More than 8.57 million guns were produced in 2012, up 31 percent from 6.54 million in 2011, according to data released this week by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which has been tracking the statistics since 1986."And that's after it rose almost 20 percent in 2011. And 30 percent in 2009."

From the Bloomberg report...“Barack Obama is the stimulus package for the firearms industry,” said Dave Workman, senior editor of Gun Mag, a print and online publication of the 2nd Amendment Foundation, a gun-ownership rights group. “The greatest irony of the Obama administration is that the one industry that he may not have really liked to see healthy has become the healthiest industry in the United States.”

Alcohol, tobacco and firearms - who's bringing the chips?
Typical of Obama's general level of competence.
Interesting how all types of guns are holding generally steady as a percentage (width of colored bands) except pistols, which are an increasing percentage. It looks like pistols are driving much of the growth in sales. Makes sense, given the approval of CCW laws in mast states.

Everybody's waiting for the crash.

That depends entirely on the size of your ... Oh, wait, you're talking about weapons, not guns. Sorry.
A double barrel shotgun is the sort of thing Biden recommends - ergo, useless in home defense.
A nice Remington 870 holds more rounds and allows you to finish what you start without reloading.
"They say it cant happen here."
Come and take it, baby.
Here's the thing, though. First, wtf is wrong with Florida? Forget Trayvon. That was iffy. But movie theater dude and gas station dude were out to lunch. Especially gas station dude. Driving home, taking care of the dog.
I know why that jury hung. They could not be sure he didn't think a gun was being raised to him. And in his mindset, he really wasn't.
Got us a Molon Labe mujer fer sure!
Yeah, baby.
