Renewed calls for gun control laws spur sales

[DeepSouth]

Renewed calls for more restrictive gun laws, following a succession of fatal shootings in the United States, immediately appear to be generating a boost for the gun industry.

Newly released August records show that the FBI posted 1.7 million background checks required of gun purchasers at federally licensed dealers, the highest number recorded in any August since gun checks began in 1998. The numbers follow new monthly highs for June (1.5 million) and July (1.6 million), a period which spans a series of deadly gun attacks — from Charleston to Roanoke — and proposals for additional firearm legislation.

I love the fact that the more the antis talk about gun control in almost any form, sales go up. Maybe if they really wanted "guns off the streets" they'd shut up!

At this rate Hillary may be the gun sales woman of 2016.

Once universal background checks become universal and the people who voted for them, or let them come into existance without a vote like they did in my state, will find out they do absolutely nothing to stop "gun violence" . Then they will be on to the next line item on their agenda.

i hope that for all the guns that get sold when the grabbers bark that we get more and more people who don't want them taking them away when it's time for a vote. If more sales means more pro-gun voters then it is a good thing. We can only hope....
