Title: NICS Checks update
Post by: Weisshaupt on November 07, 2014, 07:58:35 AM
Current Stats (http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/nics/reports/total-nics-checks-nov.-30-1998-october-31-2014)

This might be the first year since Obama was elected where the TOTAL NICs checks will be less than the previous year - but not by much.  It will still be pretty close to 20 Million. Just not 21 million.

105,502,494 NICS checks since Obama was elected.   Yeah in the last 6 years,  1/3 of the country has either sought to buy at least one gun or a Concealed Carry.

Yep. Any decrease in NICS stats now is simply because everyone even remotely inclined to wanting a gun has already bought one.  Or several.  The AR-15 in particular has been made in the tens of millions.  It's the most popular firearm in America.

I was always more of an AK guy, but I have recently embraced the AR.  I barely had my new Colt for 2 days before I was already ordering parts to do a home build.  They're rather addictive.

It's still going to be the second highest year on record, but I'll bet some people (foolishly feeling a) false sense of security (or less fearful sense of insecurity) now that Pubbies won the Senate, will result in 2015 probably reverting to 2006 levels.

I doubt it. We are going to see no significant changes.. there are still states where unconstitutional gun laws are being passed, and the economics aren't changing. There are  going to be more Fergusons -- and some subset of the population is aware of that.  It may fall, but probably not back to a 2006 level.

I think it may level out a bit,  but hopefully it will never go back down.   Slowly people are waking up.   

And for folks like me,  I still have to get something yet.    When I was still working,  I didn't get my Indiana concealed carry,  due to my closeness to the border of the people's republic of Illinois.   I didn't want to risk forgetting I was carrying and cross into Illinois by mistake.    And frankly,  the neighborhoods on the Illinois side are the reason why I would want to carry to begin with.  The south side of Chicago is far more dangerous then even Gary. 

Since Illinois has been forced to allow concealed now,  its finally legal to carry.   However Illinois doesn't recognize Indiana's carry permits.   Someone I know is now suing Illinois over that.  He is a firearms instructor who has to teach his Illinois students,,,, in Indiana.......... So they are still blocking most out of state people yet. 

So I will probably get something after I get working again and Illinois is forced to allow more out of state permits.

The FBI’s December figures show 2.3 million background checks for gun purchasers were conducted in one month alone.

That is an increase of nearly 300,000 from the number of background checks conducted in December 2013.

Breitbart News previously reported that on Black Friday alone there were nearly three background checks conducted every second. A strong December was expected.

CNN Money reports that the 2.3 million background checks for December were considerably higher than the number of background checks for other months in 2014. For example, there were 1.4 million conducted in July and 1.5 million conducted in August. This was topped by 1.6 million in October and 1.8 million in November.

So you can say its leveling off.. but its stil really, really high and not really declining.

Post by: Weisshaupt on February 04, 2015, 12:39:23 PM
So NICS checks in January proceeded at a brisk pace  (http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/nics/reports/nics_firearm_checks_-_month_year.pdf) -1,772,794 - the second highest on record  for January. (highest was 2,495,440 in Jan 2013)  and Washington State accounted for 38,018 of those  (http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/nics/reports/nics_firearm_checks_-_month_year_by_state.pdf) if you want to suspect the inane new laws there as contributing.

Meanwhile the FBI redesigned its site a bit and there is a  new report ( or one I just hadn't seen before)  showing the effectiveness of the NICS system (http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/nics/reports/federal_denials.pdf)

There have been 1,173,964 denials  - since 1998 - our of 204,309,316 checks, or about 0.6%
So apparently there aren't all that many criminals dumb enough to try and buy a gun legally.  IN fact only 786415 of these were denied because they were convicted criminals or fugitives. A further  113,479  were because of a MISDEMEANOR Domestic Violence conviction. Another 100,000 for Drug Possession - 50,000 for a Protection or Restraining order ( which requires no proof or day in court)

So Yeah. Go TEAM NICS.

Sort of shows how unnecessary such a list of gun owners is.   This list is not in the best interest of the citizens of the US,  and frankly shouldn't be allowed.  Fails the constitutional test too (not that government types give a s**t about that anymore). 

If anything the only list that should exist is those who cannot own,  due to some types of convictions, mental illnesses  etc.   And many convictions should not preclude gun ownership either,  so even that list is too big.  Wouldn't need a waiting period either,  your not on the list,  here is your purchase.

In theory all approved requests are deleted within 24 hours, and in theory they are only checking those requests against a list like you describe.
But I think, given the NSA spying and other programs, and what happened in Canada,  it is naive to think the government isn't retaining the information for every single request made.

Another interesting trend in that graph is that not only have the absolute numbers gone up dramatically, but look at the proportion of handguns to rifles and shotguns.  That's the CCW trend right there.  Go back 10-15 years and more rifles are made than handguns.  But after the early '00s, handguns took over as the leading type of firearm.

I love it.  All of these firearms in the hands of private citizens nationwide.  There's no putting that genie back in the bottle for the grabbers. Every draconian proposal just increases the sales further, and even if they did get their way with new gun control, look at how many are already out there. They've lost this battle in the Culture War, and it's one of the few areas that give me a little flame of optimism.

For sure.  I just love how they churn out these polls in an effort to influence public opinion.  They're so detached from reality.  So let's see, record levels of NICS checks for several years in a row, but oh, gun ownership is declining!  Even as other polls show public support for gun ownership at highest levels ever.  Even as other stats show women the most enthusiastic new demographic among gun owners.

But yeah, gun ownership is declining says the AP.  Uh-huh.

Another million and a half in June...business remains steady...

Looks to be on pace for about the same level as last year, which was just a slight dip from the high of 2013.

If we simply get the same Year over Year  numbers till December there will be 20,985,067 NICS checks this year... making it the third year in a row for over 20 million and almost exceeding the top of 21 million set in 2013

And since May the year over year totals have been up by 200,000 or so every month.. ( gee I wonder if the Ferals had anything to do with it?)  and I suspect with the recent stock market crash, and growing unrest in the Middle East, and the continually worsening border situation and obvious persecution of Christians in the United States, I am betting you are going to see a new record, something closer to 21.5 Million.  I guess its good more people are waking up - I just hope its not any libtards.

September Sees Record Gun Sales (http://freebeacon.com/issues/september-sees-record-gun-sales/)


Quote
Some see Democrats’ calls for executive action to restrict guns as cause

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.

The number of checks done in a particular month is considered a reliable gauge of how many gun sales have occurred since background checks are required on all sales made through licensed firearms dealers. The actual number of sales is likely higher since multiple firearms can be sold to the same person by a dealer under a single background check. The numbers also do not account for sales between private parties that do not require a background check.

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.

The summer has also seen an increase in calls from some Democratic presidential candidates, including frontrunner Hillary Clinton, for new gun control laws. Clinton has said she would use executive orders to implement certain forms of gun control.

The Second Amendment Foundation said Democratic efforts to impose new gun control measures were fueling the sales increases. “We are seeing new record highs in gun sales due to the increased anti-gun rhetoric from Democratic candidates like Hillary Clinton,” said Alan Gottlieb, the group’s founder. “Their push for new restrictions on gun ownership is fueling gun sales.”

“If they really want less guns in private hands they should consider what happens every time they open their mouths.”

September Sees Record Gun Sales (http://freebeacon.com/issues/september-sees-record-gun-sales/)

Well, the Left is never too interested in the actual consequences of their actions-- they got what they wanted as soon as they said they wanted to ban guns... thus sending the moral signal that they are better and superior. They got their ego stroke, so they don't really care if that ego stroke resulted in more of the problem than existed before. Its probably actually a bonus, because the longer they have a problem to feel superior about the more ego strokes they can get off of it.

Meanwhile I am betting on 21.5 -22 Million checks for the year, setting a new record.

Perhaps TPTB   really aren't considering a house to house confiscation anytime soon - and really have no plans at all to actually initiate a police state- just enrich themselves as much as possible before the collapse and then disappear. .  Or it could simply be that they plan on using chemical /biological WMDs to wipe us out so they really don't care  if we are well armed or not. (They have the cure, come to the concentration camp to be processed or die where you are. We don't care..) Or maybe they know the Grey Aliens are coming to exterminate  us in their war against the Reptilians (or vice versa) and want us as well armed as possible without causing a panic. ( Maybe I should visit beforeitsnews less often...?)  They certainly  don't seem to care or are powerless to stop the massive armament and stockpiling of munitions that continues to this day.  Why else would he mention doing bans similar to the UK and Australia when they are obviously unconstitutional ( and even if they weren't would be considered so  by a troublesome percentage of the population)  - Maybe Obama and other prominent Dems are just getting rich off of Gun and Ammo stocks? Do they run Gun shop side businesses? I can't imagine they are oblivious to the bumps they give the numbers each time.  They don't care for one reason or another, and I don't think its because they are so stupid as to think that if they did get their laws they would get obedience. Its probably moe of Obama's punk attitude and policy of gaslighting than anything else I suspect.

I think this last round of hysterical anti-gun rhetoric is going to make October strong and we haven't even got to the SCoaMF's exploitation in Oregon yet (he is expected to invade those poor people's space tomorrow) so October should be strong, November probably be pretty good and December is always a popular time and with Congress in recess that would be the perfect time for the Tyrant to issue decrees and make sure holiday sales come in strong.  A record year is virtually guaranteed.

1,976,559 NICs checks for October. up from 1,603,469 last year.  17,584,346 this year so far.   If we just duplicate last year's Nov and December that will be 21.7 Million NICs checks this year, setting a new record.

And the number for November is 2,243,043 - 5th highest month on record.  19.8 Million for the year so far.

If December merely mirrors last year,  it will come out to 22.1 Million checks this year, beating the old record by a cool million.

And with this fun new shooting in a "gun free zone"  by probable Obama imported ISIS militants is only going to drive sales further, especially as Obama will be out pushing Gun control again in the next 5 minutes or so - even as he gives more weapons to ISIS in Syria



But remember - the Recovery is in full swing and everything is awesome!

This was on my local news tonight:

http://www.wsoctv.com/videos/news/gun-sales-skyrocket-after-recent-attacks-mass/vDfzMd/ (http://www.wsoctv.com/videos/news/gun-sales-skyrocket-after-recent-attacks-mass/vDfzMd/)

The shop mentioned in this article is the biggest gun store in the country.


Quote
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Just hours after this week's mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, the White House called for tighter gun control measures.

Since then, local experts told Channel 9, guns have been flying off the shelves.


Shops like Hyatt Coin and Gun have been very busy. Business picked up immediately after last month's Paris terror attack.

Black Friday was the biggest day ever for federal background checks.

Shop owner Larry Hyatt told Channel 9 that he has been very busy recently.

The shop normally gets busier this time of year because of hunting, but more people are buying guns now for self-protection, he said.

He said he believes that the terror attacks and mass shootings are the reasons behind it.

“Those few seconds those terrorists have they can wreak havoc, or some of these crazed mass shooters. So everyone is very concerned, in addition to all the other crime going in on the country,” Hyatt said.

Hyatt showed Channel 9 how many sales the shop is making. At 5 p.m., learn more about the training that gun shop employees undergo to try to make sure guns don’t end up in the wrong hands.

I haven't been out shopping for a while...I do feel bad about that...I might have to remedy that. 

Judging by GunBot prices and availability, it looks like the spike hasn't hit ammo yet, but it will.  Price per round is still somewhat elevated for .556 M855, .22LR can be had but CCI MiniMag remains elusive, plenty of AK rounds...I might have to go that flavor soon...in pistol rounds most flavors seem available with varying degrees of price ranges.  But you can bet the runnup in gun purchases is going to hit ammo again, and real soon.  You want some you better get some now.

Oh, and I hope no Vegans are NOT buying guns...those folks are unstable as Pakistani brides (http://itsaboutliberty.com/index.php?topic=13822.new#new).

I've also been wondering...if it would be a good idea to get a FFL?  Have to think about that some more.

Always operated on the assumption these fascist progs were keeping a list...they still have to come and try to pry the few I might have dry out of my cold dead hands...if they get that far.

And with Gun Salesman of the Decade adding more and more to the list...wtf good is it going to do them?  As soon as any confiscation starts the jig is up and it's full-blown civil war.

So one can only conclude these crazy bastards want BITS.

Oh, and BTW...before Obama wants to start confiscating and banning...perhaps he should try to clean up his Fedcoat sh*t first!

 We have a large gun and knife show in Nashville every month. The city, in an attempt to keep us safe, will no longer lease the fairgrounds building for the purpose of gun shows. Now, I go to this a lot...never felt threatened. I'm sure they will find a different venue but the "assault" on firearms is in full swing.

Also took around 90 minutes to get my background check. Normally done in a few minutes. Black Friday was hot....lol

I recall from previous Black Fridays it never took more than 40-45 minutes.  Volume is increasing.

For a fairly blue state...we have a lot of shows...many in the cities at armories or the fairgrounds, several in surrounding towns...probably 6-8/year.

Haven't been to one of those in a long time, but the Obama-effect was such that just trying to get in, work an aisle and seriously scope out stuff was difficult at best.

Need a bigger venue!

Why do you say that? The only reason they haven't been used is because no one has tried to take them -- yet.. and at some point they will try to take them.
And even if they don't , the fall of the government and lack of police protection incident to the dollar collapse and economic depression to follow will ensure they get used.

They'll try to take them, but it's not going to be teams of SWAT busting down doors of everyone on a list.  They will give a generous amnesty period to turn them in, maybe even offering decent money, and those who fail to comply will be dealt with by indirect means -- a lien on your property, taking your tax refunds, etc.  Make it arduous to participate in the official economy.  They might snatch you if they have reason to detain you for some other pretense, a traffic stop for example.  They'll avoid the spectacle of house to house raiding parties.  After a while the violators will have no moral support either, "Well man, it's the law and if you want to change it we have a process for that.  It's your own fault if you didn't take them up on the buyback when you had the chance."  You can already see this among gun owners in places like California.

I don't think so. Even in Blue Connecticut and New York  people are refusing  to comply- and the Libtards have been too chicken to press it - one way or the other. Sure they can make up other infractions etc, but they are going to do that anyway, and you will be targeted because you are conservative, not because you own a gun.

If what you suggest becomes widespread, it would only be  a matter of time before conservatives simply shoot any cop who is on their property for any reason.

Because they came to YOUR house and intended to do harm to you and your family?  It wouldn't take many cases before the real police refuse to help enforce stupid laws and false charges based on political affiliation , and the thug police decide its not worth the money.

Hopefully you are right.  That was one of my pessimistic days.  I am so often disappointed in other Americans.  I do also fear the possibility of having to live up to our promises, of bleeding out in our driveways.  I sometimes wonder what goes through the minds of people who commit acts of self-sacrifice -- do they step outside of themselves and become observers to their own actions?

I think yes. The few times I've been in physical altercations that is what happened to me -- a sense of stepping outside, time becoming imperceptible, then looking at my bloody knuckles.  It's not something I enjoyed even when I got the better of the deal, and I hate them for pushing pushing pushing us into that corner. I don't think most of them have the slightest idea of what personal violence is like.

I don't know. Maybe when push comes to shove I will chicken out. But I don't think so. I have thought long and hard about this, so when the time comes I think I will recognize it, and I am sure it is the right thing to do. Will I see it from the outside?  Maybe. I have run it over and over so many times in my head, that I think it will largely just be "do it as we practiced it" - no emotion, just the cold resignation that the hour to do it has arrived.

I don't think of it as self sacrifice.  I think of it only as  doing what is necessary given the corner they are backing us into. I simply think- do I want my children subjected to this? And someday Grandchildren? If I fail to step up and do my DUTY  to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security, how can I face myself in the mirror? Is that a world I even want to be alive to see day after day? If no one resists it will continue, so I MUST resist - even if I am the only one who does.  I hope I  am not the only one , but even if I knew my act would be solitary and largely pointless, I would still do it. I would rather commit suicide by cop than knuckle under o these fascists.  If I take just one with me I will have done my duty.

Just remember that only 3%  fought in the revolutionary war.. only 3 in every hundred people you know could even be expected to resist, and if each takes just one,  they won't be able to keep up with the attrition.  I am betting they will just keep kicking the can though. Make an example of someone here or there ( and if it is me then people will be killed) but I don't see them trying to play Nazis and Jews with us while we are armed, and I don't see them effectively disarming us.  The worst they can do is force us to buy ammo on the black market, and the dare not interfere with that either.

I suspect they will just keep kicking the can till the dollar is lost, and their power evaporates.

Indefinitely kicking the can, in some ways, troubles me more than outright confrontation with them.  We have to be able to transmit both the mindset of independence as well as its necessary implements (arms) to future generations. If they force us into a situation where we never dare let our arms see daylight, they will win when we age out.

I suspect you are right though that they won't be able to kick the can indefinitely. And if they do manage to kick it for a long time, our side will have to pick a fight in my opinion. Their design is tyranny. If they don't fully unveil it on us, they're going to on our descendants.

I know most of the police in my area. They are in my business daily. My brother is a detective. I've asked several, if ordered, would they go to a home for the sole purpose to disarm or collect weapons. I can't find too many willing to do it. Maybe my area is the exception, I don't know....But my gut tells me most officers won't go there.

After a while the violators will have no moral support either, "Well man, it's the law and if you want to change it we have a process for that.  It's your own fault if you didn't take them up on the buyback when you had the chance."  You can already see this among gun owners in places like California.

I don't think so. Even in Blue Connecticut and New York  people are refusing  to comply- and the Libtards have been too chicken to press it - one way or the other. Sure they can make up other infractions etc, but they are going to do that anyway, and you will be targeted because you are conservative, not because you own a gun.

If what you suggest becomes widespread, it would only be  a matter of time before conservatives simply shoot any cop who is on their property for any reason. After all,  are you willing to spend  years in jail on some made up bs charge, or are you going to do it for killing a thug with a badge?? Maybe two or three. Because they came to YOUR house and intended to do harm to you and your family?  It wouldn't take many cases before the real police refuse to help enforce stupid laws and false charges based on political affiliation , and the thug police decide its not worth the money.

For the time being I think this is part of their strategy...by not enforcing it they will make the assertion that it is "there only to be acted upon when needed", the so-called "emergency" left to their own definition of course, despite the language used at creation...they will then spin it as harmless when it is brought forward in other jurisdictions...then when it is widespread the confiscation can begin...and Order 66.

I'd like to think rural LEO's and most sheriff's and troopers are like don's friend's...but I am counting on most of them being more concerned about protecting their own families than executing the orders of statists...so what's left behind to do the dirty work of tyranny I won't lose any sleep over when they come calling and I answer.  I'm kinda like G in that I hate them for pushing me into a corner...but any reluctance to do what must be done is rapidly evaporating with each idiot I see who at present is willing and comfortable in executing the will of the tyrants now.

If they force us into a situation where we never dare let our arms see daylight, they will win when we age out.

I understand the danger.. eventually we might see a culture of bribery set in - like they have in Mexico.. where the cop comes up to you and says "Hey, give me $1000  and this BS charge will go away..."  and rather than go down dying in their driveway they just pay the money.  It just depends on how many police will offer that route and how many patriots will take them up on it.

But we won't have to pick the fight. It won't necessarily be guns.  If that cake thing happened to me I would be figuring out a way to punish that judge, attorneys and any officers who had helped bring the charge. You ruined  my life and business over a cake?  Fine.

Then I have no choice but to send a very clear message that some people aren't going to stand for it and you will pay for it personally... even if the only way to get to you is through your family members.  It wouldn't be my first choice, and for a while that was off the table, but I got over it. This is war.

That may be what they hope to accomplish, and if they had the next 30-50 years of relative prosperity and peace to continue corroding our culture that might work, and these unenforceable laws may become accepted as the "new normal" -- but they are unenforceable now because people are refusing to accept them as normal.  Even an attempt to make an example of someone under these lays will probably be met with an insurrection- Battle of Athens Style. Only tins time the you free the accused man, and probably kill any LE or offical that attempts to stop you.

These laws will never be accepted as "normal" or legitimate by patriots. And if I am  the last patriot, so be it.

I'm a United States Army veteran, first as a thought exercise, this article is just false as hell, it assumes significant differences in military doctrine than what actually exists.

First, the military is NOT trained to handle a armed insurrection, nor police a state, this is why the OIF and OEF lasted for a DECADE after defeating the conventional troops within each nation in only a matter of days, and even after such long standing conflict.Next you have to include collateral damage and the ill affects it would have, we already feel the aftershocks of collateral damage in conflicts half the word away against persons that are not relatable to, what happens when the collateral damage happens to have family the next county over? and they have friends spread all though out the states? what happens when a military strike to "dismantle a checkpoint" results in those people at the checkpoint, along with AMERICAN civilians dead as collateral damage...and such incident is recorded LIVE, and broadcaster over social media?

the biggest weakness of this whole article is that it fails to recognize the potential power of a networked populace that we have no a days, and the ARMED suppression of a armed rebellion by a government force just ISN'T possible anymore, because for every rebel you put down, two more will rise, which is EXACTLY what we saw with Al-Qaeda and ISIS.

And before you start jumping the horse, i do not support a armed rebellion, but i see it as a possibility, one of many, and armed suppression of such a event simply will not work, the ONLY way to suppress it would be PEACEFUL resolution, or you end up with Kent state but on a larger scale.

Understand that warfare in the middle east has a way of inflicting heavy casualties on US forces and that is guerilla and unconventional warfare. Don't you think a majority of these nut jobs, as you say, are perhaps former military? Because I have over 30 years in the Army. Its not like one or two people would execute a rebellion. Multiple, small units executing unconventional warfare could wreak serious issues for the military. Also if the country was bad enough for people to do this then the actions of one group doing this would embolden others to follow. Lastly, I wouldn't attack a M1A2 with just a rifle.

Not to mention, if any actual revolt were widespread, our enemies in the world would strike while we were divided. Then you'd really get to see what real oppression is... not the petty political bickering we have here. Either way, America would be destroyed. You can't "save" it by taking arms against it, and those who think they can are flat-out traitors, not patriots. The majority rules here, by the ballot box... not by extremist thugs with guns.

If and when the producers in this country decide the tyranny of Obama, Hillary and their ilk have finally crossed the line, it will not be a second American revolution, but something more akin to the French revolution. That's why leftists are so afraid. That's why they do their best to defang and enfeeble society whenever they have the reins of power. In such an instance, the military will not side with the government. Especially not the government as it is presently comprised. I am a former Marine Officer. The military leadership would overwhelmingly be on the side of the people, and not the leftist leadership. "Red diaper doper babies" don't join the military. Obama has done his best to purge the generals who are capable and patriotic and replace them with leftist lick-spittles. They would be the first casualties of any conflict. The elitists know this.

Seizing the reins of the present government would be pointless, as the present government is the problem, and replicating it with a different name would conflict with the political goal.

To be successful, all the rebels need do, is paralyze what they protest. Prevent the execution of the type of government action the rebels want to stop.

They need not govern by controlling territory, but could prevent others from controlling.

benjamin franklin employed these tactics when he had shot at long range both of the successive generals who were to take command of the rebellious american colonies mere minutes after they were given the task by king george..on english soil. he also had sabotaged the london docks and started a fire that burned half of the city down.

fighting american rebels would be like fighting smoke on a misty morning. even if you could find us...you would have few ways to touch us without angering the population as a whole. but we have long-range rifles, and we pick the time and place to use them.

Point being - there are a lot of people who are preparing - mentally -  for this fight to come.  The leftist responses are telling. Ranging from "You will get your asses kicked by other people - not me",  to "I am a coward,and I would run in that situation so I am sure you will too", to the solid belief that they "make up a majority" and therefore can break the rules and  trample the rights of others, and aren't you such a "deplorable person for not submitting"  You will note that no where do they EVER address the arguments made. All they have is denial, umbrage and, as a last resort, a half hearted attempt at moral superiority when they realize that yes,  we really are going to kill every last frigging one of them if it comes to it.

They are pathetic.  And the first large scale uprising, they will all be in that last "But we are the majority, you have to do what we say" mode, right before they are taken out.

If these leftist tools had any sense at all they would 1) STFU and not call attention to themselves 2) listen to what former military people are saying and fully understand what they are saying and 3) not piss us off.

Of course they fail on all counts...as Pan notes a country is people and a government was meant only to act in accordance of the will of the people.  What say have we the people had in Obama forcing jihadists into our midst?  None.  What say have we the people had in refusing to enforce our laws and secure our border?  None.  What say have we the people over the dictates of unelected bureaucrats?  None. What say have we the people had in a dead-of-night corrupt bargain deemed law by robed idiots under political pressure from the Executive?  None.  What say do we the people have in getting Congress to take its oath seriously and stop Executive lawlessness?  None.  Nobody in government is answering us, none in government is taking us seriously, nobody in government cares about anything but staying in government, period.  This is tyranny.  This is what the Founders fought against.  This is what leftists want others to accept as fact.  Like the Founders if the tyrants leave no other option and refuse to return to basic principles and honor the rights bestowed unto us by God...then like the Founders we will fight and we will kill...and tyranny will lose.

I probably wouldn't have as much seething enmity for Blue State lefties if they would have confined their lunacy to New England.

Idiots.  Why not follow through?

 ::facepalm::

Yeah, I am sure gun sales won't be as high during a trump Presidency, unless libtards get a clue and start buying them. Besides, until the electoral college votes - and the liberals have unleashed a full harassment campaign against them -  I won't say Trump secured the Presidency.

One thing I have noticed -- once a girl fires a gun she finds  she likes it, and then she is unwilling to date any wimps who are afraid of them.

Oh good, the NICS number will continue to climb, only now its the other side arming themselves.

Quote
"You feel that racists now feel like they can attack us just because the president is doing it," Earl Curtis, the owner of Blue Ridge Arsenal in Chantilly, Virginia, told NBC News.

    Gun store owners told NBC News that since November 8 they're seeing up to four times as many black and minority customers — and black gun groups are reporting double the normal number of attendees at their meetings since the election.

You mean like how black people felt it was safe to play the "knock out game"  and kill cops when Obama was in charge? Yeah, I get that you might be scared some folks might be looking for a little payback. But that is what it is - payback. Make no mistake who started this war - Obama and his race baiting crap.

I do agree with the author however, tat ultimately, this is good news.  Once they have a gun, and go to a range, and they find out those good ol boys there have no intention of lynching them, that the NRA was founded in part to arm blacks, and that the Dems do want to disarm them , we may be getting a whole lotta recruits to our side. Guns are the best antidote to liberalism that exists.

The way I see it if you're not actively assessing everyone you encounter as a possible armed opponent you're not practicing situational awareness. The fact that more minorities are arming means little.

27,538,673 for the year.  December came in at 2,771,159  far less than last years 3,314,594 and on par with 2012's   2,783,765

It will be interesting to see how many liberals suddenly realize they are scared of their government and decide the 2nd amendment was a good idea. I think once you are forced to take that step it will put them on a road where they have to conclude that giving th government more power isn't always the best idea. I can only hope  Trump drives the point home and uses the IRS, EPA and other agencies as weapons against the democrats for once. I mean wouldn't it be fun to find environmental problems at every one of the sites run  by environmentalists?  Keep Clinton, Soros and Pals busy with an Audit and bank freezes. Petty and vindictive?

Gun Sales Crash...

(http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user51698/imageroot/2016/06/27/20160627_obamagunsaleshistorical_0.JPG)

See the Crash? No?

The NICS checks data isn't a one for one map of gun sales, but over that same period, what do we see?

(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c341/weisshaupt/NICScecks_zpsurheblau.jpg)

And they are expecting a 10-15% drop?  Sure.  And so far that data bears that out.. but the numbers are still over 3 times the Bush Year baseline and the trend is still upward.
Title: Re: NICS Checks update
Post by: Libertas on March 15, 2017, 06:52:54 AM
Red sky in morning, sailor take warning...

OMG, sales are declining!

 ::ohno::

Of course they are...people we're hedging against B Hussein O and the Merry Band of Gun-Grabbing DemoFascists taking their rights away...and it wasn't an unjustified concern.  Like reading any chart, take the spikes out of play and the overall trend is still up.  Duh, it's a math thing...and most manufacturers added more capacity and workers to meet the increasing demand, now the demand is slacking off and to what level we do not yet know...but if the average plant had 200 workers pre-Obama and added 200 more then contracted and let 120 go they are still 80 more than when they started...and idiots bitch?

Lets look at these fricken idiots a minute...

First, they are ungrateful for the net jobs added...one could assume they must have been ecstatic over the 80+ million just arbitrarily purged from the labor force as unnecessary by the Obama Admin as they would otherwise make the already over-cooked U-3 numbers looks significantly worse.

Second, what have these a-holes like Mayor Leonard done to foster a more hospitable Second Amendment environment?  Is he a part of Bloomie's Legion of DemoNazi gun-haters?  Is he actively combating the the Blooming Fascists?  What is he doing in his own state to make the environment of Liberty better?

Third, stock analysts like this Hardiman at Wedbush perpetuate overblown myths and incentivize perverse behavior...sure declining sales in the short term, but to pin this on a "Republican" in the White House is a gross overreaction that hides the more import issue of "who caused the big runnup to begin with and why?" (and i would throw in a snarky "stupid fothermucker" at the end of that just because...well, because!).  And, spreading the excrement that the threat is gone is a whale of a lie!  The Blooming Nazis are still out there, the DemoFascist pols are still out there, the Goebbels media is still out there, the proglodyte special interests are still out there and that terrorist bagman Soros is still out there giving millions to all of them!  Think they quit or are just quietly bidding their time?  This stupid SOB Hardiman does, but he's a fricken stock monkey, he just cares about short term impact, period.  Check back in year or two, see what this ape says...could be 180 degrees different.

Fourth, echoing the above theme...like I said in the Interesting Manufacturing Statistics thread - Now things are slacking off, which may be good for buying opportunities for weapons and ammo...I do not agree that a slacking off is wise...people shouldn't be feeling secure now...we a re still a heartbeat away from God-knows-what... (http://itsaboutliberty.com/index.php?topic=15123.0)

Stuff can change fast, the threats are nowhere near gone, keep your powder dry and well stocked!   ;)

Down about 200K from last year.. but since last year was an all time high and the Socialist Traitor is no longer in charge, are we surprised? Its still almost 2 Million.  IN the Bush years that number was 500,000

https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/nics_firearm_checks_-_month_year.pdf/view (https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/nics_firearm_checks_-_month_year.pdf/view)

Well, they were down pretty hard in July. And beat last August, and still topped 20 Million so far this year.
If Nov and December just track last years numbers - or even fall short by 500,000  each month, 2016 will be the ONLY year that total NICs checks were Higher than the first year of Trump's presidency.

Now maybe libtards are finally arming up. But you know they won't learn ow to use them.. but I suspect that the real reason there is not a significant drop is because no one feels like Trump was or is the solution, and they continue to prepare for the inevitable.

The numbers eclipse all of 2019.  The highest increase is among black men and women, 58.2%. 

Can you blame them? 

The wanton violence that has plagued Democrat-run cities like Minneapolis, Portland, Chicago (homicides up 139%),  New York (13% increase in shooting incidents, 23% increase in homicides), Seattle, D.C., Los Angeles, Atlanta, etc. over the past several months with the blessings of the Democrat governors and mayors that run them has taught law-abiding blacks that the police are being driven from these cities, betrayed by the elected leaders charged with enforcing the law.  Violent crime has spiked in all those places.  And to this day, no Democrat has spoken out against Antifa or Black Lives Matter, or the catastrophic damage they have wrought upon those communities, apparently in the mistaken belief that a majority of Americans are sympathetic to the specious causes of the vandals.  The massive increase in gun sales would seem to belie that tenet. 

While it has long been mostly republicans who support gun rights and the NRA, the enormous expansion of gun ownership most certainly includes former Democrats who will not likely vote for Biden/Harris, both of whom favor confiscation like the rest of the left.  For that reason and for her other past prosecutorial policies, not all blacks support Harris.  So it is safe to conclude that the colossal increase in gun sales is perhaps the most telling poll of all.  Guns and ammo are expensive and these numbers represent legal sales and do not account for the illegal acquisitions of guns.  Bottom line?  People no longer  feel safe in their own communities and they are seeing the police they respect and rely upon be demeaned, defunded and directed to stand down while rioters and looters destroy their small businesses and downtowns.  And through all this monstrous violence,  the democrats insist on calling the vandals “peaceful protesters.” They are anything but peaceful.  They are well-funded fascist groups who mean to destroy the United States as founded. The death of George Floyd was the spark that lit the fires, covid19 the gift that has kept on giving to those working hard to sabotage our great nation.

The rise in gun ownership has spiked more than any previous time period and is the highest since the FBI began recording the statistics 22 years ago.

he astronomical surge in gun ownership these past months tells us that no, they will not vote to lose their Second Amendment right.  Self-defense is a human right. 

    “The right of self-defense never ceases.  It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to individuals.“ --James Monroe 

The left, thoroughly deranged by Trump’s 2016 victory, will gladly see our once civil society destroyed if its destruction will see Trump defeated.  Their plan is doomed to failure.   If gun sales translate to votes, it will ensure his re-election.

Well, given this data and the blowback on C-19 overreach, the buffoonish antics of DemCom's from the Federal Swamp to State and City Swamps...yeah...the result should be a Reagan-like thrashing of Trump/Pence over Biden/Harris...but then again there is now and will be gargantuan levels of fraud and cheating perpetrated by DemCom's.

I cannot confirm or deny participation...

On a related note...dang ice-fish-shooting accidents!   ::facepalm::

Now, if ammo ever becomes available again for citizens...?

You see dudes running manufacturing outfits like (name withheld to protect the innocent and guilty) doing videos saying there is no shortage, they are not diverting civilian market to LEOs and military, yadda yadda yadda...

Yet once plentiful warehouses and store shelves look like Soviet shelves...so who ya gonna believe, these protestations by manufacturers or your lying eyes? 

Perhaps they are partially correct though.

I know for a fact the local outfit continues to run 3 shifts and has been since Marxist Barry...but I think a lot of favoritism and backdoor buddy network is peeling off a good share...tell me I am wrong?  What does hit shelves flies off...as people usually scope out local delivery schedules to get a piece...

But it does seem like We the People are being treated like peasants in pre-revolution France...and taking it way too casually.

While I can appreciate the joke about "fishing accidents", I do not identify with it.

I'm old. Everyone and now everything I loved is dead. I have no reason to be coy about it, and I'm not afraid to die. I'm not rash, but I just don't give a sh*t.

I have plenty of guns and plenty more ammunition. I am a peaceable man but will not be pushed. If they wish to change the rules and make me an outlaw, so be it. If they want my guns, they are welcome to take a run at them.

But bring lots of body bags.

Ya, I get that, the quip per se is ad hom teasing more than anything...as we've traversed to this point in time my ability to GAFF about much has decreased in pace...if it comes to a DIAPOB situation...it doesn't frighten me.
