Gun sales hit 17th straight monthly record, up 27 percent

[M14 Shooter]

Gun sales hit the 17th consecutive monthly record in September according to FBI data released on Monday, and overall sales are up 27 percent compared to the same period last year.

A total of 1,992,219 background checks were processed through the bureau's National Instant Criminal Background Check System for the month of September, higher than the 1,795,102 conducted in September 2015.

A year-over-year record has been set every month since May 2015. The September figure brings the total for the first nine months of the year to 19,872,694, and puts this year easily on track to break last year's 12-month record, when 23,141,970 sought to purchase firearms.

The last two months of the year tend to be the best for gun sales. A total of 3,314,594 Americans applied to lock and load in December 2015, making it the most firearm-friendly month on record.

"Sales of handguns and AR's have been very strong for the past two months. Hunting rifles have been about average for this time of year,"

Huh. I wonder why this is.
Lesse....

Hillary believes the Supreme Court “Got it wrong” when it said the 2nd protects an individual right not connected with service in the militia.

You've shown exactly why it is. The gun manufacturers have been using politics as a way of spreading fear. They love fear. Fear Hillary, fear Obama, they're going to take your guns, fear ISIS, fear the common enemy, fear Muslims, fear and buy guns, your life is in danger because Muslims might kill you, but guns won't kill you, just Muslims, and Democrats.
