For someone who doesn't like guns he sure does a great job selling them. Way to keep guns off the street there chachi. Your plan worked tremendous.

This is a great statistic, the real one i would be interested is "First Time Buyers." Sure, all of us who own guns pretty much know what they want to do so we all went out and bought more, but i really hope that many people bought one for the first time. Lets hope that number is very high. We'll need it

For 2010, background checks totaled 14,320,489. In 2011, checks were 16,336,732, and in 2012, 19,463,832. Background checks for the month of January 2013 were 2,483,230.

Wow! I guess a sales rate equivalent to 2x that of 2010? I guess it's not a real surprise from what we've been seeing but an annualized rate of almost 30 million guns...whew!

Wow ... and yet from the media, movies, tv, and politicks you would think only crazy hermits still want guns.

I have purchased a few since he has been in office and when prices return to normal I will buy some more.

They would sell a lot more if the shelves at the gun stores were not bare.

I thought this was just the number of sales from INGO....

Seriously, when you consider all of the states where FTF is legal, the number is much higher. I seldom buy in a store when I can FTF.

Too bad, all the guns we bought face to face, aren't included in that amount

 

[Bennettjh]

Be careful! This statistic will make DiFi have the big one! It would be interesting to see how many were "assault type weapons". That'd really set her off. PITA
