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?

The old saying still applies - when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
So is ambulance...should we all become doctors and surgeons then?
Ever hear of CPR? Knowledge and skills are power over your environment. Do you live naked in the woods?
No dummy. The gubmint gave tim his house and money to buy clothes.
Good point Tim. "Honey, throw out the bandaids, cough syrup, ipecac, everything.. Tim the tool says so.. What country you from Tim, guessing Singapore, where daddy government wil l cane you if your a bad boy.
I have done some doctoring, and know enough when to leave it alone and wait for EMT to come.
I carry a trauma kit in my vehicle. Galls dot com is where you get em. You as a Civilian may not have access to any meds, but you make do with what you can have.
Even a little bottle and a few strongs to hold you down while I get you patched up is better than nothing. You can punch me later.
Hospitals? HAH. Those will be stripped out first.
Then the Pharmacy.
Every thinking White Man knows what this dusky harbinger son of a communist whore represents.
Every thinking man.
Race is irrelevant. I really do think there are dem operatives who go to libertarian and right leaning websites and plant false flag racial rants suxh as this.
shut the fuck up, bitch.
demographics is destiny. Ask any South Afrikaan
demographis is destiny. Ask any Nazi.
There. Now it's fixed for you. Weakling.
jew faggot. we're going after your jew daughters in your segregated neighborhoods and schools.
And dont think for one second that we aren't routing for Russia, China, and/or Iran/Syria/Egypt/Lebanon to nuke the fuck out of that khazarian hellhole once and for all. Hopefully dc and londonistan are hit as well.
Go long scuba gear!

Damn sand bars & boats don't mix even at 200 miles off shore
What an effing stupid country!!
I guess the europeans have proven themselves smarter?
Governments always have bigger and better guns than citizens. Even in the USA. Your Glock or M16 is still "small arms" compared to their arsenal. Europeans own a lot of guns but gun ownership is strickly regulated to sort out the psychos and gun nuts. Guns are bought for specific purpose, hunting being the number one reason, not personal safety. If a normal middle class citizen really has to buy a gun for personal safety something is seriously wrong with your country.
tim73,
you didn't answer my question in a prior post........scroll back up, and fess up.(Man Up dude)
The more you post the more ignorance you display,either on purpose as a TROLL, or just a tool..
"If a normal middle class citizen really has to buy a gun for personal safety something is seriously wrong with your country."
The "country" is fine. It is the alphabet soup of former Americans running our governmental agencies that are the problem! There are 25,000,000 veterans in the U. S. and unlike the alphabet soup traitors they are still Americans. Choose wisely alphabet soup traitors. Remember Nuremberg!
Well, Switzerland for one, has a more heavily militarised and armed populace than you do and they don't shoot each other and their children day in and day out. One reason is that they are not scared little pussies frightened of everything that exists outside their front door.
The fact that you, as a nation of gun owners would celebrate a presidential candidate who was so scared of snakes and coyotes that he had to carry a gun when he walked his dog says everything about your warped understanding of courage and bravery. Stanley Park in Vancouver has heaps of coyotes but I don't see 12 year-old girls here carrying when they walk their collies. As a kid growing up in Australia we had snakes that would eat anything you have in Texas for breakfast but we didn't load up a sawed off pump action before we went to play in the bush.
You have becoming a nation of fraidy cats, feasting on inane conspiracy theories and duped by a pig-headed, greedy, power hungry Australian fool who fills your heads with Faux News fantasies while he fills his pockets with your money. Wake up and smell the coffee, join the rest of us out here in the real world and once again be the America that we all grew up admiring and rooting for.
Ha, I picked up a Glock 27 subcompact .40 to complement my Glock 23 .40 just last Thursday. The mags are compatible. Now, to buy a KelTec Sub2000 and the armament portion of my BOB will be complete.
Rule #1. Never talk about Fight Club!
There seems to be some problems with these figures. I know it's not a complete picture, just a sampling, but gun sales up 98% and ammo sales up only 33% means that multiple weapons are purchased and are not being fired, or, people are buying a lot of guns and not training with them (hence the low relative ammo sales).
Training is very important, please don't just buy a gun and leave in in a safe place until it's needed, cycle those rounds!
I think ammo was peaking a little earlier than the range used for the statistics shown. Also... a lot of gun-folk re-load their own - these statistics may be only considering commercially produced ammo... not individual reloaded components (bullets, brass, powder, primers).
Also, the increase seen in some of the states concealed carry permit applications might also be in those states that most recently passed laws legalizing it... might not be but my guess is that it is.
That's the funny thing about statistics, etc. They are all taken from some subset of data... it's always best to know from what perspective the information comes from that establishes the numbers.
I have about 8000 rounds fired and counting.
I have rebuilt several weapons twice or three times. I have moved other weapons to swap//trade for newer weapons as barrel wear and other considerations set in.
It is not about me. It is about spending money here in America keeping the Leather People fed making you belts and holsters, ammo makers fed who know what they are doing and learning the laws and applying pressure to those in the Stae house who resist greater freedom.
My area is so totally armed anything from large dangerous game all the way down to home defense.
The LEO's know we are a good home and know who the other good guys are as well. The trick is, we as the People ARE the Government and the Government we sent to DC has not done their jobs in years and it's time to make some changes.
Indeed in a Class of 20 people a few are standouts and gain a interest in serving as a LEO or otherwise. Some go to teach others and assist in different ways.
Give it some time, America should be and WILL be a Free country with no fear of anything except criminals and a tyrant.
This is what I hate, an industry that is growing, promotes small manufacturing and is in the process of being banned.
When these small manufacturers could really go big time (I want to say b*ow up but homeland security..) and start trading with the rest of the world if it wasn't for ITAR- un-ban exports of a the small stuff, guns, parts, optics- its not like only America makes a gun. It would also help export inflation, promote jobs manufacturing- actually making stuff. Even the Private equity guys and the banks would benefit- loans, buyouts, fees- lawyers of course.
All this blah blah anti gun, gun kill BS - 50,000-100,000 people in the usa die from getting the wrong medication or from hospital error- Fix half of this problem and replace pharmacists with vending machines.
When's the last time you got a wrong can of cola?
people don't kill people... doctors kill people! HAH!
Vending machines? Good point. Maybe that's why hospitals now use them for medications. Unfortunatiely, a human comes between you and the vending machine, so guess what? 100,000 dead each year.
Are Native Indians still such a threat in USA? They regularly attack suburbs and rape the womanfolk and kill the children?
No, they attack your home and rape your woman and kill your children... because you can't level the playing field and defend yourself.
Guns are the greatest force equalizer in history. A feeble wheelchair bound elderly woman can defend herself from the most determined assault, simply by pulling a small .380 out from her purse.
In addition to that, our God given freedoms here in the United States of America provide us with the ability to keep tyranny in check. This certainly hasn't kept them from trying and trying and trying... ever so slowly tightening the collar on our freedoms. But it WILL reach a tipping point... and then. Then we'll red-wash our Constitution clean of the corruption and the evil that we've let imbed itself into our great country.
Sure, that grandmama with that .380 is going to take out a whole street gang with automatic weapons. BTW, you already FAILED, USA is a fascist state already. US President can order now any American citizens to be detained without pesky trials or even killed if he says so. Homeland security is already there and you do not stand a chance against those guys.
Surely you jest Tim?!
Ha, he never jests fool.. Newly discovered video of Tim the Enchanter using his 2nd amendment..

Even with those 200 million handguns and rifles USA is happily turning into a fascist state while these gun toting morons are cleaning their Glocks and dreaming of being great warriors...
tim73
tim, I think your being a tad premature.Most weapons owners do not see themselves in that light.
IF they do, then they should not own any.
The PROPER catalyst has not yet shown up, I would wait to pass judgement until the gauntlet has been thrown down.
Every MAJOR event has a catalyst................we haven't heard the edict, or seen the whites yet.
tim73
You need to spend some time at USCCA's Website. They will show you the light.
We carry and it is a absolutely serious business. It is my joy that nothing ever happens each day. Truly.
Until then I will thumb you down for this silly post you made.
There are warriors, only a damned few. Rest are sheep, sheepdogs or wolves.
It is the wolves with their sociopaths cunning and ruse you need to fear.
Tim73, I know a number of gun owners and none of them are anything like that. They own and train because they want to be able to defend themselves is the need ever comes. Another example of two ways of looking at the world.
So you are living in a 3rd world then. Like in a Brazilian favela except with more fancy housing and nicer neon lights. If you really cannot rely on police and security guards and you have to own a piece you are basically a 3rd worlder.
You are either a sheltered child or a complete shut in. The real world, outside your gated community (your room which you never leave?), is a lot more dangerous than you know. I live in the city in a middle class neighborhood and had a gun pulled on me once and was mugged once. Never again. I could go on all day about experiences I've had and friens have had- ex girlfriend on a major university campus had her apartment broken into by typical ghetto trash, intruder had a gun, was going to rape her but the neighbors heard the noise kicked in her door and scared off intruder. Saved the day. Wake the fuck up.
What you are describing is a typical 3rd world, failed or soon to be failing country. Gated communities, mentally ill and just plain old criminals out there in the streets, a lot of guns on both sides, politicians almost all corrupted populists and snake oil salesmen and you are not really safe anywhere. You do not even trust the police. I don't see much difference between Brazil/Argentina and USA anymore. Except those two are actually slowly improving...
OK I get it, funny trolling. no one can be this stupid.
Tim, I have decided you are no better than a Troll.
Therefore your posts now and in the future has no credibility with me.
Sorry, that is the way it has to be.
I grow tired of trying to make a School Circle for idiots like you.
We live in a 3rd world country with 1st world prices. May as well be in a 3rd world country with 3rd world prices?
No. I live in a rural area, but it's a tightly knit small (not a gated) neighborhood where people are realistic about the response time of the police if any trouble should find its way to our doors. The police are also realistic about how thinly stretched they are and given budget cutbacks that have already occurred and the ones yet to come, the ones we've spoken to say they're glad to know that some people are able to fend for themselves.
You'll either come to terms with reality or you won't.
I personally don't think they are ineterested in taking our guns. It's much easier to play the politics of diviciveness and have us kill each other off.
Government: If we don't like something and there's too much of it, we'll just tax it to death.
... watch for that to come "fast and furious" if this communist get's re-elected...
Pb will become a de facto currency once the paper stuff fails.
Now who the hell are we trying to kid here? Most of the increase in gun and ammo sales had nothing to do with Obama. I don't like him, but nevertheless let's have the truth. We had an economic meltdown in 2008 and that scared alot of people. It's been postponed, for the time being. But people were arming up massively for a societal meltdown. That had nothing to do with Obama. We also had a SUPPLY shortage of ammunition as Afghanistan ramped up after Obama got elected. That created a shortage at the ammo outlets, which of course pulls out all the conspiracy theorists and prompts them to stack up, creating an increase in demand. Laughable. It was hard getting certain calibers at the local Walmart but I got as much as I could buy online. Who the fuck are we bullshitting here?
Back to the silver "shortage" next?

After reading all the comments, so far, the thing that bothers me is the somewhat amped up... excitement.
You need to experience 20+ armed and locked Handgunners intent on pushing through a crowd going the other way (Also armed) to get to the 5 gunmen at the end of the range.
I was first up at the head of the pack. My instructor and I looked at each other and made damn sure we both understood I am getting through and he will not get hurt.
Excitement. Hah. More like coiled energy ready to hammer the bad guy with both guns.
When you do settle a fire solution and open fire, it's all peaceful until it's over.
And what life threatening situation were you and your "instructor" in, may I ask? 20 handgunners going against other handgunners? Where and why? That's obviously not combat.
It was a Mall Gunman scenario. A group of people are fleeing as a unit as fast as they can trying to make as much chaos as possible.
Everyone of them and us has been carefully checked twice or three times to prove that all are on the same playbook.
The people who are going TO the terrorist or gunman know exactly what needs to be done on "The Line" on the range floor. Only 5 are allowed at a time on that line to take out the gunman.
Then everyone swaps roles.
Now transport yourself to a Walmart somewhere... say during rush hour on a first of month while everyone buys with SNAP Cards.
Several badguys hit the place from both doorways and a hundred or so people start to bleat, scatter and runabout. It has happened before.
If you have not been provided even a small taste in strictly controlled training you will not be able to understand how difficult it can be to take a bad guy down without taking out granny who ran between you two.
There are hundreds of handgun, shotgun, carbine, rifle and other weapons including martial arts and so forth all around the Nation.
I believe it is far good for the Gun Owner to avail themselves of training, even if it is a local PD allowing you to be a guest at their range for example.
The more I learn, the better I understand my weaknesses and strengths. And I hope the fellow Gunowners are the same. At least the ones I have met and enjoyed training with and shooting.
Between that, doctoring and using some older skills that are applicable in post collapse living to assist self, family and others where possible... we can carry on.
But right now, the Government has a very big job. Keeping the masses happy long enough to fix all the issues.
Some of the masses are tired of waiting and are going out to do it themselves to make a better future.
Good observation, it's palpable.
As if some people actually want armageddon? Will they be excited if that happens and they are living off their cans of beans? I am prepared, don't get me wrong, but I don't want to see it happen. I think for some of these posters it is a novelty for them and some kind of adrenaline rush, but I see very little of real world experience in that. I have been in combat, and I have met very few people who enjoyed that sick shit. Some of these people think if society collapses then they are sitting pretty with their spam and beans. BS. Let them see an abscessed tooth for one of their children. Or a heart condition. I read this blog to get the truth, not to hear from more sociopaths.
I agree with what you say.
It is not pleasant being without the stuff you are used to having.
Even running a Generator is a stressful time until normal power is back up.
Imagine having to use Austrian Woodgas to feed the gennie 24/7?
Katrina was our wake up. Never again. Not ever.
This was my point with OWS. The right model the wrong message. These idiots are clamoring for what? Anarchy, no ruples, or a tyrannical government that will give you what you want. To get this 'revolution' millions must die, just ask Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Hitler, how many dead in the name of tyranny and government control, facism and communism. The United States is, or was, the purveyor of individual liberty. That is being taken away from us. I want a revolution but it has to be a revolution of thoughts, of the mind. Killing half the country so the other half can have what they want, that i snot what we need. Liberty IS better than socialism, communism or any other model. But we have to return to that fundamental belief in this country. We have a president and media that DESPISE liberty because it takes power away from them. Cheap gas equals freedom. Hence, they're making gas more expensive. Gun ownership equals freedom of self preservation - not dependence on a super cop that is going to swoop in at the last moment to prevent my robbery, mugging or murder. But for all of these people hoping for and demanding 'revolution' whether it's gold bugs or OWS clowns - their solution is nothing but misery and death. And enslavement after. And I agree with you - you must be prepared.
To all americans on this blog, talk with those who aren't with you. Explain that we must change the dialogue, explain that we must demand NDAA revocation, demand that Obama and his 'czars' be removed. Demand that Ginsberg be removed from the bench for stating the south african or canadian constitutions are better than ours. Spread the word, don't be afraid, people are waking up everywhere. And they are open to the idea we need to eliminate the police state and corrupt politics of washington that we have devolved into.
therearetoomany...
But for all of these people hoping for and demanding 'revolution' whether it's gold bugs or OWS clowns - their solution is nothing but misery and death. And enslavement after.
NAME one group that has advocated starting a shooting war to foment change or a Revolution , you cannot.
That is dead nuts LAST thing any of us want.
DosZap
I saw more than enough signs at OWS that called for Anarchy and Revolution. Most have been scrubbed from the net but the fact of the matter, especially having been in and around quite a few of the gatherings of OWS is that the signs for revolution and anarchy were prevalent and there.
You may argue that those calling for such things were 'not' OWS - but the fact is I saw it. Furthermore and even more troubling is OWS is supporting Obama when he is in fact the biggest violator of crony capitalism - as detailed right here on ZH. To not acknowledge this guy as 'the problem' is either extreme ignorance or a sign that OWS is bought and paid for by Oblamer and his supporters - and this is known fact - SEIU, Soros, etc all are supporting and hiring in support of OWS AND the president. They will be back in big numbers and much more violence. It's coming - and I hope you've moved to a state or county where guns are legal...cuz you'll need em. All due respect to all on Zerohedge who have opened my eyes to what is going on - our number one priority is to turn this guy out of office whether it be Romney Santorum or someone else. Then we can worry about getting the country back. But we have to lead and politicians will follow. This guy we have does not want anything but the destruction of the US as we know it he supports Soro's open society - he BELIEVES in this, he believes in black liberation theology and social justice....and in Obama's very own words he's going to act on his own despite congress and that the constitution is a charter of 'negative liberties' on the government. He's already done this with ACTA, the UN treaty to replace the need for SOPA and PIPA. This is tyranny. And yes, republicans are in bed with the banks, too but at least we can elect someone who pays lip service to American Exceptionalism. If this man is re-elected we are through and it won't be easy. It is going to be miserable. And alot of people will die. And OWS supports this president. OWS wants this...thus OWS wants death.

I'm seeing many associates and friends buy guns for the first time in their lives, and their motivation is almost always an economic collapse. Unless you're a complete idiot, you see what's coming to America soon. Fortune favors the prepared!
Based on the last chart, a back-of-the-envelope calculation shows that prosecutions decreased around 45% under GW Bush, and 13% under Obama. So I disagree with Tyler that a lack of prosecutions under Obama is driving this dramatic increase in small arms sales.
Really, the numbers are so large that these figures can only be explained by mass psychology, and there are probably a variety of factors at play:
1) Racism, pure and simple. It is plainly part and parcel of US culture, although I'm sure I'll get some junks for even suggesting the idea that there are actually rascist folks in this country (white, black, yellow, red, et. al.) It's not really even racism per se, it's more xenophobia, or fear of what we don't know and are not familiar with. Xenophobia is really bad in this country, and these gun sales are a very clear signal of fear among the general public. We can debate about what they're afraid of, but I think we can rule out a massive upswing in interest in target practice and sharpshooting.
2) Concerns about a breakdown in social order (a legitimate reason, IMHO)
3) Concerns about personal security (related to #2)
4) Relentless and unending violence in television, movies, and videogames, where the prevailing paradigm is: "got a problem?, go kill someone."
5) Increased hunting (this is probably a good thing to the extent that folks can become more self-reliant)
On the other hand, sites like ZH are exposing the flawed ideas of the money masters and controllers and winning the battle of ideas. I like to think (although I might be having some wishful thinking here) that correct ideas trump superior arms.
It is a variety of factors for most of us. In myself, and the people I know, race is not the issue. Many of us remember the Clinton administration's demonization of gun owners, and the legislation that followed. Seeing another Democrat president come into office certainly brought back those memories for me. The financial crisis has no doubt also influenced the decision for some to buy guns.
OK. That makes some sense to me. I'd be happy to add that to my list. But do you think that explains very much of this increase?
OK. That makes some sense to me. I'd be happy to add that to my list. But do you think that explains very much of this increase?
I think it's a tough thing to quantify. A poll? I'm not aware of any on this one. For people in my age range (I'm 40) it's relevent.
It still doesn't justify Tyler's assertion that the the increase in gun sales is due to Obama.
I remember reading articles prior to, and after O's election documenting an increase in requests for FBI background checks for firearm purchases. I've owned guns all of my adult life, and have known many others in that category. It was impossible to not notice people around me who were concerned that more restrictive laws may be around the corner after his election. Some of them bought guns they would not have gotten otherwise. How do I know this? Because they said it explicitly. Those purchases were mostly AR15's, high capacity semi-autos and the like. The kinds of guns that would likely be singled out in new legislation. I realize this is anecdotal evidence, but I doubt that only people in my area had those thoughts, and decided to act on them. If you're looking for proof of iron clad causation, it's not there.
I phrased my posts badly. What I meant to say was that the data on prosecutions that Tyler posted didn't support a relationship between a particular president and gun sales. I know you're right about people going out and buying guns. Lots of people I know, including myself bought one. Different people have different views on guns; for me they are only useful as self-defense, other people have other interests, and that's fine.
I usually avoid gun threads because I know I have an unpopular view, but I believe ideas trump guns when it comes to big ideas. It's not an accident that the sword has been associated with the word, and ZH epitomizes that idea. TD is going right after "the man" and to me, nothing is more powerful than speaking truth to power, as if to say: respond to this!
Then again, maybe this is all wishful thinking that things don't break down into a shooting war, because that's not exactly my forte.
When Obama came into office the shit was already hitting the fan big time. There are some of us that believe that neither Party is going to save us and those people buy gunz&ammo.
Race is definitely an issue for me.
I know what the jews did in south afreeka and what they have been agitating for in America for over 100 years.
joe slovo= saul alinsky
same group of fucking counterfeiting communist jew bums and their footsoldier negroes.
If anyone can seriously believe that quality of life is not perfectly inversely correlated to the % of blacks in any given area and that "jews" aren't insiduous nation wreckers, feel free to expose yourself as a hideous asshole.
you must be fun at parties
may your car run out of gas at night in new orleans
Not happening.
And you and I travel in different circles, thank God.
U sound like 1 fun-loving cracker honky redneck! F*ck U douchebag.
Or ask for Directions in Jersey City.
God help you if you slip up.
I know where niggers are and heed God's warning label.
African-Americans don't control the money system nor do they advocate killing others as much as the Jews. African-Americans tend to make a lot less money, work shittier jobs, & are lower on the socio-economic totem pole, so what's the Jew's excuse for being such troublemakers?
Oh, I forgot. They're the "chosen" people & we're goyim. I'd rather live with the African-Americans!
all due respect geek, your points are nothing but hollywood psychobabble. Racism exists everywhere. It's not something peculiar to the US and frankly, based on immigration rates in this country from EVERYWHERE in the world, including places like Iran Iraq North Africa etc...your accusation is ridiculous. In fact, the US is so accepting of incoming people that we allow Muslims to freely set up shop in this country, precisely the people we are 'at war' with. Meaning, we aren't at war with them if you don't follow. Yes, muslims are meeting resistance in the US because, I believe, of their inability or unwillingness to stand up and denounce what people are doing in the name of their religion. It's quite a natural response for americans to be leary of people who's most vocal advocates are preaching the destruction of the United States. Yet, despite this wariness muslims are strong in the US and we have muslims in congress. CAIR and the Obama admin's pooh-poohing of Nadal Hassan, releasing gitmo detainees only to have them go back to the fight and of course the all out assault on people of faiths other than islam....doesn't help.
Television and movie violence does NOTHING to increase violence anywhere. The only thing that increases violence is the acceptance of violence, making excuses for why that violence exists and and not punishing those that commit violence. Violence is a tool of the hopeless. And, the entire world right now is pretty hopeless.
Item 4 is sheer lunacy. Show me where in this country the prvailing paradigmn is "got a problem, kill someone". The only place that exists is in gang infested areas, places created by the very acceptance of violence, acceptance of excuses for such violence and mostly, places created by the idea that government must provide a 'safety net'. It's more like a trawling net to capture as many dependent votes for politicians giving away people's basic needs. .
The only thing driving the explosion of gun sales is a government that is hostile to American exceptionalism. A government that is aggressively dissolving the rights provided for in the constitution. And, the gross injustices being laid upon our heads by what in effect is a facist state RIGHT HERE in America. Our current admin (not saying Bush was anything different) is hostile to the constution, the media who is supposed to be our tribune, to prevent the abuses of the government are marching lockstep with the wholesale purchase of favors for the elite that are corporate owners and government officials. The fed is siphoning value out of our economy on what apparently is a daily basis. Thanks much for the University of Connecticut psychology BA assessment of the motivations of the normal, day to day american.
No insult intended.
Demand for guns would overwhelm supply were most Americans aware.

a sociopath cannot feel emotion- but I could understand some peoples wish for things to push over. Its a definitive, people like definite things even if they are bad.
For me I feel like this is kind of a twilight zone since 2005- everything is just so weird and unprecedented, in our lifetime anyway.
Wrong place
Amerika: Love it or leave it...

Keep Honking. I'm still reloading.

BE PREPARED, nuff said.
The difference between USA and western Europe plus Canada is the attitude towards police officers. In the US an officer is feared, not respected while in western Europe/Canada he/she is respected, not feared. Europeans generally trust the police to do their job properly. That attitude difference is probably why so many Americans feel the need to own a gun for personal safety.
In most cases that respect is also earned by the officers in Europe. They are better trained (2-3 years of schooling initially) and the sorting process is quite strict. They also rarely have their guns drawn in any situations. You do not need a gun because the police is there to really help.
Euro officers are respected , mmm.. I guess most Euros respect them just enough not to thicken up the gas in those molotovs too much, looks like a pretty watery concoction to me..
Hes just trolling. Read all his comments. No one is this stupid.
Berlin has pretty much every May the scheduled dust-up between Neo-nazis/Anarchists and the Polizei but even those rarely turn up deadly because both sides know the rules and limits. When Americans riot there are bodies everywhere and anything goes, including shooting down innocent bystanders.
exceptin', of course, the guys standing around with automatic weapons with german shepards the size of small cars.
Let me know when I can walk into a gun store and buy any small arm weapon I want without having to register or tell the gov't anything, or pay for a permit (pay for your right).
Police/Detective/Law Enforcement work SHOULD be the most difficult job there is becuase if it's easy, then that just means your rights have been suspended so that information can be gathered.
FUUUUUUUUUUCKKK THAAAAAAAAAAAT..
Move to vermont....you just need your drivers license to buy a gun in any appropriately equipped general store and to conceal carry.

UGrev,
Let me know when I can walk into a gun store and buy any small arm weapon I want without having to register or tell the gov't anything, or pay for a permit (pay for your right).
( what you have described is a European issue).
Here we pay no permit fees, and our purchases are not Registered,if you have a CCP you can buy whatever you want off the shelves and walk out the door after filling out an ownership 4473 Form, that does NOT go to the government.
Don't waste your money on a big gun collection unless you first have spare parts, extra cleaning kits, and lots of ammunition for the ones you already have. Any smart politician will come after the ammo before the guns.
So in other words, the country became a lot safer because obama is an anti-gun whacko? Talk about irony.
The rule of Unintended consequence; it's quite common, really. I sure don't see many NRA folk voting for him, tho.
I'm sure the next president, regardless of party or spin, will scare the Bejesus out of the proletariat enough to keep firearm and ammo sales brisk in the next 4 year election cycle.
Long: Glock / Alliant Powder
No, this year's people who decide to become gun owners will experience these in stages.
Gun buying, Gun shooting at range.
Then learn about ammo.
Then gun gets dirty, they want to clean it.
Then they can learn to buy the right belt, shirt, holsters etc etc etc etc.
Then they want more ammo.
Then they learn better where they are about things like eye dominance, sight issues, maintenance particulars and so on.
As friends and family are somewhat divided and some more become encourage to join in the freedom.
This Nation has been through cycles of shortage in everything gun in the last few years on the Civilian side. If I am not mistaken there is a new factory on the east coast making guns at 100 per week feeding a back order that is three years old and stands at 90,000 guns.
Finally but not least...
those old flea markets and antiques? You will learn how to reuse those old things to make a good living without today's crap.
It is not a pleasant living but you will get by just as your great great grandparents have done.
++for the Alliant Powder. makers of bullseye for pistols and the big grains for the M1 Abrams main; they know their powder alright.
Sat 800,
You know there is only one manufacturer of powder left in the US?.
Alliant is not one, but they makle damn fine powder.
The 2nd Ammendment is actually a perfect tool for fascist and for American rich elite! Most Americans will sign up and give up everything else as long as you allow them to own small arms.
No-fly list, TSA Nazis, Homeland security, the right to detain indefinitely and even kill own citizens and more and more militarized police. All those are now a nice set of tools for fascists in charge in the USA. Wake up, idiots. You are already living the kind of police state you so much wanted to fight against!
I couldn't agree more> I'm from Ireland and every time I go to the US it is really striking how much of a police state it is gradually becoming. Maybe people don't notice gradual change if they live with it daily.
On the topic, I worked in Texas once and there was a notice in the office that basically asked people not to bring their guns and drugs into work. I jokingly asked a colleague what they did with their guns then and she told me they left them in the glove box in their car in the public car park. Amazing.
I won't tell you where they put the drugs ... you don't want to go there.
The hopi said that just before the 5th world (sonance) arrived upon mankind, people
would notice odd new animals and plants around them. I personally have
now seen 5 totally new and amazing insect and animal life forms.
I will not desribe these as you would find them too fantastic to beleive,
but the time is now. Planet Mbooboo, the red death star of the Hopi
has passed us by, followig the Blue Star Kachina which danced in the
plaza two years ago. They have wondered at it's passing, 7 times.
then the tail of the dragon did snap against the earth. Woe unto mankind!
Soon multitudes of Isreali settlers shall destroy the Al Aqsa mosque
with the blessing of Israeli government, then shall you run and hide
anywhere you can as the entire world descends into complete war
and chaos everywhere. It is then that you will fire all of your guns
at once and fly into space...born to be wild.
I will be the comet and you will be the earth
I will be the fire and you will be the hearth
this love is a sure thing
I bought a shitload of reloading supplies in the early part of the 00's when I was still gainfully employed and today I have enough .45, 9mm, .38 spcl, 77grn .223 to shoot the rest of my life, and I figure I got at least 20 more good years left. I can reload .45 a.c.p. for 6 cents a piece( sitting on 40,000 large). More than half of my supply is lead, but I caught a good deal from my shooting range and bought out the rest of Star Bullets jacketed rounds when they went out of business for .07 cents a piece for 230 grain jacketed. I bought 10,000 that cost me 730.00 with cartage. Find a deal like that today. Bitchezz
The answer to your question is simple.
If it's all about the money, then Yes.
If it's all about saving this country and the ideals our fouding fathers gave us, then No.
Guns at home, bombs abroad. The American way.
The real, uhm not so real terrorists.

“Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort.”
? Robert A. Heinlein
The man had it right. THEY ALL BLOW ! Politics is a lie. How about accountable representation instead. You fuck up while in office, you get hard labor, or hung. Problem solved. Representation justifies taxation in that case. What we got right now ? Bread and circuses. Just need a guy in a toga to play the violin to set the stage for Rome to burn. Decline and fall of the American empire.
When the president campaigned as being for "change", what he meant is that after he was finished f*cking things up & running his offense with Bush's playbook, all U would have left is "change".
The "change" in your pockets.
