Gun sales are soaring once again in the US, with shoppers taking advantage of the holiday season to allay their fears of terrorism and potential gun control measures.
Figures for November show that the FBI carried out some 2.2 million background checks on potential sales of guns.
The figure constitutes a 24 percent increase on figures recorded this time last year, and is the seventh consecutive month to see a record number of checks.
As we previously noted, on Black Friday, a record 185,345 background checks were processed by the FBI.
In October, the FBI carried out1,976,759 Instant Background Checks.
While the figures do not represent a one to one calculation for gun sales, they are considered a reliable indicator of overall gun sales. Sales between private parties are not subject to background checks.
FBI stats also show that almost 20 million firearms related checks have been carried out in 2015, with one month still to be calculated, the overall figure should surpass 2013’s record of 21,09,273 checks.
Gun sales and concealed carry permit applications in the US have continued to spike in the days following the terror attacks in Paris, and San Bernardino, according to gun store owners.
“Ever since the Paris attacks, we’ve had a lot of customers coming in,” Eric Wallace, manager of Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna, Georgia told TODAY.
“Buying first guns, buying guns to protect their homes, their families, and themselves.”
“Like any good husband, I asked for the list of Christmas items that you’d like to have and one of the items was a firearm,” gun owner Louis Cole told reporters, adding “Above jewelry was a firearm.”
In addition to the terrorist threat, President Obama has not tried to hide the fact that he intends to introduce gun control legislation via executive fiat. There can be no doubt that this is driving higher gun sales.
Last week, White House communications director Jen Psaki told Bloomberg that within a matter of “weeks, not months” Obama will review recommendations for executive orders provide to him at request by the Department of Justice.
The DOJ continues to work on options to allow Obama skirt around Congress on the issue and effectively counter lawsuits that pro-Second Amendment rights groups have prepared.
According to Psaki, Obama is planning a “range of steps that can be taken as it relates to the people who have access to guns [and] how people gain access to guns,” and that he “will not be satisfied” unless some kind of action is taken on firearms before the end of his term.
In an effort to protect Second Amendment rights, GOP presidential hopeful Rand Paul has introduced legislation intended to block any effort by the incumbent president to enforce gun control by executive action.

NEW RECORD FOR 2015 GUN SALES
BY BOB ADELMANN
SEE: http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/crime/item/22193-2015-gun-sales-on-pace-to-set-new-record; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
On Black Friday the FBI processed 185,345 gun background checks, the most ever recorded in a single day. In November there were 2,243,030 background checks, one of the highest on record. For the first 11 months of the year, the FBI processed nearly 20 million gun background checks, and that was before the San Bernardino massacre.
Now it’s winter, and Christmastime, one of the periods of highest demand for guns and their accessories. With momentum growing to own and carry a gun continuing through the end of the year, 2015 is likely to set a new record in background checks.
For the record, the NICS (the National Instant Criminal Background Check System) has processed more than 222 million background checks since 1998.
Those checks are only a vague approximation of the number of guns sold, as many are still purchased and sold privately, and others are often purchased in multiples by existing gun owners. But it is proxy for the gun ownership revolution that continues under Obama’s watch.
That revolution is now reflected in data showing that more than half of all homes in America have a gun, estimated to be between 100 million and 160 million homes. The best estimate of the actual number of firearms owned comes in at about 250 million.
It’s also reflected in the stock performance of Sturm Ruger and Smith & Wesson during the year, with their stock prices rising by 77 percent and 134 percent respectively.
It’s also reflected by the increasing number of women owning firearms, forcing even the anti-gun New York Timesto comment on their “rising voice” in the movement last year. According to the Times from February, 2013:
A growing number of women are learning to use firearms and hone their skills.
Women’s participation in the shooting sports has surged over the last decade, increasing by 51.5 percent in target shooting from 2001 to 2011, to just over five million women, and by 41.8 percent for hunting, according to the National Sporting Goods Association.
Gun manufacturers are marketing their wares toward that increasingly important segment, offering smaller frames, custom colors (with pink often a favorite), and accessories such as the high-end concealed carry Salmon Kiss leather handbag offered by Cobra Firearms for $350.
There are many reasons to explain the continuing surge in enjoying Second Amendment rights, including the desire for self-protection in an increasingly violent society, the fear of stricter gun laws as promised by President Obama in his last year of his second term, and just the general feeling of uncertainty that is increasingly pervasive as society continues to move away from its permanent foundations.
For some women, however, ownership of a firearm is a statement of independence and personal power, as expressed by Tina Wilson-Cohen, a former Secret Service agent who founded She Can Shoot in Virginia. With women-only chapters spreading across the country, she says that most of them have joined because “they’ve been a victim at one point of their life, of stalking or date rape or domestic violence, or they have just felt so vulnerable, and they want to feel competent and [that] they can protect themselves.”
According to Women and Guns magazine, an arm of the Second Amendment Foundation, there are at least 12 million women gun owners in the country, with other estimates approaching 20 million.
The momentum is spawning new avenues of marketing as well, including GunTV, the late-night home shopping channel starting in January, which will offer firearms and accessories to gun enthusiasts seeking detailed information before making a purchase without having to visit a gun store.
The momentum is also being driven by attacks on guns and gun owners by anti-gun media, especially including the New York Times. The establishment’s voice broke a 95-year tradition in early December by removing all doubt in its front-page editorial about what the anti-gun movement is trying to accomplish:
It is a moral outrage and national disgrace that civilians can legally purchase weapons designed to kill people with brutal speed and efficiency....
It is past time to stop talking about halting the spread of firearms, and instead to reduce their number drastically — eliminating some large categories of weapons and ammunition....
Certain kinds of weapons ... and certain kinds of ammunition, just be outlawed for civilian ownership ... it would require Americans who own those kinds of weapons to give them up for the good of their fellow citizens.
Not only do an increasing number of Americans not trust the New York Times or its opinions, those Americans increasingly don’t trust their government either. The latest poll from Pew Research Center shows that less than 25 percent of Americans trust the government always or most of the time, with 75 percent saying they trust the government only some of the time, or never.
With the president promising additional restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms during his lame duck year in office, with the anti-gun media now making it abundantly clear what their objective is, and with states increasingly allowing their citizens to obtain concealed carry permits, these are all the incentives needed to continue to drive the ownership of firearms by private citizens. That momentum will likely accelerate as long as the attacks on freedom — both personal and political — continue.

It is that time of year again. The time of year when the Department of Homeland Security and the Fear Factory in Washington D.C. doles out things like “credible threats” and a tweaking of the terror alert system. Most American’s are taking it very seriously this year as President Obama and the traitors occupying the nation’s capitol have doubled down on the infusion of potential jihadi terrorists flowing into the United States. And while Obama and his family vacation far away from the maddening crowd.
In addition to the terrorist threat, President Obama has not tried to hide the fact that he intends to introduce gun control legislation via executive fiat. There can be no doubt that this is driving higher gun sales. Last week, White House communications director Jen Psaki told Bloomberg that within a matter of “weeks, not months” Obama will review recommendations for executive orders provide to him at request by the Department of Justice.
According to Psaki, Obama is planning a “range of steps that can be taken as it relates to the people who have access to guns [and] how people gain access to guns,” and that he “will not be satisfied” unless some kind of action is taken on firearms before the end of his term.
In an effort to protect Second Amendment rights, GOP presidential hopeful Rand Paul has introduced legislation intended to block any effort by the incumbent president to enforce gun control by executive action. Relegating the President’s potential action to an advisory position. Stock up folks. “Interesting times” are upon us.
