Nice little rant, but it shows both no reading comprehension and a disregard for data.

Point 1: the theme is that gun buyers buy into the hysteria. Since I didn't buy any guns, apparently I didn't find the lobby frightening.

Point 2: the data is the data. Provide alternate and supported interpretations if you like. Pretending it's not there is just irrational.

It's not entirely hysteria . Clinton tried and almost succeeded banning an entire class of firearms. Obama wanted to take it further.

I assure you there will be no credible citation of either.

I guess you've never heard of the nutsucker Clintons assault weapon ban.

Well, that would be because the article the OP addresses is about gun sales in the Obama and Trump years.

That's why it doesn't say anything about Bush or Reagan or Jefferson for that matter.

I dont remember Obama signing any type of shit like that.

It wasn't for lack of trying. He would have signed that shit given the chance.

Neither did Obama. But the gullible quintupled gun purchases believing it, and stopped when Trump was elected, slowing sales.

That's what the article is about. Think you follow now?

Of course, I remember the 50+ times that he introduced that gun repeal..........no, wait that was the nutsuckers on obamacare.
I remember he called for sensible gun laws, NICS on private sales and closing loopholes in gunshow and getting NICS to work, but that was simply rhetoric, he didnt TRY any of it.

Reagan and Nixon did a lot of gun banning in office.

Jefferson banned guns at the Uni of VA.

So, there is that deal that nutsuckers are gun grabbing permabanners.

But as noted, the article wasnt about them banning guns.

He also pushed for banning semi-annual assault weapons whatever those are.

ETA: no one has a problem with tightening up background checks. Gun show loophole is a buzz word for trying to fool people into thinking they don't do background checks at gun shows when in reality the libs want background checks for private sales and exchanges thus opening the back door for registration. I haven't ever heard much in the way of anything sensible concerning guns from Democrats.

Semi auto assault weapons are a work of fiction to scare people in to banning semi automatics.
These things are what pass for "sensible" gun control. And every one of them are aimed , not at criminals, but at legitimate gun owners.

Obama pushed for a return of the guns that look like assault weapons ban. He also told us that something about it being easier for a minor to get an "assault weapon" than a loaf of bread. But why should we think he wanted to grab guns?

Absolutely, and it's especially absurd considering that less than a fraction of a percent of rifles of any kind of are used out of all crimes committed.
