Heres the FBI stats on background checks, including an update for Jan. 2013
Keep in mind, one background check does not correlate to one weapon, often times multiple guns are purchased.
Thought y'all might enjoy this...

I don't have much on this yet but California is seizing guns for whatever reason.
Will be interesting to see if the "illegal" part, is failure to register.
But remember, no one has suggested seizing guns:roll:
If this is only from known felons, no problem.
Will have to wait to hear the "rest of the story"

A quick internet search says California is doing exactly what they should be doing...
"The agents are looking for those who are convicted felons or mentally unstable. And they have guns. The state has a list of about 20,000 such people with 40,000 guns. But because of budget restrictions, there are only 33 agents to find them."

I didn't make it up to watch the full version of AC.
Shanes article is clearly more detailed.
I read this:
I should know better than to quote cnn:haha:
There are about 40,000 illegally owned guns in California. They're owned by people from all walks of life who have been ordered to turn in their firearms for a number of different reasons, but they haven’t come forward. So special agents from California's Justice Department’s Bureau of Firearms are going after them to seize the weapons.
Speaking of propaganda <sarcasm> The second revolution is on the way </sarcasm>

Here is the first paragraph: "The Department of Homeland Security is set to purchase a further 21.6 million rounds of ammunition to add to the 1.6 billion bullets it has already obtained over the course of the last 10 months alone, figures which have stoked concerns that the federal agency is preparing for civil unrest."
Actually I believe their are a lot of things that can and should be done. What California is doing with regards to removing guns from felons appears to be something that I fully support. But this goes back to enforce the laws already on the books. Don't add more unenforceable crap until you can fund enforcement of the laws you already have.
I'm a gun owner, but I also consider myself a responsible citizen.
Tap'n on my Galaxy G3
But seriously...
"which have stoked concerns that the federal agency is preparing for civil unrest"
Given all the lip-flapping going on about a patriotic, well-armed rebellion being the only choice to fight off The Feds as they come to take our guns, bullets first; I think it prudent that the DHS stock up in preparation for civil unrest, don't you?
Tom :moses:
Not unless they're looking to pick a fight. I don't think the "gum flapping patriots" are looking to go on the offensive. They simply want to defend their rights. The aggression and infringement, perceived or real, seems to be on the part of the federal government.
I don't understand the hilarity of my response, enlighten me.
He can't...because in Toms world, everything the government proclaims and legislates is righteous, providing of course, that liberals are calling the shots. He's probably one of those guys who would gleefully volunteer to work at the government processing center where they melt down confiscated guns and turn them into electric cars.
Due to some sort of panic buying--still going on, I had a guy offer me a bit over 2 1/2 times what I paid for my AR(SOLD)
I used to have a Custom Colt MK IV and loved it, so I'm going to get another .45
I was looking at the Sig P220 and P226TACOPS, 1911 Stainless.
I want one with a picatinny rail.
Much prefer a FTF transfer.
PM me if you know of anything.
