The American public is letting the White House know what they think about their gun control nonsense. They don't like it. Start enforcing the existing gun laws. Please leave us alone!
NICS checks have set an all time record for 2015
NICS checks have set an all time record for 2015, one that’s 9.7% higher than the previous record, 10% higher than last year, which shaded off slightly from 2013’s record, and even 7% higher than our prediction of a new record, one month ago.
This was thanks to an all time record month in December, with 3,314,594 checks recorded.It was the first month to see over 3 million checks, and it blew past that number by over 10%. The previous record of 2.78 million was set in December, 2012; the new number is 19% higher.
Retailers tell us that this is not just panic buying (although there is a panic buying component, and manufacturers shoudn’t go overboard with capacity… yet). Still, we are seeing a structural realignment in the firearms market, with new users begetting new users, exponentially; most of them interested in self-defense and in practical shooting sports that the ATF argues are not sports because they were not yet common in the 1960s.
Remember in the summer and in 2014 when all the journo hacks who went to Bloomberg’s propaganda camp were crowing about how we’d passed Peak Gun? What are they going to write about this?Hell, they’re journalists. They’ll just make something up.

All those people following the rules when they buy guns.
Ok, so, what's the story here again?
Instead of talking past each other, and gloating about sales, let's have a serious discussion.

Thus background checks are a GOOD THING.
