Good job G!

I'm a pendulum, can't find the middle... (insert bad joke here) 

So I'll go higher and say 1,451,376.

Predator Don  is back on top! His guess of 1299753 is off by only 951! High Praise Again!
This is Predator Don's second guess with an error less than 1000. Its almost like he is  getting a hold of the numbers before me and changing his bet! (Just kidding)
Official number was 1,300,704 up 12% from 1,157,041 last year.

It would appear that the Obamacare decision had little impact on the numbers,  as last month's growth was 11.5%
It would appear those who are capable of waking  up, have already done so.

Taking bets for August.

I'm predicting a slight downtick this month, partly because school is beginning and I believe the spike in the middle of July will effect August numbers. After August, as we get close to Nov, we will uptick again.

AUGUST: 1, 267, 212

Delta Force wins HIGH PRAISE in the August Pool -  His guess of 1,285,702 was closest to the official number of 1,526,206

Another significant uptick fomo last year's number of 1,310,041- its up 16.5%

With the election coming up, I suspect the September and October numbers are going to be hard to predict - but comeon everyone, give it a try..  Last years Number for September was 1,253,752

They will continue to decline throughout the election cycle.

Mkay, I'm getting in.

"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."

Glock32 wins HIGH PRAISE in the September Pool! -  His guess of 1,402,240 was closest to the official number of 1,459,363
Pretty Darn Close!

Yet another significant increase - total for the year now tops 13 million.

Now lets try October... Will Mitten's slam dunk at the debates cause a drop? Will Pre-election jitters drives sales? Are people just hunting?   Last years Number for October was 1,340,273, and it was 1,183,279 in 2008.   Get your guess in!

Who would have thought a guy who calls himself Glock would get so close..... Congrats.

It's re fleshing to know, WTSHTF, so many are armed.

I must give this number some thought. I'm waiting until the debates are over.
