But whatever the "actual" numbers, doesn't change the point -- it's a saturated market.

Yet, gun manufactures have doubled their output since 2009:

Obama (and a gullible gun-buying public) are the best thing that ever happened to gun manufacturers in the US.


This post, specifically this statement? FSU's Kleck calls this an "Obama effect." High-profile shootings and talk of changing gun laws "motivates gun owners to get more guns, and perhaps some non-owners to get one 'while the getting is good,'" he said. This is despite the fact that Congress has not passed any changes to federal firearm legislation since early 2008.



Isn't a saturated market when there is so much of a product that in order to make any profit you have to cut your profits to the lowest level you can manage? Or to the point where sales drop off to almost nothing?

Allegedly I am not the one to ask with regards to how companies and profits work. ;)

Gary Kleck, whom you cited, estimated there were roughly 2.5 million instances of defensive gun use versus roughly 500,000 instances of gun crime in 1993. An additional study by Mr. Kleck showed victims forcibly resisting rape attempts are more likely to "avoid the completion of rape" than those who do not resist. Combining these two studies would indicate an armed female populace is preferred.

Mr. Kleck's research also found higher firearm ownership rates reduced homicide rates and adding more police officers does not decrease the amount of crime.

Which gun grabbers are doing quite successfully, when will you guys figure out that all you accomplish is selling more guns, and turning more people agaist you. Does Obama have stock in Smith and Wesson?

I'd hope it'd be Ruger; their stock seems to be performing better.

Considering how well he does everything else I would actually expect it to be Jennings.

Bama? Hello? You OK?

Because that's what I've been saying for a while now. Peddling the "Oh no! Gun Grabbing Obama is coming!" keeps the cash register ringing--to the tune of double the annual sales before the 2008 election...even though it never happens.

In short--we're in agreement here. Imagine.

If he does own Smith & Wesson, he's doing quite well!

If he invests as good as he does everything else he likely bought Jenings stock.
It isn't a plot.
He comes up with stuff that he admits wouldn't stop the tragedy he claims to be responding to. it only gives more government control. Do you realized that his package after Sandy Hook, that died in congress, would have been a slow motion ban of all semi-automatics. Then he and gungrabbers like you claim a plot by gun companies and paranoia by pro 2nd amendment people.




Musicmystery -> RE: Alarming statistics (10/10/2015 7:57:17 PM)

Your paranoia is showing again.

I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of banning guns. Try again.

It's not a "plot" -- it's opportunism and manufacturing fake gun-grab crises that, apparently people like you, believe, even in the face of a complete lack of evidence.

And the sales keep going up, even though everybody's already got their guns.

A gullible world, to be sure.

There was a provision in the post Sandy Hook package that all semi-automatics would be put in the same classification as full auto weapons. All semi-auto owners would have to go through the same lisensing process as those buying full auto.
They would have been given a break in that they would not have to pay the 200 dollar fee. However they could never transfer the weapon, either by sale or by leaving it to someone. No more semi-autos could be sold. Thus those semi-autos currently in circulation would be the last ones, and as they went back to the government they would disapear. This is a slow motion ban. You may not call for a ban but I'll bet you supported this bill without knowing this was in it. Do you like Austalia's laws, they say it isn't a ban because they allow single shot weapons but everything else is banned. Again big time banning. They make it sound so reasonable but the more you know the more of a ban it becomes. Most of the people who support these things don't support bans but they are disguised as something else.

It was all in the proposed legislation. Clinton actually managerd to get some fairly damaging shit passed. A little paranoia is fine with me, especially if it results in further entrenching gun owners. And not everyone had their AR15's yet.




ifmaz -> RE: Alarming statistics (10/10/2015 10:08:32 PM)

Police seize firearms in the wake of Katrina, the failed attempt to reclassify common 5.56mm ammunition as armor piercing in order to ban it, Obama's voting history in the context of firearms, or Hillary Clinton's promise to revive the Assault Weapons Ban.

Unfound paranoia indeed.

Hmmmmm......the SKS certainly has its merrits and I would certainly support your right to own either.

If you insist on simply ping-ponging between extremes, my perception is that you and your tribe see ANY legislation as a "slow-motion ban."

It's why I take very little of what you say seriously.

How can you say that something that removes any given item from society is not banning it?
"Grandfather" clauses that allow those in society to stay, for a while, slowing down there confiscation are puting the ban in slow motion.
I am glad to see you take me more seriously than I take you.
