So some of you may have notice I haven't been running the NICS pool anymore. I got tired. So I stopped. But I
ran out to check them today The Year to Date totals have use running about 800,000 less NIC checks than last year, which maxed out at 21 Million. This could be due to the economy, the gun laws, the price of guns and ammo, or simply saturation.
However, they are still running FAR higher than they did in previous years. All this indicates is that we MAY have peaked and there may be a slight drop off, but not back to Bush year levels - but back to 2012 levels. But lets put this in perspective. Since Obama was elected in Nov 2008, there have been 96,616,034 NICs checks. NICS checks can multiple gun purchases on them, and are often used for CCW applications so not every one represents a purchased firearm However If 60% of themresulted in a gun sale, that means that 60 MILLION new firearms have been purchased over the last 6 years.
According to
wikipedia there are 20,734,808 active duty military, 38,158,415 reservists and 16,940,544 para-military troops IN THE WORLD. So yes, that 60% would buy a firearm for every single active and reserve military individual IN THE WORLD. If the number is higher - towards 80%, we could have armed the para-military forces as well. And the leftists think they can confiscate all of those weapons, and violate the constitutional using 2-3 Million troops and law enforcement?
