EveryTown, USA - -(AmmoLand.com)- In just 3 months Americans bought enough guns to outfit the entire Chinese and Indian army’s combined.
You also bought 1,529,635,000 rounds of ammunition in just the month of December 2008. Yeah that is right, that is Billion with a “B”.
This is an evaluation of overall firearms and ammunition purchases based on low end numbers per Federal. The numbers presented are only PART of the overall numbers of arms and ammunition that have been sold. The actual numbers are much higher.






So for the last 3 months people have been voting with their wallets to the tune of over 1 million weapons per month. What's wrong with this picture, Obama is the man.

we are ripe for a federal gun grab. i really like the states movement to defend their weapons rights. i think a state militia would be a great idea right about now. rugged individualism does not work --unity works. fight to remain armed.

But if gun violence skyrockets, like I anticipate, it will somehow be blamed on the Obama administration for considering gun registration.

Awesome. No wonder no foreign power has invaded the US since the War of 1812.

Of course two oceans wouldn't have anything to do with that...

The rise on gun sales has nothing to do with the rise in unemployment and crime (Thanks W)
