The United States is the most heavily armed nation in world history, and it seems we have President Barack Obama to thank for it.
Before you ask: we’re not talking about the U.S. military, we’re talking about the firearms owned by the general population. The National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) estimates that there are roughly 300 million firearms in the United States — and of those, nearly 40 million new firearms have been sold just since Barack Obama came into office in 2009….
Manufacturers were running full-bore, but couldn’t come close to keeping up with market demand. It wasn’t just the AR-15s, the AK-pattern rifles, the M1As, and the FALs that were sold out. It really hit me when I realized that the World War-era M1 Garands, M1 carbines, and Enfield .303s were gone, along with every last shell. Ubiquitous Mosin-Nagants — of which every gun store always seems to have 10-20 — were gone. So was their ammo. Only a dust free space marked their passing. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Every weapon of military utility designed within the past 100+ years was gone …

that 300 million number has been around forever, it is wildly speculative and can't be verified in any way by anyone. personally, i hope it's twice that high! firepower is the ONLY thing that tyrants fear or respect.
The Black Panther PREZ has a surprise coming as well as the left Nut-Cases when they attempt to disarm us....
Great videos at the end!
This is why there buying up all of the ammo, guns are useless without bullets.
That's the great thing about muzzle loaders, black power and lead is all you need. Most avid shooter reload rounds and are well stocked with supplies.
As history has shown us, over and over and over again, we're going to need it.
