Gun salesman-in-chief: 52,600 a day under Obama, more seen under Hillary

Gun sales are on a pace to break last year's record of more than 23 million, a boon to the U.S. industry and gun stores thanks to election-year worries about gun control and recent terror attacks, according to government figures and experts.

Under Obama, background checks for guns reached 141.4 million through the end of May, amounting to sales of about 52,600 a day, according to the FBI. Last year, the FBI conducted more than 23 million background checks, which are generally used to figure sales of new and used weapons.

And yet these lying turds try to say the majority of Americans are for gun control . The democrats are all about control from the size of a soda you can buy to the re-writing Constitution to welfare .

I got two boxes at a local store here last month, for $1.99 a box. But two was all they would allow. That was the first ones in a long time.
Several of the mail order folks have them at a higher price, but sometimes you can get free shipping. For 9mm these days, the Perfecta Brand(made by Fiocchi in Italy) at WalMart is an excellent buy, $9.78.......I think only a reloader can beat that.
I can still remember the days when I could order a gun from a Sears catalog and have it sent directly to my home. And the days when CCI .22s were .59 cents a box and you could buy all the bricks of 500 that you wanted, for $5.90

I concur. I would suggest getting things that have a decent chance of getting banned or nerfed: AR 15 and pistols with high-cap, as well as extra mags for each. A decent reasonably priced "starter" AR would be the Smith & Wesson Sport. As for pistol, that really depends on how it feels to you when you shoot. For a reasonably priced, reliable, and tons of after-market add-ons it's hard to beat a Glock

The Glock has been my favorite since 1986. I talked the whole department into purchasing them in 1990. They have never had an issue.
Thing is, back then we got them for $330 with 3 mags. Prices have gone up considerably since.
If a guy keeps his eyes open, sometimes you can get a barely used one for a great price.

There you go again...labeling people.
I worked the streets for most of my career and that has been my repeated observation.
So you would want me to lie about that, so you feel better?

And we need only to look to Chigaco or Detroit to see it daily. You go to a town or city with few to no Blacks, and run by Republicans, you just don't see this crap.

How is being bigoted against all Trump supporters any different than being racist?

It's not, anymore than being bigoted against gun owners. liberals love to talk about tolerance....except...for what they hate because it doesn't fit their Utopia.

I snagged a bucket of 1400 a couple of weeks ago for $110 and counted myself lucky. Gone are the days of the $10 bricks. :(

Fiocchi is one of my favorite brands: quality ammo at a good price. PMC is another one.

You can pick up most Glocks under 600, many not much over 500. Less than doubling in price over 30 years is pretty decent, on par with inflation (doubling would be 2.3% inflation per year). So, prices are still pretty reasonable relatively speaking.

That's true. But Taurus is price dropping like crazy.

Palmetto State Armory had the Millennium and the 709 Slim, both for $198.00. Good enough for the occasional shooter or just for defensive carry pistols that may never get used or used little.
I don't think they would hold up to the Glock in competition or police service....but who knows....the reviews on them are really good.

More and More people are talking up PSA. One of my favorite gun shops has made PSA its main line of "guns that cause liberals bowel distress". I bought a PSA in 9mm that takes the GLOCK mags 300 rounds of the cheap BROWN BEAR Russian stuff and no jams. Better than the three Rock River or Stag ARs that take the Colt SMG mags or the very similar modified UZI mags

I probably will get a couple more PSA AR 15s. I also got a SPIKEs Tactical lower that I put a FAXON (local company in Cincinnati) upper on. less than 900 and I have a top of the line very light carbine. fit it with a C-More RMR 3 MOA dot and a GRIFFIN side mount iron sights
