2,030,530 last month.

I can't wait to see what February and March look like.

I think Trump will be a better gun salesman than Obama was.

As long as you can buy them anyways.

How many "Prohibited Persons" are there in this free country.?.

I honestly can not find a number,,,

all manner of description and attempted justification,,, but not a number of how many people are denied a basic human right.

Millions and millions, I'm sure Pete.

Too bad the GOP is what it is, we might have actually made some progress on repealing these laws.

Fat chance now.

I'm sure,, and am also sure a great many have no good reason to be prohibited.

I had a happy fantasy about the pendulum swing righting a few wrongs. but now it seems as nothing more that profits shifting.

Looks like Trump's first year had two million fewer than Obama's last year.

Some will be repeat sales, like out of state sales of used firearms, pawn shop deals, etc.

Yes, because they thought, foolishly, that a GOP House, GOP Senate, and GOP President would mean that the gun control issue was a dead letter from here out.

HAH - HAH!

Suckers!!

Lol... it is dead..


Just one day after putting the NRA on the defensive with stunning televised comments (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/03/01/trump-puts-nra-on-defensive-with-stunning-gun-comments.html), President Trump has signaled in an Oval Office meeting that he doesn't want gun control, according to the NRA's top lobbyist.
Chris Cox, the executive director of the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action, tweeted late Thursday that "POTUS & VPOTUS support the Second Amendment, support strong due process and don’t want gun control."
I had a great meeting tonight with @realDonaldTrump (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) & @VP (https://twitter.com/VP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw). We all want safe schools, mental health reform and to keep guns away from dangerous people. POTUS & VPOTUS support the Second Amendment, support strong due process and don’t want gun control. #NRA (https://twitter.com/hashtag/NRA?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) #MAGA (https://twitter.com/hashtag/MAGA?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)

About an hour later, Trump appeared to endorse Cox's version of events with a tweet of his own: "Good (Great) meeting in the Oval Office tonight with the NRA!"

He probably doesn't trust Trump anyway, I don't completely myself.
(EDIT: see above)

Even if Trump isn't going to enact any gun control in the future he may "bluff" again after another shooting to help gun sales again.

Wow, really??

Have you ever had a gambling problem? I feel bad taking advantage of people's weaknesses..

Maybe if donnay approves, I don't want to cause any rifts..
