Interesting stats:

Guns bought this year could outfit 2 armies <<== Link to full article.

3.7 million background checks during first 3 months of 2009.

1,529,635,000 rounds of ammunition (yes BILLION) in just the month of December.

That explains a lot.

Woo Hoo! I'm a statistic! And a good statistic at that!

If I could I want to push that to 4 Armies!

The only part that pisses me off is that I can not buy military type stuff!

 

[JByer323]

Wow.

 

[Lucas156]

That is awesome. That is why this country rocks!

I hope that sends a message that people in this country don't take the 2A lightly, and if the right is threatened, have amble capability to resist.

We are still a small percentage of people compared to the pop as a whole. We still need to work on our 'reach out' skills and get new shooters interested. New blood will spurn the growth in the the generations to follow; that is what we want. We have lost too many already to the pop culture of rap ('stupid is cool'), Urbanitas ('subjects of the crown') and liberal oriented schooling ('think this way only').

Let's keep up the good work and continue to get new blood involved. The more that learn to take the 2A seriously, the more that will spread the word that it is a fundamental belief and not a 'privilege'.

I'd like to see 3.7 million solid 2A loving and voting AR-15/M1A owners that can wield the rifles with skill and humility, now THAT would be cause for a celebration.

We really need to become a nation of Riflemen again.

 

[VN Vet]

I agree with mettle, this is only a small part of the population. How many of us are counted multiple times since the first of the year? I know I have been counted many times this year.

We really need to become a nation of Riflemen again.

Some of us are sure trying to make that happen.

Blessings,

"Guns bought this year could outfit 2 armies"

Don't think for a minute we're the only ones who have noticed this...

that can wield the rifles with skill and humility

I surely hope the "skill and humility" part is not an obstacle to many of these new rifle owners.

"Keep this in mind...... Mr. President!!!!"

 

[Scutter01]

I'd say it's only enough for one army. I build big armies.

This is making the firearms industry rich. Great. Maybe then they will wield more power in the house and senate then.

Heck, I bought half of that.

"the people should not be afraid of the government, it is the government that needs to fear the people"

Watch V for Vendetta and you start to realize maybe the government being afraid of the people is a good thing.

Nope...the current administration will just tax them more so they can redistribute the profits to the anti-gun folks.

Good! This is the voice of the America I was born in!

Wonder how many armys you could outfit if you added in private sales...
