Thanks Obama! 27 Million Guns Sold in 2016

The NRA should probably send Obama a ‘Thank You” card.

He’s been the greatest thing that’s ever happened to gun sales!

In 2016 alone 27 million guns were sold.

From Washington Examiner:

Driven by terror threats and a potential Hillary Clinton administration, sales of guns in America soared to record levels in 2016, according to the FBI.

The numbers do not include many guns sold to or given to friends and family.

Sales hit record levels for some 19 months in a row as the number of terrorist attacks around the world and here at home increased, driving purchases by those seeking protection. The increase paralleled increases in those seeking a license to carry a concealed weapon.

The administration’s constant, but failed, efforts to impose gun control, and threats by Clinton to double down on those efforts, also pushed gun sales to record highs.

In fact, Obama was often called the “salesman in chief” for the gun industry.

Since the election, however, sales have slipped as fears about gun bans and ammo taxes and registration died with Clinton’s busted bid. December, for example, was the first month where sales did not match the previous December’s, when background checks reached 3.3 million.

Justin Anderson, marketing director for one of the nation’s biggest gun sellers, Hyatt Gun Store of Charlotte, N.C., told Secrets, “We are pleased to see more and more Americans taking responsibility for their own personal safety. Not only are they buying guns at a record pace, but they are also getting trained and preparing themselves”

He added that sales are expected to continue to be brisk as more Americans take self-defense seriously.
