Americans Applied To Buy More Than 5.5

[lostinblue 1,989]

If the amount of guns sold matched the number of background checks, it would be more than enough to supply the standing armies of both China (2.3 million active members) and India (1.13 million active members).

And nobody thinks that's INSANE?

Apparently this is the America they want and have a perfectly rational reason for having.

Here is what is going to happen.

1. Gun sales go through the roof, 40% increase so far compared to last year, it's early

2. NRA membership will increase 30% to 6.5 million before the end of the year

3. NO new Federal Gun laws will be passed.

Definitely No. 1, No.2 I'd put more likely at 10%, No. 3 I'd say there will be a token Federal Law but not an AWB.

No. 4 Certain states are going to crack down harder, especially California with its supermajority. All we poor Californians can hope for is that the courts rescue us.

Its a bit like oil speculation. If you think the US will restrict 30 rd magazines, you rush to buy as many as possible. Afterwards you can make a 300% profit.

How can you legally make a profit from selling a banned item? Right, you can't. Just another hole in that "law abiding gun owner" argument.

Banned as in banned from manufacturing, at least per the old law.

If possession isn't banned, then it is not a ban. If sale and transfer isn't banned, then it's nothing at all. So let's try and not give out inappropriate nick-names. There's never been a ban of these mag or of assault weapons. Just as there is no background check for firearm acquisition. It's all just cheap, ineffective window dressing. And that is why innocent people continue to be victims of the firearm insanity going on in this country.

So say we all. (I'm just using the terms the politicians use after all)

Clinton said it was a ban. Senator Schumer said it was a ban. Senator Feinstein said it was a ban. Were these Democrats lying?

Democrats lost control of the Congress for this supposed ban, you mean they gave that up for nothing? And now you think they will do it again...right?

People who do not like America and American principles and beliefs have many, many other places they can choose to live or they can move to parts of America where the laws reflect their beliefs.

If you want to live in a place that restricts all semiautos and registers all handguns move to DC where the murder rate is 17.5/100000 residents and the violent crime rate is >1200 per 100000 residents then PLEASE walk around with a sign that says you don't own a gun and believe guns are bad so that we may example you as darwanism at it's finest.

I know. I don't like to get hung up over labels. It's just funny when people say that the "assault weapons ban" didn't work. The truth is that we never had one in the first place. So naturally, it didn't work because it never went into effect.

Yes.

Contrary to your narrow-minded belief system, one can like America and still retain a sound judgement when it comes to the harmful effects of irresponsible firearm proliferation. While gun nuts would rather reduce the essence of this great nation to instruments of murder, mayhem and destruction, the truth is that America >> guns. It's just that simple.

Because we all know that the gun laws are the reason there are so much violent crime. Has nothing to do with poverty, drugs, no jobs,and less education.
