Good day all. As you are no doubt aware, the Progressive Liberal Democratic Communazis at the federal and state level are desperately trying to get around the recent Bruen decision. They have been passing any number of laws that flagrantly violate the decision and the Constitution. The problem is, it doesn’t appear that these morons have been looking at the recent sales figures.
I’ve reported before on how the NICS’s checks have been running over 1 million a month for the last three years. These checks only state that the person is not precluded from owning firearms. It does’t actually count the number of guns sold. Now we have some data on this, and the numbers should put the fear of armed Americans into the hearts of the totalitarian left. Here are the details from the Washington Examiner:
The most popular firearm in America continues to roll out of gun stores in record numbers. According to new data released on the day a House committee is considering a ban on the gun, the number of AR-15 and AK-47-style “modern sporting rifles” has surged to 24.4 million.
The industry trade group National Shooting Sports Foundation said that is more than all the Ford F-150s on the road. The pickup is America’s most popular.
The Angry Brother has a Ford F-150. The Anger Central Primary Vehicle is a Toyota Tacoma, that I would like to replace with a Ford Bronco, the Raptor version if I had tons of money. (Hint Hint)
The group said that there have been 4.5 million sold since 2020, when President Joe Biden won in part with a promise to ban the guns, which he and liberals call “assault weapons” because they look — but don’t operate — like military rifles.
There is no such thing as an “Assault Rifle, and there never was. The closest was the Nazi Sturmgewehr StG44 from World War Two. It is considered the “Father” of the modern military rifles, such as the fully automatic AK47 and the fully automatic M-16/M-4 rifles. Sturmgewehr translates into English as “Storm rifle” or “Assault Rifle.” This was a name given to it by the Hero of the Communazis, Adolph Hitler. (He must be their hero, They keep emulating everything he did)
The rifles sold today on the civilian market are not military rifles and the military has never used them. They are semiautomatic only, not full automatic. The difference is simple, A semiautomatic firearm fires one shot with each pull of the trigger. A fully automatic firearm continues firing as long as the trigger is pulled or until it runs out of ammunition.
The semi-automatic guns have been in the media’s eye because they have been used in recent mass shootings, and critics believe banning new sales of the guns will somehow end shootings.
Which it won’t. Frankly, in most of these situations, an AR-15 isn’t all that great. The cartridge it uses is basically a hopped up .22 caliber projectile. If you want to do real damage, a 12 gauge pump action shotgun is far more destructive at close range.
However, banning sales clearly will do nothing about the millions of guns already used by people to plink, target shoot, and hunt.
“This is a truly significant figure that demonstrates – again – the popularity of this commonly-owned style of rifle,” said NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi. “The firearm industry responds to market demand and this shows that during the elevated period of firearm sales that began in 2020, this particular style of rifle is the top choice for law-abiding citizens for hunting, recreational shooting and self-defense.”
This is correct for a number of reasons. First, the rifles are easy to use, especially for smaller people. Children, under adult supervision, can handle these rifles very easily. There isn’t all that much of a recoil to them. Second, the ammunition, until recently, was fairly inexpensive. Third, the Stoner Platform rifle rifle is one of the most modular designs in existence. People like to modify the rifles to suit their particular needs.
Since the original ban ended, over 20 million AR style firearms have been sold. This does not take into account the ones people built from scratch. That number is unknown of course, but probably in the millions. People build their own because it’s easy to do with not all that many tools needed. People will highly customize these builds and usually with very expensive parts.
This doesn’t take into account all the other types of semiautomatic rifles that have been sold, both in the 5.56mm/.223 caliber and the 7.62×51/.308 caliber. You can add easily another 10 million rifles to the numbers of AR-15’s that have been sold.
As to why the Progressive Liberal Democratic Communazis are so hot to strip the guns out of the hands of the American people? The reason is simple. They are terrified of us. Their goal is to turn the United States into a totalitarian slave state where only the few ruling elites have any say in how things are run.
An armed population has been constantly thwarting their plans. Now they aren’t even trying to hide what they want to do. Beside the bill to outlaw guns, they are also pushing another bill to “Pack” the Supreme Court with justices who will make the 9th Circus look downright conservative. One of the first things the new Progressive Court will do is rule that the 2nd Amendment only applies to the military and police. Of course they will also strip out the entire bill of rights and basically trash the Constitution. That will not end well.
The long and short of it is simple. The Democrat Party is the party of slavery and totalitarian government. The January 6th protest scare the living crap out of the Progressives, RINO’s and TransRepublicans. If a few hundred people following some guy in a viking helmet, completely unarmed, could get in to their “Palace,” how could they stop thousands, millions of people, armed to the teeth who have had it with the Federal Government, decide the time has come to open the 4th Box of Liberty. The Progressives might think they can put this genie back in the bottle, but the bottle has been smashed. The American People have voted, and they voted with their wallets.
