situation where you will need more than 6000 rounds of ammo, you will probably be dead well before you run out.
You can stockpile hundreds of thousands of rounds if you want, but the realistic amount you will need in a total breakdown is what you are able to carry with you (same for number of guns).
Your most important need is for food, not guns and ammo, take care of that first and don’t be worried about anything but immediate close range personal defense weapons till you do (i.e. handgun or shotgun to ward off a home invader looking to steal your stuff).
A bit old but has a good deal of worthwhile information in it:
I’m one of those who can walk into a store with a ccw and walk out with a gun in about 20 minutes. Unfortunately my state passed a law that requires all firearms transfers to be recorded. Technically, if I buy a gun now I better have that gun in my possession or have a police report stating it was stolen.
They will eventually get our guns by repeal of the 2A once all the little cherubs currently be indoctrinated into the “guns are bad” club start voting. When that happens I’ll deliver my guns…….ammo first because without guns I’ll have no more need for ammo right?
Definition of a democrat: Big Government, tax and spend, Gun grabbing Baby butcher.
They are merely projecting a power they do not possess. They do not have the manpower or even willing manpower to confiscate. Cloward and Piven will become the strategy of the good citizens, overwhelm the systems(too many loyalists suffering gunshot wounds) and that will collapse it by removing their support.
One thing to consider is communications will be shut off to the citizens but function for the goobermint. How will the good citizens equalize that? Destroy the cell towers so they can no longer communicate either? Perhaps a foreign power will destroy the US satellite communication/GPS while they have the opportunity.
Can the good citizens restrict goobermint travel as well? Will roads and bridges be fair game.
How can the goobermint maintain supply lines with 300MM weapons in the hands of the good citizens?
One other thing is, will another power roll in and engage in conflict once both sides are weakened? We have lots of natural resources here that are valuable.
It may just come to this…
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand. The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst; the cursed machine would have ground to a halt . . .”
– Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago
The point being is that self defense is a natural law, preserving your life is paramount. The 2nd Amendment is more than that, it is about thwarting tyranny. I hunt, but I value liberty, tyrants value acquiescence to their will. Molon Labe!
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. – Marcus Tullius Cicero, 106-43 BC
The 1st and the 2nd have always been and will always be, the bedrock of America.
“The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.”
Thomas Jefferson
I wonder who “they” are in the above quote. It’s worth considering.

Ever heard of a spark gap transmitter?

gun sales only thing keeping GDP above 0%
Botclan: your definition of a democrat describes most republicans. Big government? check. Bush and most members of congress, along with nearly all of the GOP presidential candidates. Our insane debt could not grow to its current size without bipartisan cooperation. Tax/spend. Well, as far as taxes, reagan, the patron saint of conservatives, raised taxes something like 11 times, despite his pledge not to raise taxes. The spending portion, as you probably arent aware, since most “conservatives” arent: he TRIPLED the national debt. And last, “gun grabbing”. Reagan passed the precursor to the “assualt weapons ban” while in office, and if memory serves correct, voiced support for the actual AWB in 1994 when it was first brought up.
So, what exactly is the difference? Republicans don’t typically support anything pro baby killing, which they are to be commended on. Thats pretty much it.
Gator- Yes, the names are for distraction only. I believe it was papa Bush that passed the AW import ban that is actually still in effect. Increasingly it appears that they are all jockeying for a seat a the globalist table. America has been used as a vehicle to transport them.
America and World Government are mutually exclusive. America must be brought down for World Government to be introduced. It cannot be done without the help of powerful insiders trading our birthright for maximum personal gain.
If one examines the actions of Bush, Clinton(s), Bush, Obama, and a great host of others, unifying threads of action to these ends begin to materialize.
I would throw Reagan in there too, but he took that shot from one of the Bush family operatives and I believe he ceased to be our President at that time.
That’s what I see from my limited time here, it probably started in earnest when they blew JFK’s brains all over his wife.
Gator: can’t disagree or argue the reality of your comment. Maybe the partial definition of what needs to be defined for the purpose of resistance to intrusive government. The vast majority of people in America today are indifferent or incapable of understanding the definition and drawing any conclusions, let alone the proper one.
Thanks Anarchyst! That Solzhenitsyn quote is my all time favorite. Just printed it up and posted it behind my desk.
@KaD
I read that. I’m not saying its right, but at least it’s a cop who they’re doing it to. Cops need to experience this also. Maybe…just maybe they’ll start to understand?
Most people keep their mouth shut about guns.
What guns?
I’ve never seen a “gun” before but I found one of these in my grand pappy’s basement. Does it count? Do you think it will still work? Where do I get ammo to try it out? Any advice?

FM, You appear to have a flintlock – obsolete technology. You might want to clean it up a bit and see what it will bring at a gun auction – and then go out and find something a bit more modern. Perhaps:

AWB….Average White Band ?
