1.5 million+ guns sold in Dec.

Over 1.5 million background checks on customers were requested in December. Nearly 500,000 of those were in the six days before Christmas. It was the highest number ever in a single month,

I think I picked up three or four. Not nearly enough.

People are waking up and getting ready.

I picked up a few myself, but I don't think they're reflected in those numbers, so they might be substaintially higher. If they were, I'd be upset. I did pick up one documented gun and another slide to go with it, but the other ones shouldn't show up in any one's numbers, but mine. Just trying to do my part to help this economy.

awesome. we gonna turn this economy around if we keep this up. especially if we happen to buy american guns.

I bought 3 or 4 in december, may buy another tomorrow... Crap , im turning into 'neck

yep I haven't bought a gun in 2 years since I have had my MFP

It would be interesting to see what the total number would be if the number bought by permit holders was added in. I know that none of mine are in that total.
