Gun Sales Keep Soaring - 7
by Gerry Bethge
Firearm sales continued to surge across the country for the fifth straight month, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, extending a trend that began after the November elections. The increase also follows recent comments by several high-profile members of the Obama administration about re-imposing permanently and expanding the ban on modern sporting rifles. Data from the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) show background checks on the sale of firearms jumped 29.2 percent in March when compared to March 2008 and were up 27.1 percent for the first quarter of 2009 over the same quarter last year. The increase follows a 23 percent rise in February, a 28 percent rise in January, a 24 percent rise in December and a 42 percent jump in November, when a record 1,529,635 background checks were performed. FBI background checks are required under federal law for all individuals purchasing firearms from federally licensed retailers. These checks serve as a strong indicator of actual sales. Correspondingly, ammunition manufacturers are reporting record sales across the country as demand continues to outpace supply. "Americans concerned about their ability to purchase many types of home defense, hunting and target shooting firearms in the future are continuing to purchase these products in record numbers today," said NSSF President Steve Sanetti. "Along with this strong sales showing, we've also seen increased participation in firearm safety and education programs such as NSSF First Shots." NICS reported 1,345,096 checks in March, up from 1,040,863 in the same month a year ago.

But that feed hasn't been updated since December 16. It was when the blog was hosted at blogs.com.
You provide syndicate links on the left, but they don't contain a valid feed address, and there is no autodiscovery link in the header. Do you have a new feed URL for the Gun Shots? If not, you should remove the syndicate links.
Thanks.
Up to this point Mr. B.O. has been the best thing for the gun industry. Good luck taking all those away.
MR. OBAMA WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT IN NOVEMBER ELECTIONS/NOT ANNOINTED KING OF THE U.S. A . a lot of his ideas are alreday beginning to unravel/ even though some changes were needed no doubt , i'm not to sure he'll be able to get things done just because he thinks it's the right thing ,

BO, the U.S.A. we remember is already gone,the surge in gun sales should be a signal that many AMERICANS are already in the process of preparing for an unexpected future whether they realize it or not.

6p,
the changes that were needed were to return the country to what the Founding Fathers envisioned. What we are getting is a slide into a totalitarian, socialist morass, which threatens the very fabric of our Constitutional government. Unless good men rise up, the USA that was as I was growing up, will be gone. The MSM would have one believe that is a good thing.
With the lack of any kind of fixed moral compass present in the new administration's presentations, the way Obamanation has given in to the Europeans at the G20 meetings, we are in for very unpleasant times. It looks a lot like what I envisioned when I read "The Book of the Revelation." We may be getting there, I hope not, but I'm not so sure. One world government here we come.
Gee, is there a single gun owner that couldn't have seen this coming? The day after the election, I got a half dozen calls from different acquaintances who were asking about guns, what was best for them, what caliber, revolver vs auto, shotgun vs rifle. I was busy for several days just getting back to people.
Just so everyone is aware, I did my part in helping to increase the number of gun owners in the USA. It was the only good thing about last November.
