And I don't know if I should be happy or sad.

High Praise with extra bonus Praise for being  right before the election is always a joyous occasion!
Predator Don wins super duper Bonus High praise for his guess of 1762423, being under by 244496.  Yes, the number was 2,006,919 , a 30% Year over Year increase.  total for the year has now exceeded last year  at 16,808,538..  Last Year's December number was 1,862,327-- who is up for guessing the Yearly total?

I got confused - was the contest to guess the number of new NICS checks or new jobless claims? Either way it doesn't say much for stymie and his band of bozos.

The trick of boiling the frog is to do it slow enough that he doesn't realize it's happening.  Does he have enough time to do this with the bitter clingers?

My fellow Americans, I take no pleasure UNDERESTIMATING the destructive force called obamanomics. Fortunately for us, the Mayans did not create a calender predicting our demise but it was a crude calculator. So be of good cheer, the end is near.

In case we are still alive come December 31st and I can afford my internet connection....My prediction:

1,862,327 x 1.36 = 2,532,764 + 144,592 = TOTAL ESTIMATE 2,821,948

Yes, 36% growth plus the difference between my November estimate and the actual number.

With ammo sales at what they are.....I'm probably still underestimating.

Heh, I was thinking about it this morning.

How many more can be bought?  Even though articles say it's standing room only at gun shows my number is a low ball, 250,000.

Ongoing strategic execution of their plan? Sorry smith and Wesson, but no planning on your part can compare to the salesmanship of Barack Obama.

We have our last one of the year in Bloomington 29th & 30th. I might have to stop in.   ;D

I'm guessing the gun shops are currently in the process of running out of AR-15s and similar weapons, and particularly accessories and ammo.

I've been thinking seriously about bolstering everything, as well as buying some kind of tactical shotgun. The Remington 870 is a fine weapon, but I want something for indoor home defense.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

What could be better than an 870? I mean it's a toss-up between it and the Mossberg 500 but those two are the 2 most serviceable 12-gauge shotguns that I know of. To the point that I would reach for my 870 before I did my Saiga or my 1100.
