That's enough to arm the armies of China and India COMBINED.
Obama: gun salesman of the century.

If those 12.7 million guns averaged just $200 each that would amount to over $2.5 billion in sales! I would not mind boosting my own chunk of that sales money.

Yep...and the Democrats would like to do away with our market all together...think of the impact on our broken economy.

If just 20% of those 12.7 million were "assault rifles" that's 2.54 million of those guns out there that weren't before.

The Browning is nice, but I NEVER saw a Model 30, and at one time my late brother was a SERIOUS S&W collector...had 300 +/- at one time, and he never had a Model 30..what .32 is it, S&W Long?
Way cool, looks in NIB condition too..

To me, that's the sad underlying theme here; that a quasi-tyrannical Federal Government with Obama as its face, has caused this, when people should have been arming up for decades for the same reason they are now.
Government has merely accelerated the pace of their march toward totalitarianism under this current regime. This path was taken long ago and has been continued under Repub & Dem rule ever since.
This one might be the first one I have encountered. I can't recall ever seeing one of these at the auctions.
I only bought 1 in 08 and it went down with the boat [B)]
I hate when that happens[:(]

I read that 4.5 million firearms were bought just since November of 2008, and over one billion rounds of ammunition.
I think it' a good bet that substantially more than 20% of the guns were "assault rifles," judging by the fact that several dealers I've talked to said that their sales of long guns were almost exclusively "assault rifles."
Are these numbers for new rifles and pistols or just registrations?
I'm waiting for my made in montana rifle....
Im not sure but think that private sales would nearly double that number?

The thing about private sales is that it is just a redistribution of guns already in private hands rather than new guns going from maker to dealer to consumer, so private sales don't really alter the total number of guns available for private use, just the identity of the new end user.
