Voting with our pocketbooks!

 

[chris_1001]

Obama sure is living up to that "#1 Firearms Salesman" title.

Looks like the spreadsheet graph of my purchases.

Holy crap -- there are only about 250,000 licensees in MA, no?


(Or does that number not include FIDs?)

 

[Hoover]

I'm glad I could be a part of it.

 

[Jolly_1]

I have to wait for them to pull in 2014 for me to be in that graph. I have two this week so I am doing what I can....

Can someone tell my wife I need to help add to this?

 

[JayMcB]

The really cool thing is this is just transactions, and it builds up nicely when you add them up year over year.

Happy to have been a part of this, except giving those .gov shitstains their 6.25% sales tax for them.

yup, Marsha, all those tough gun laws, long waits for licensing and people jumping ship to NH are really discouraging us I guess... We should be up a least twice that come on people

The amazing thing is this doesn't include transfers!!! That would add another 50% I bet.

Explains why all my favorite old, blued revolvers are shooting up in price.

You gave her the combo

 

[Zappa]

As of mid February, a bit over 300,000 LTC's

But this number is way down from what it was before the laws changed in 1998. [sad2]

My bro-inlaw works at SIG and says they have overtime for the next 5 years.

A, Thank You, card from the gun lobby to Deval Patrick and the legislature would be appropriate.

That's a nice increase.

Where do those numbers come from?

So only about a third of Ma lic holders bought a gun last year. With all the panic buying I would have thought everyone would have bought at least one new gun last year. I wonder what other states numbers were.

Just noticed that this doesn't include "registrations" so no lowers that haven't been made into rifles yet. That's going to add a few.

It would be a hoot to see S&W make a fancy one-off, custom engraved presentation pistol for Deval, and then see him decline to accept it because he doesn't have an LTC.

 

[GJH86]

Keep buying & scaring the sheeple

Oh this would be just awesome. Have a big press showing for it.
