Infographic On The Greatest Gun Salesman In America: President Obama
American firearm sales and concealed handgun permit applications are at all-time highs since the 2008 election of President Barack Obama. President Obama's perceived hostility towards gun owners has been one of the key factors behind the multi-year financial boom the firearms industry continues to enjoy. In fact, the National Rifle Association (NRA) is actively preparing to work to defeat President Obama's 2012 re-election campaign, according to Wayne LaPierre, the CEO of the NRA, who recently said the following at the 2012 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C.:
"Lip service to gun owners is just part of a massive Obama conspiracy to deceive voters and hide his true intentions to destroy the Second Amendment during his second term. We see the president's strategy crystal clear: Get re-elected and, with no more elections to worry about, get busy dismantling and destroying our firearms' freedom, erase the Second Amendment from the Bill of Rights and excise it from the U.S. Constitution...When the sun goes down on election day Barack Obama will have America’s gun owners to thank for his defeat.” -
Wayne LaPierre, CEO of the NRA, February 10th, 2012
Ironically, the perceived hostility towards gun owners by President Obama has actually helped the firearms industry tremendously. Since the 2008 election, more Americans than ever before are purchasing firearms & ammunition. This has meant massive increases in sales by firearm & ammunition makers, billions more in federal and state tax collections related to guns & ammo, increased membership in the NRA, and hundreds of thousands of new Americans carrying concealed handguns. Therefore, should the firearms industry support President Obama for a second term or not?

As for why this may be the case, perhaps it has something to do with the death of the legal system under the current president, very much like Greece, and Robogate killed contract law.

Are ever more Americans simply preparing to take "the law" into their own hands?

I am proud to call myself the owner of a Glock 30, M1911, Mosin, and M1 Garand.
Thanks for "self identifying". Wish I had the funds to replace everything I lost in those canoe/hunting trips.
yes, I will never load all of my gold/silver/ammunition/guns all on the same end of the canoe again - that shit is heavy.
Baracknophobia.

damn there are some arsenals sitting at the bottom of lakes along with a lot of bullion
Bays and estuaries, too. Penobscot Bay alone has an amazing number of firearms and PMs resting among the lobster traps.
get the nitrox!
I'll believe all this bottom of the lake malarkey when I see a chart just like this gun statistic, except for Mini-Subs!
One orf these days I am getting that Sig Sauer.

That word is too fancy for me. I just call him what he is: A prick!
I firmly believe his intentions are to ruin America.
Careful now it's not politically correct to say ruin. The correct term is "fundamentally tranform."
Actually I suffer from realisticophobia; an abnormal grasp on reality, its a cross I bear..
You on the other hand suffer from hoplophobia, makes sense as I assume your from Moscow on the lake; Madison WI, cheesy turd..
Admit it. The only abnormal grasp you suffer from is the one your mouth has on Barack's penis.
Ooo, too much realistico for me.. ha, I let the honorable Reggie Love handle those duties, I am in charge of Moochelles makeup, those trowels are heavy..
Your comment down thread about fast and furious and this comment, which made me smile, forces my hand. I will give you a greenie and send a blessing your way. God bless and good evening.
Calm and Chessy?
seriously?
you 2?
I mean its fight club and all.. but not you two?
A simple misunderstanding, I believe. My reference to baracknophobia was intended to make a comparison to the movie where a bunch of venemous, deadly insects invades the U.S. I believe Calm saw it as a defense of Barack, ie an irrational fear of him. Nothing could be further from the truth. A small scuffle ensued, but no harm done. At least on my end.
I do enjoy this place..
All we need to know is that this government took "linebacker" a Bush era program to track guns into Mexico and transformed it into Fast and furious where straw buyers were implictly encouraged to purchase guns here and bring them to Mexico and arm the cartels. MOST IMPORTANTLY, the individual honorable street agents were forbidden by their superiors from tracking these guns. One of these guns was found at the mujrder site of federal Agent Brian Terry (whose family filed suit for 25M) and these street agents blew the whistle on their higher ups at risk or their lives, freedom and careers. These agents are still paying the price for their bravery.
Memo's released as a result of the Darrell Issa investigation and exemplary work done by Mike Vanderbough and David Codrea of respectively Sipsey street irregulars blog and Examiner.com show this entoire operation as a plate setting exercise for the final course of restricting the 2nd amendment.
All of you, do the research, hell log onto sipsey street Mike has done all of it already..
Ha, I really like this place. No harm, no foul CB

"I do enjoy this place.."
As do I.
A little something on some cat named El Jaguar ;-)
"Torres Marrufo, also known as "the Jaguar," has been identified by U.S. authorities as the enforcer for Sinaloa cartel chieftain Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman. The Fast and Furious weapons were found at one of Torres Marrufo's homes April 30 when Mexican police inspected the property. It was unoccupied but "showed signs of recent activity," they said.
The basement had been converted into a gym with a wall covered with built-in mirrors. Behind the mirrors they found a hidden room with the Fast and Furious weapons and dozens more, including an antiaircraft machine gun, a sniper rifle and a grenade launcher.
"We have seized the most important cache of weapons in the history of Ciudad Juarez," Chihuahua state Gov. Cesar Duarte said at the time, though he did not know that many of the weapons came from the U.S. and Fast and Furious.
Torres Marrufo has been indicted in El Paso, but authorities have been unable to locate and arrest him."
http://articles.latimes.com/2011/oct/08/nation/la-na-atf-guns-20111009
The Sinaloa cartel, buying guns from Mom & Pop gun stores along the Mexican border is, I believe what we were told at the time what the problem was.
It wasn't, as I said at that time...Mom & Pop gun stores along the Mexican border don't sell grenade launchers and anti aircraft guns.
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
You are going to get us in real trouble for telling the truth!
You know the Rules!
We can say whatever we want as long as it is a lie!
If you start telling the truth they will come after us!
I think that would make a great bumper sticker.
Cash for Carbines?
He eventually wants us to use them on each other.
It is sad to see that we may have to potentially shoot at another human being because they're mind is posioned.
The mind is warped due to heavy conditioning among other things.
Hard to read to him when every other word that comes out of his mouth is a lie.
But I don't think so.
What he really wanted (IMHO) was for Fast & Furious to work out, to where public opinion might be shifted against gun possession/ownership and people would voluntarily disarm or make the process so onerous many would take their chances dialing 911.
Of course, now they are trapped in that whole mountain of bullshit (F&F) of their own making so public opinion will stay right where it is.
That is, no trust in anything they say.
So I guess it will be "the hard way".
Damn straight - everyone dies, but not everyone gets to influence the manner. I shit you not, while I am typing this my music queue served up "The Hard Way" by Point Blank. Southern rock at its finest.
You Lie! He is has followed thru on Everything he told Wall Street he would do (behind closed doors)! Obama has put No! One!! Not! ONE!! (1)!!! Fucking Scumbag Behind Bars! Lets review the Facts! The Sourced and Sited Facts!! Shall We? for the Stiupid Fucks who still dont get it that are reading this!You know its funny how many people have learned this the hard way. I lost about a dozen weapons like that. Who'd a thunk it?
Im planning on a sound suppressor or two this year so I dont disturb the neighbors while getting rid of varmints in my garden, hopefully when I take them in the canoe they arent lost the same way.
I am not a cocksucker attorney, but as far as I know there is nothing to prevent you from selling your firearms to strangers at a yard sale. Although you need not keep a record of these sales, you may want to keep a copy of the yardsale advertisment from your local newspaper that clearly says, "Gold coins, guns, books, etc."
Down here in Texas all you have to ask is "are you a US citizen?"
I can't find any law that burdens a private citizen with that requirment.
GFKjunior
Down here in Texas all you have to ask is "are you a US citizen?"
DUDE your either a liar, or a TROLL, or BOTH.
That's a lie, and you know it,IF your even from Texas.
Stikethrough fixed?
Edit - guess not
California-based ZH-ers should ignore this advice. Unless the seller has a valid COE (Certificate of Eligibility), and the buyer provides all the personal information required by the DROS (Dealer Record of Sale), the transfer is illegal. Tranfers from private party to private party (e.g. your yard sale example) require that a licensed dealer act as itermediary. He or she will fill out all the forms for the buyer and seller, as well as hold the gun for the required ten day waiting period. Only then does the buyer get his gun. Unless it's a handgun, in which case the buyer must also pass the test for the Handgun Safety Certificate first.
I think the buyer has to do some more paperwork within 30 days and send it in to the DOJ, but you get the idea. It's complicated. I remember an episode of the Simpsons where Homer is trying to buy a handgun, and the salesman informs him of the 10-day waiting period, and Homer says, (read this in your best Homer Simpson whine) "But I'm angry now."
"All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void." --Marbury v. Madison 1803
Obligatory +1 to Tuco for citing such a relevant statement from the highest court in the land in one of the most important cases in U.S. history, even if "our" goverment (of the special interests, by the special interests and for the special interests) ignores it with incredible frequency.
Unless the firearm is 50+ years old, in which case it's re-classified in CA as a "relic", and eligible for straight sale with no paperwork necessary. You can go to a gun show with cash and pick up some Mosins no problemo (at least for now).
while you do not need to keep a record of private sale for the sake of the law, if your weapon is used in a shooting of any sort, you need to provide a documentation of chain of custody of the weapon....fact
so, you had better keep a personal record of transactions just in case
the form you need is available online in pdf format, so keep your own records
"yes, I will never load all of my gold/silver/ammunition/guns all on the same end of the canoe again - that shit is heavy."
So you are ready to roll over and make excuses and not stand up to the Government , call yourself an American how about chicken.
Go ahead - be the first across the minefield.
Strategically however the best option right now is to respond just like you are being violently raped by a larger and stronger attacker. Because you are. Your goal in that scenario is to endure what is happening and survive, all the while looking for options to escape or turn the tables on your attacker. Enduring is not surrendering, and the harder choice, since you CAN'T go into mental lala land. You HAVE to stay conscious and aware of what is going on.
Fighting a battle when you can't obtain victory makes no sense, since nothing is static. There are always moments when victory is attainable, and it does no good to tip your hand before the moment can arrive.
Ever wonder why everything always erupts at once? It's because there needs to be a critical mass of people who are aware they are being victimized before a spark can put them into motion. In any honest assessment, are there enough out there who realize what is going on?
Endure my brothers.
Hey Ceteris paribus...
Fuck off you little fucking weasel.....

X marks the spot, right?
A friend of mine sponsors a Shootfest every year on his rural property, I will ask permission from the Boss at home (please?) to go next year... Same guy the day after Obama was elected bought $12,000 of guns & ammo. Were it not for Obama being elected, I would not have (whoops had, lost them in a boating accident, dang!) the AK-47 and 9 mm Beretta.
Matter of fact, there are two pictures of his Shootfest at my latest blog piece ("Dis and Dat" -- NOT Bruce K's "Dis and Dat"), drop me a gmail saying you will behave, and I will send you the link, or just search for it. It's a holiday, so my piece is lighter than normal. Hey, humor, history, conspiracy theories and gold all in one easy-to-digest piece!
If all your stuff fit in a canoe, you needed more stuff to begin with...
I like guns!

That is a GREAT song and video by Australian Steve Lee you link there ... some of the lyrics
« I like guns, I like the way they look
I like the shiny steel and the polished wood
I don't care if they're big or small
If they're for sale, Hell, I want 'em all ...
I ain't gonna shoot anyone
And no one shoots at me, 'cuz I got a gun ...
God made the animals, God made the trees,
God made you, Hell, He even made me
God gave me this voice, so I could be a singer
So you tell me why I got a trigger finger! »

Note to Americans: Surprise! We actually have lots of private civilian guns in Europe.
Germany: 25 million civilian privately owned handguns, shotguns, rifles.
France: 19 million civilian privately owned handguns, shotguns, rifles.
And so on.
We do not carry them around, or have as high gun ownership rates as in the US, but 100 million plus private guns in Europe is definitely significant.
Yes, the crazy UK Brit government that confiscated all privately owned handguns in the 1990s - But the Brit regime has crazy moments indeed. It is not like that on the Continent. Here we know the Nazis can come back, they were here before. Guns stay in European people's hands and homes.
Facts of gun ownership and policies in countries around the world:
http://www.gunpolicy.org/
As long as your expounding where exactly are those guns and ammunition required to be stored, not in your home, right.
Your problem isn't "Nazis". The White race in Europe is dieing out thanks to sub-replacement reproduction, and massive non-white/anti-white cheap labor immigration; when the Whites die out, Western Civilization dies with them. Your problem is globalist capitalism + state socialism. Same as in America.
"As long as your expounding where exactly are those guns and ammunition required to be stored, not in your home, right?"
Saw right through it didn't you?
Plus .357 ;-)
A simple question and red, wtf. Brussels (whose commentary I enjoy) ought to tell us that virtually all private arms are kept at shooting ranges (locked up) in Europe and there are virtually no militarily significant weapons among those allowed to be owned, except Switzerland. If you think your shotgun is in most cases militarily significant lets pace off 500 meters between us and have a match, you shotty, me .308..
bank guy in Brussels
We do not carry them around
bank guy,great to know,and congrats on making sure you get to keep them.When any govt wants your birthright, you can rest assured you will sooner of later be a victim.
Police do great work, but they are 1st responders, and not PROactive. But, Reactive......................................I do not need them after my family or myself is shot dead by a scumbag.(no matter what he's wearing).
But here we do carry them around................................by the millions daily.
Its a great deterrent...crime rates are way down, murder, rape and robberies are at 50yr lows.
It would seem, an armed society really is a polite society.
And a tip o the hat to the NRA for standing in the breach, sometimes completely alone, for all those years.
nmewn
10/4, and do not forget the GOA.
They are even more ardent than the NRA, just not as numerous.
They unlike the NRA(at times) do not believe in compromise with the devil.
I've sent them funds as well, along with ILA.
I'm a "Lifer" ever since Clinton, who I can thank (personally) for really opening my eyes to what they're all about.
"People should not fear their government. Government should fear their people."

The "Death Wish" movies were all about ridding the streets of lawless scum. Time to show the lawless scum how their bad behavior should be properly rewarded.
Too bad the "are you feeling lucky, punk" line was already used in another movie, I'd have enjoyed hearing Bronson say that line.
This is a racist post.
Just 'cause he's black let's start making jokes about food stamps and guns.

Black guns are the best. No joke.
Yeah i'm not racist, I own a color TV and black guns.
too cool for school.
"Scary" black rifles for the win!
My JHP's don't care if you're black, white, yellow or brown.
Neither do I.
Well, I'm not so sure about that. Let's think back a little bit to the 2008 period. People were scared shitless at that point. We were in the middle of what could have been a total collapse of the US (and possibly the world) financial system. I think people are still frightened of the possibility. And while some of this increase can certainly be attributed to the fear of an Obama presidency, I have a hard time attributing it entirely to his election. I think it's just a real-world expression of general fear. People are scared that the socio-economic system is going to collapse and they'll be left to fend for themselves. It's a concern for me, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
As the Eurozone unravels we may learn a great deal.
Potential for socioeconomic collapse worries me not. Gubmint 'solutions' worry me. Gubmints squander, pervert, ruin, and slaughter.
You do not have your ear close enough to the ground... I can state, without a doubt, president obama's election was 95% of the impetus for gun sales.
I remember walking by the gun department at a local department store the week after the election. I noticed that there were a whole bunch of empty shelves. I asked the clerk what was going on and she said that after the election the week before, they had sold out of all ammo, and as soon as they got more in, it instantly sold out.
I shook my head and thought about those foolish right wing kooks. I voted for Obama and I knew he was going to bring about change and make things much better. I went away seriously worried about tea partiers and right wingers starting a revolution and ruining this great country.
Transformer
Ok, So now what is your opinion of yourself, and of your choice you made to vote for him?.
You think the same, or have you seen the results( or lack therof).
I think a lot of folks know who is ruining this country at this time and date.(subject to change next election, if there is one).
Tea Party, and Right Wingers are the backbone of this country,the small business folks, and blue collars, the farmers,the construction people,mostly from the Red states, and many from the Blue.
( name ONE incedent that either have stirred the pot, or started any violence, YOU CANNOT.)
When real danger is obvious, enemies can come together for a common good.
How's that working out for you?
You were worried about a bunch of Bostonians dressed up as Indians and dumping British tea into the Cape starting a revolution?
Or are you just a clairvoyant future-teller?
I gotta say, that was an awful impression of MDB.
Obama told Catholics he'd respect their religious beliefs when he went to get their support to ram Obamacare down our throats. He hasn't said anything as sweet and caring about self defense advocates at all. We don't even have a lie to cling to for hope. I know personally i've bought 2 guns since Obama got elected, including one that needed a class 3 transfer w/ $200 tax stamp. Get them while you can folks, this marxist won't suffer good people for any longer than he has to.
By all means, let's all go back to the 17th century. Every sperm is sacred!
Were did the commenter infer or imply they were Catholic, or write anything about human reproduction or lack thereof? The commenter cited a specific example of Dear Leader saying whatever it took to achieve a political end and further lamented about not having their own lie to cling to on a cold dark night.
Are you angling to be a poster weenie for abortion?
Uncle Remus
I think he was referring to the LIE told to get their vote..........only to get STABBED in the back on that issue.
Abortion,mandatory( birth control meds) for them to provide it to all Catholic employees,by Exec fiat.
Which, is just ONE more over step of his STOMPING on the Amendments.
Government gets no say in the practice of religion, much less requiring by force they (Catholics) provide this shit to their flocks.
Luckily, they are a HUGE voting block, that usually leans Dem, this time HE STEPPED in it.
This will follow him all the way to the 2012 elections, and will cost him millions of votes.
Keep it up bamster.................
There's a reason why they often vote Democrat and thats precisely why he knows it's not a big deal for them. The cardinals and the pope have to put on a show, but the rank and file are socialists through and through and will still vote for Obama.
covsire
Disagree, 50% of Catholics still do not believe in any form of contraception.
PLUS the bigger issue, HE stuck his Dumbo floppy eared ass nose into the Const & BOR's YET again.
The Federal Government does not have the right to tell Churches or any religion how to procreate,and FORCE them to promote death.
Have another question I would have liked to ask WHY was the Catholic Church singled out on this?
Had he done this to Southern Baptists, his ass would still be on the BBQ grill.
I'm not a racist.
I only dislike Obama's white half...
I thought he was half white. Or is he ashamed of that part?
It's his Kenyan citizenship he's ashamed of.
Nope. He can always wash up the camo and greet with:
"Hello, I'm Berry Bush ... "
What did last year's flash mobs and flash robs have in common, Bobby?
Those are dangerous.
Let's see... fast reload drill 5 mags, ten rounds in about 20 seconds or less. Total of 50. A Glock happy stick can dump just as many if not more with just two changes.
Maybe half will be hit but for certain the leaders get it first. Anyone still advancing gets seconds.
I hate to say it goddamn it. I carry to live not to kill.

Nice "bullet points"
Actually, I think E. Holder is gonna claim this title.
He will sell guns to anyone, as long as it is illegal.
Joebloinvestor
That dumb ass Mexican Pres. Calderone has put up a fence sign EIGHT feet tall at the ENTRY point in Texas into Mexico, telling the US Government NO MORE guns shipped into Mexico from the USA.!!!!!!!!
I agree, the Government should not be setting up American gun ownership for a take down, over something they HAVE done in secret themselves, to the tune of over 2000+ we know of so far.
All the while Fast & Furious was going on, Fox Celente, and Hellary were stumping to try and pass even more draconian laws against Americans for Mexicos woes................what Hypocrites.
All the while THEY were sending illegal weapons in, at least two Federal agents have been murdered with these weapons sent in by OUR gov.
As we know Holder is immune to prosecution, as is Obama.BOTH were aware and authorized it.
What a shame.
Get ready for the UN Small Arms Treaty, when he signs it...............I fully expect serious shit when he does it.
treaties have to be ratified by supermajority
trav7777
Trav, would not a 2/3 majority Senate UP vote, and POTUS get it done, the House would have no say.
The way I understand it.
True that. Only the senate ratifies treaties. Art. II sect 2.2 advise and consent with 2/3 of those present.
"..should the firearms industry support President Obama for a second term or not?"
Nope, give that man a bullet
I know the guys at my local gun store are passing out "Obama....Four More Years, & We Can Retire" bumper stickers.....and I don't think they are joking......
Awesome :-)
fast and furious
This article is a complete fail. I expected from Zero Hedge to know the difference between correlation and causation. I guess not.
Just tell us the make and model of the firearms in your possession and move along will ya.
So you don't think obama and his communist buddies want to make it harder to buy firearms and ammunition, thereby causing preemptive action? I guess not.
Glocks are awesome. G20 and G22, which fire 5 and 4 different calibers, respectively, with appropriate conversion kits/barrels.
I bought mine for the impending collapse more than Obama, though.
Whatever, you think you are going to change barrels according to scrounged ammo? That is a fantasy I hadn't considered. Glocks ARE awesome, but mostly because they are darn near idiot proof and easy enough for plebes to break down. Exhibit A is eyecandy.com with Ashley showing how to clean your Glock. I am... I mean WAS, a Walther guy and still enjoy that bookmark.
If you're going to do that, Thompson/Center Encore is the way to go. Single shot, but they're nice.
Yeah, Glocks *are* awesome, especially if you're talking about reliability & simplicity. They break down into..what...3 whole parts for cleaning, and you just can't get 'em to jam, no matter how much you neglect/abuse them. They're the AK's of handguns. Fine weapons....but they have a fatal flaw.
No safety. So if you want to carry the gun hot, you'd better have your shit together. At this point, I fully expect all the Internet Tough Guys and "Ex- SEALS" to chime in about how a fully-focused Warrior never lets his guard down or his attention stray _for even a second_; "Booger Hook off the Bang Switch"; all that macho bullshit. But the world ain't full of SEALs or Recon Marines - it's full of regular guys & gals. People who aren't perfect, who sometimes forget about the dangers & responsibilities of carrying a hot weapon.
Guys like Plaxico Burress. NFL stud who went out clubbing, had a Glock in the waistband because a)gotsa be lookin badass and b)gotsa be ready whe the Heavy Shit be comin' down, and c) the legitimate reason: rich celebrities are sometimes targets of Bad Guys. So he's out on the floor, shaking the old Groove Thing, Impressing the Bitches, and....the gun starts sliding down his (warmup) pants, down his leg, headed for the floor. Since possession of a handgun in NYC is a crime worse than 'swindling billions from millions of investors', say (especially when you compare prosecution rates and incarceration guidelines)....he naturally panics and grabs for the gun. By the trigger. Whereupon he shoots himself in the leg.
Result? 2 years in prison that *would not have happened* if he'd been carrying a Ruger or a Berretta or anything else with a safety on it. Hell, a frickin' FIRESTAR - the laughably uncool & nerdy weapon of choice of "Heat"'s superscumbag, Waingro, would have saved his ass/leg that night. Bad rep, kinda mostly useless, just like Waingro - but there would have been no self-inflicted shot fired that night at the muhhhfuhhhn disco. Nobody would have known a thing.
I think it's best to play the numbers here. Probable odds of winning a gunfight because you had a hot Glock that you didn't have to waste time disengaging a safety: 10 Million to 1, more or less? Probable odds of carrying a hot gun and never once accidentally shooting yourself or someone else because you have a safety? Much better. MUCH better. Sure Glocks are sexier. Comparing Glocks to old-dude guns like Ruger or Berretta is like comparing a Vette to a minivan. One's much cooler than the other. But they both have to follow certain restrictuive Rules which tend to negate much of the Sexiness Factor; both will get you where you want to be at pretty much the same time; and one's *much better* from an insurance standpoint. (and if you want sexy and have the scratch, there's always the safety-included HK. Totally bitchin' AND safe. What a concept.) For the last word, let's look at recent military rifles. Am not a soldier and have never been but I'm pretty sure the M-16 and M-4 have a safety switch, and I know the AK does. Listen to the pros, gang: Glock Schmock.
'Bout a long winded fellow, aint ya? Like I said, I *was* a Walther guy, because if a person wanted the ease and reliability of a Glock, but maybe wanted a double action decocker, the P99 AS (anti stress) lets you run hot or backed off into a long pull DA that feels like a revolver. I like it a lot. A quick tug on the slide and you are in Glock mode - punch the decocker and you can drop kick the thing like an all day doorstop. The P99 also comes in a QA (quick action) Glock clone model, but why bother - it's unsafe.
Plexico Burris deserved every second in Hotel Bloomberg for being an idiot.

So you've never royally fucked up in your life? Never made a mistake so profoundy dumb that you'd still be embarrassed by it decades later? And if you HAD, you're fully A-OK with the idea that doing so should have cost you some prison time, and furthermore "you'd deserve it"? Uh-huh. 'Cause perfection like that hapepns all the time in real life. I dunno, maybe it's me, but I just can't help but be reminded of the infamous old youtube vid in which the macho & studly DEA agent announces to a packed house that in his opinion, "he's the only person in this room professional enough to handle this weapon". Much hilarity promptly ensues. ("DEA agent shoots himself in the foot.")
I imagine y'all knew this was coming: Supercop "shot himself in the foot"......with a Glock.
i am white, i don't disco, and my mofuggggin name ain't plexico. ain't gots no safety neeetha mofuk!
Holsters work...
Bought my almost-teenage son his first shotgun for his B-Day. The wife is trying to convince me of what a good investment lead is. I must be doing something right.
Lead is not as good as copper and brass as an investment. Due to stringent recycling requirements for lead, nearly 100% of U.S. demand for lead is covered by the effort. Thus, price is not as affected by geo-political factors.
Every kid should spend some time with a shotgun and some clays, even if parents don't want one in the house. Clay sports are great fun.
You also forget what he seems to have done for bullion sales!
sick!!!!!!
Too damn bad he didn't do the same for this book's ownership.

Just finished it last week. Next up is Crossing the Rubicon or The Long Emergency. Both are sitting on my shelf. Any suggestions as to which one to crack open 1st?
