Good day all. The subject heading has pretty much become a “Standing Headline.” The ongoing war by the Left against the Constitution, Individual rights and the United States is not going well for them. While they control the media, and most of the government, people are fighting back, and nothing demonstrates this more then sales of firearms.
Gun and ammunition sales have been climbing virtually nonstop since the left started resorting to terrorist attacks against average Americans who don’t support their progressive views. We saw the left’s ideas of protesting when they burned cities and went after people just minding their own business. It reached the point that people started emulating the traditions of the “Rooftop Koreans” of Los Angeles.
Then we have the recent decision by the Supreme Court that tossed most Progressive Blue states gun laws on the ash heap of history. As we recently saw in New York, the progressives are refusing to admit defeat and are continuing to work to undue the Bill of Rights, the 13th Amendment and institute the totalitarian utopia they so desire. The problem is, those pesky Individualist, Ultra MAGA Deplorable Americans keep buying guns. Once again, sales have exceeded 1 million units per month. Here are the details from the Washington Examiner:
Gun sales in the United States have passed the 1 million mark each month for nearly three straight years, a record being driven by people who seek to arm themselves for protection against criminals, according to new data.
For the 35th straight month, FBI background checks for firearms hit over 1 million, a victory for groups that have been advocating easier access to firearms for adults who can pass the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
“These figures are a strong reminder of the values and freedoms for which our nation stands, including the right of individuals to keep and bear arms for Americans of all walks of life,” said Mark Oliva of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a gun industry trade group.
“While President Biden and gun control advocates demanded strict gun control legislation, Americans voted with their wallets that the Second Amendment is a right they are choosing to exercise by the millions every month,” he added.
I’ve mentioned this before, but the background check isn’t for each gun you buy. It’s for that purchase that day, and the person might be buying a number of firearms. So, the NICS check only indicates that 1 million+ background checks were done in that month. Who knows what the actual number of guns sold was. (The manufacturers know of course. They’re the ones who have to supply the gun stores)
“We’re seeing a definite uptick in business in what historically is our slowest time of the year. In particular, we’re seeing a big surge in the purchase of everyday-carry handguns and associated gear,” said Justin Anderson, the marketing director of Hyatt Guns in Charlotte, North Carolina, one of the nation’s largest sellers.
More importantly, it’s not just current gun owners who are buying pistols suitable for carrying, it’s new people who have never owned a gun. They also buy extra magazines, probably several different holsters, and for the new people, lots of training hours. Experienced gun owners will always tell new people that the first thing they need to do is get training.
Of course, Liberals will say that “Oh No! New people with guns and no training! We’re all doomed!” Yeah, no. Many stores will not sell to someone who hasn’t the first clue. They will point them to places they can take classes. One of the “Growth industries” is training classes for new gun owners.
“In our store, we’re meeting many new gun buyers, with an emphasis on African American and women buyers. People are becoming more and more informed at just how inept and unwilling government agencies are to protect them, and in some extreme cases, may threaten them. Along with that, our training classes are filling up quickly at our new shooting complex just east of Charlotte. It remains an exciting time to be in the gun business!” he added.
One of the things that the Racist Progressive Liberal Democratic Communazis love to say the Ultra MAGA Deplorable Trump/DeSantis supporting Republicans want to do is ban African Americans, or any other minority from owning guns. This is a classic case of Projection from the Progressives. The Republicans, when they see someone who is black, Hispanic/Latino/Latina or Asian at a range, is ask them what they’re using and offer some tips.
Sales to women and minorities have grown with the rise in crime and easing up of concealed carry laws in about half the country.
And we have seen these women defend themselves and others with their legally owned guns. The most recent case I’m aware of happened in West Virginia where a criminal who had lost his right to keep and bear arms because he was a criminal, opened fire on a crowd of people. A woman with a Concealed Carry Weapon permit, (We can argue about the constitutionality of those later), rather then run, turned and engaged the criminal, taking him out and saving who knows how many people.
Even the New York Times staff has seen the benefits of gun ownership. Just last month, opinion editor Laura E. Adkins penned a column on getting a gun after the Supreme Court killed New York’s strict gun purchase requirements. “If my life is ever in danger, I want to be able to protect myself with a gun. And now, thanks to the Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, I am one step closer to carrying one,” she wrote.
First, good on you for moving to protect yourself. For those who may not be aware of this, and the progressives will flat out lie in this regard, law enforcement is under NO requirement to defend people. There have been many court cases and in every single instance, the courts have said that the police are there to go after criminals and protect society, not the individual. (This is simplistic on my part, but fairly accurate)
Second, New York’s tyrant, Govno Hochul, is flat out refusing to follow the Supreme court decision, the law or the Constitution. The state recently passed a new anti-2nd Amendment law that is even worse then the one just thrown out by the Supreme Court. The Progressives running New York, (Right into the ground), do not want the individual to have any means of defending themselves, and will prosecute people who do defend themselves.
Of course we also have one of the greatest sales reps for the firearms industry currently in the oval office. The blithering idiot, Joe Bumbles Dementia Biden, has been against the 2nd Amendment for his entire political career, at least for everyone else. For himself and his family, they don’t have to obey any of the laws currently on the books.
For the Progressives and their absolute refusal to acknowledge the 2nd Amendment, there are more cases moving up the line, (With several sent back to the lower courts for review in light of the recent Supreme Court decision), and it may come to pass that the entire National Firearms Act could be ruled unconstitutional. If that happens, watch the Blue State Progressives running those states heads explode in absolute denial.
