    Why don’t people just shut him up when he’s saying stuff like this? This is how all these “blow your lung out” shirts and memes got started. You’d think his handlers would put the brakes on his shooting his own credibility in the Johnson. He’s gone full-auto on his own crotch.

    Dementia's a bitch. Not a lot his handlers can do about it.

    Threats of firearms restrictions always seems to cause a bump in purchases. I bought my Windham AR a few days after Sandy Hook specifically because I thought they may be banned or further restricted.

    Happens every time. I'll bet the gun industry really appreciates it when the lefties call for gun bans.

    They do-Obama's crocodile tears about Sandyhook and howling for bans was a big seller. My local range owner had got a great deal on Bushmaster rifles-bought a ton of them. Like several pallets worth. His staff privately told me that it was a bad move-those were not selling quickly and the whole storage room was crammed full of those things. so the owner put out a circular selling them at a very good price-he still made over 100 a gun. Then Sandyhook hit. He sold 200 in three days. made 30,000 dollars in two weeks.

    Clearly that was a smart move.

    No one has been able to buy a gun since, you were lucky.

    If the Dems had their way, AR 15s would have been banned for future sales. Dems-by having bangasms after every over-publicized shooting-sell millions of those rifles, making their wet dream of a ban harder and harder to achieve

    I have a couple dozen-don't need any more though I might buy a HM defense with the internal suppressor. I did just order a GLOCK 20 for my son. He likes camping, fly fishing and trail hiking in some states with bears.

    They don't, in fact, i think you can measure how afraid someone is by the number of guns they own for "defense".

    I do own three guns, but they are all for hunting. They are all locked up not even in my home. I don't keep them for protection.

    The post you quoted was sarcasm.

    Sometimes a dealer gets lucky. Too bad it had to happen after such a tragedy.

    Not everyone is Batman. Some people can realistically foresee a need for a gun for security. Some people have no need for security, like yourself, just a Batcave and Batbelt.

    Your measurement is yours alone but it's just projection. Many gun owners have more than one gun because they're really fun to shoot. Or they have Bruce Wayne money and can afford lots of cool stuff. Not everyone collects the same things for the same reason.

    You're right. There are plenty of people out there always looking over their shoulder for the boogeyman.

    in the case of Democrats, it's a guy with a Trump sticker on his truck and a gun rack in the back window

    Nope, i live amongst them. Doesn't bother me at all.

    Usually they have about 40 Trump stickers though, those guys don't usually stop at 1 sticker.

    Out of curiosity, and feel free to make fun of me if this is covered in the article as I haven't finished it yet, but is this unusual? I'd assume that black Friday is a big deal for most industries. Are these numbers unusual compared to previous years of gun sales?

    What kind of child isn't minding their own security, is the question to be asked.
