Gee, ya think? "September Sees Record Gun Sales: Some see Democrats’ calls for executive action to restrict guns as cause."

And this was before Roseburg. Just keep running yo mouth, Barack. Just keep running yo mouth:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation processed a record number of background checks in the month of September, indicating that gun sales were at an all time high for the month. The FBI’s National Instant Background Check System processed 1,795,102 applications to buy a firearm in September. That represents a new record: 335,739 more checks than the previous September high set in 2012, or a 23 percent increase. . . September is the fifth month in a row to set a record for background checks. May, June, July, and August all produced record numbers. The summer of 2015 has seen the most gun sales on record.

Forwarded by a friend who commented:

I suspect total number of firearms to be much higher.... That number does not take into consideration; Multiple sales per NICS check, private sales, or sales to concealed carry holders in which the NICS check is waved. What? North of 2 million firearm sold last month?

From the perspective our glorious leader and his fine-feathered demonicratic fiends, there should be 1,795,102 casualties laying around due to these escaping their new owners’ hands and running about killing innocent criminals, right???

Let’s add to that the unknown guns bought during a single background check and the unknown number that were sold by private parties.

By their reasoning, there should be approximately 2.5 million dead people laying on the ground. Could they have possibly been wrong???

On a serious note; This is good news. Not that we should be compelled to arm ourselves to the teeth, but that we ARE armed to the teeth.

Bring it on, UNPD. You’re in for a “fun” ride… And bring lots of supplies; we’ll make good use of them.

And, just for fun n games, those “country patches” you wear on your sleeves -- they make excellent trading cards for the kiddies…; October 7, 2015 at 8:30 PM

They aren't there yet folks. They know what will happen when they do this and they're not ready to take the plunge just yet. They know what will happen if it goes sideways and the lose control of the pressure cap or worse yet the pressure valve.

When they do, most of them will be holding up inside the "Mordor on the potomac" green zone. The smarter one's of course will have their families prepositioned in new housing in far away lands and will join them there as circumstances require.

Which is why we have Navy SEALs, DELTA and the others capable of bag and drag operations.; October 7, 2015 at 8:45 PM

No phone call to ATF for CHL holders. So how many guns were really purchased in August? Mine did not make it into that official count. I'd be willing to bet that if you include the purchases by CHL holders and those multiple gun purchases, the number is probably more like 3.5 million for September.

I hope these sales numbers are making liberal sphincters clinch up.; October 7, 2015 at 10:53 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
