Now here is a story to grab some attention to the feelings of the American Public on their firearms rights.

65.4 Million Gun Purchases Since Obama Took Office, 91% More Than Bush's First-Term Total

There have been 65,376,373 background checks completed for Americans purchasing firearms since February of 2009, the first full month of Barack Obama's presidency.


Now those are some sale numbers! It's no wonder everything from magazines to ammo to firearms themselves are in back-order status 12+ months out after the last round of regulatory pushing.

For 2010, background checks totaled 14,320,489. In 2011, checks were 16,336,732, and in 2012, 19,463,832. Background checks for the month of January 2013 were 2,483,230.

This totals 65,376,373 background checks completed since President Obama's first full month in office, or 44,748 background checks per day!


However the vote may have gone in November? This vote has been running every day of every week since he took office. How does this stack up against historic precedent? Hmm... Lets see?

By comparison, the number of background checks in Obama's first term is 91.1% higher than President George W. Bush's first-term total of 34,214,066.

I'm thinking Obama and his allies making the most noise about regulating and registering every firearm have done far more to sell firearms among a population who haven't historically felt the need to buy so many than anything else could have.

2013 is off to a roaring start in breaking even these notable records. Buy 'em while you can, I'd say.

This number should make anyone complaining about Obama taking away their guns pretty damn silly.

You should also feel like a sucker if you have gone out and bought guns just because you thought Obama was going to take them away, because you fell for some slick marketing that played on your fear and paranoia from the gun industry.

Awesome to know that I added 2 guns to that number~ Ruger .40 and Mossberg 590 (Home Defense Objective Secured) If not the .223 that was grandfather'd in will do the trick And as it should always be, a fireproof safe to be a RESPONSIBLE firearm owner~

Way to arm your citizens Obama~!!! Best thing he's done as president!~ /clap (Singular)

Unless they are trying to boost gun sales, then make all the guns you just bought illegal and since you bought them at the gun store they have all ur info.. NOW then confiscate them from you and they get your guns plus they already got ur moneys

I always ALWAYS buy private, in texas if you buy private you have to do NOTHING but hand someone money and walk away with the gun.

IMO the suckers are those who think the police and the government is going to make them "safe".

1934,1968,1986,1994 2013 there is a historical precident, and there is no try about it considering the criminals,the police,the miltary are all better armed than the average gun owner.

The fact is the law abiding gun owner is the least armed group in this country because as per the op they actually follow the law.

Unlike those other 3.

I just saw your signature... this simple words you spoke make way to much sense... How easy would it be to curb gun violence if you illegally use a gun (not to defend yourself) but to rob or murder... Why not make it a crime punishable by death...

I promise you that MANY people will think twice about picking up a gun to do something illegal if they are putting their life on the line for a few bucks.
