The White House confirmed that President Obama was preparing a series of executive actions on gun control to match his recent passion on the issue after the latest mass shooting in Oregon.
“It’s a high priority and will continue to be until we start to see more progress on this issue in this town,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters today at the press briefing.
Earnest said he would “quibble” with anyone who criticized the president for not voicing any specific gun control proposals during his press conference, asserting that the White House was working behind the scenes for more executive actions on guns.
Of course he is. X( How much longer before they go all out and issue a total private gun ban? I know the Prophet Joseph Smith issued a prophecy about guns being banned in the U.S. at some point - I think it was in conjunction to his prophecy about the next great civil war starting in Chicago owing to the devaluation of our currency, but can't recall exactly.
This is wonderfully awesome! There's a reason Obama is the best gun salesman in the world right now!!!
There's a Joseph Smith prophecy for nearly everything isn't there....
Obama's been given credit for a $9 billion boost to the firearms industry....bet he wishes he had just even a 1% commission...but I also bet his financial handlers have a few dollars invested in firearm manufacturers....

From 2001 to 2007, gun production held steady at between 3 million and 4 million units a year. It topped 4 million in 2008 but shot to 5.6 million in 2009, held steady in 2010 and then spiked to 8.6 million guns in 2012 and a record 10.8 million in 2013, according to ATF data.
In 2000, 51 percent of Americans said guns made homes more dangerous, according to Gallup, the polling firm. By last year, that had dropped to 30 percent, and a full 63 percent now said guns made a home “safer.”
California’s background checks hit 199,833 in March — 20 percent more than the previous monthly high and about twice as much as the average for March over the last decade.
Nationally, concealed carry permits have grown from 4.6 million in 2007 to more than 12 million now, Mr. Lott said.

2007: U.S. has by far the highest rate of private gun ownership in the world: 88 guns per 100 people. (Next on the list is Yemen, at 55 guns per 100.) At the conservative estimate of 270 million guns, Americans have stockpiled almost half of the privately owned firearms in the world.

That was pre-Obama...our greatest gun salesman in the history of this country!!!
Newly released August records show that the FBI posted 1.7 million background checks required of gun purchasers at federally licensed dealers, the highest number recorded in any August since gun checks began in 1998. The numbers follow new monthly highs for June (1.5 million) and July (1.6 million), a period which spans a series of deadly gun attacks — from Charleston to Roanoke — and proposals for additional firearm legislation.
While the FBI does not track actual gun sales, as multiple firearms can be included in a transaction by a single buyer, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System's numbers are an indicator of a market upswing in the face of growing anxiety about access to guns.

Gun stocks surge 70% in 2015 alone

There's an estimated 18,187,052 active duty military personnel in the world.
There have been 65,376,373 background checks completed for Americans purchasing firearms since February of 2009, the first full month of Barack Obama's presidency.
By comparison, the number of background checks in Obama's first term is 91.1% higher than President George W. Bush's first-term total of 34,214,066.

That's as of February 11, 2013...and at that point enough firearms to arm every professional soldier in the world with at least 3 firearms since Obama took office.
“2013 was the best year for firearm sales (commercial, domestic) in history — period! That’s true for NH to Hawaii,” said Richard Feldman, president of the Independent Firearm Owners Association in Rindge, N.H. “Ruger alone sold well over one million guns this year.”
Mr. Feldman said to expect the next surge to be in bullets.
“Ammunition will still be very strong in 2014 as it hasn’t caught up nationally with the demand,” he said.

A background check is conducted only in store purchases.

...typically new firearm sales...
Data from the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) indicate that firearm acquisitions set a new record during June, July and August, and are on track to finish the year higher than any year except 2013, when firearm acquisitions soared in reaction to President Obama’s push for gun control.
There were more than 2.6 million firearm acquisition-related checks during June through August 2015, a figure 100,000 higher than was achieved during the 2013 surge, and well above the figures for any other year since NICS’ inception in November 1998.
For the first eight months of 2015, January through August, the number of firearm acquisition-related checks was the second highest on record, at 7.7 million, well behind the 9.3 million tallied during the 2013 surge, but running 365,000 ahead of the number achieved last year.

Or more than 11 firearms for every professional soldier in the world...and that's just 1998 to 2014...not including the historical stockpile prior to 1998 nor including more record breaking sales in 2015...
I just wonder if we aren't nearing capacity or at least close to the tipping point....since there are very realistically more private firearms in the country than there are people (men, women, and children) to shoot them...hat's off to Obama though for his salesmanship in keeping it going!!!
Go Obama Go!!!!!
