More hope and change...The #1 gun salesman is apparently still hard at work!
Americans bought enough guns in the first 3 months of the year to outfit the entire Chinese and Indian armies combined.
Earlier this year Barack Obama was awarded "Gun Salesman of the Year" by Outdoor Wire.

The Cheaper Than Dirt gun store recorded a record day of gun sales the day after the election of President-elect Barack Obama and is having trouble keeping up with the demand for assault riffles.

Ammoland reported, via Free Republic:
In just 3 months Americans bought enough guns to outfit the entire Chinese and Indian army's combined.
You also bought 1,529,635,000 rounds of ammunition in just the month of December 2008. Yeah that is right, that is Billion with a "B".
This is an evaluation of overall firearms and ammunition purchases based on low end numbers per Federal NIC instacheck data base Statistics. The numbers presented are only PART of the overall numbers of arms and ammunition that have been sold. The actual numbers are much higher.
I find it genuinely reassuring to know that American citizens have more weapons in hand than the Chinese and Indian armies combined. Now, the real question is how we stack up against Obama's youth brigade...after all, they were supposed to be as well-funded and well-armed as the U.S. military, right?
There's my two cents.
