Americans are in a better position to defend themselves and their families after another record month of gun sales.

Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting, which tracks gun sales and federal background check statistics, reported that another 1.7 million guns were purchased throughout the country in the month of May, which is a record during what is generally a slower month.

The numbers represent an 80 percent increase in sales from the same time last year.

Mark Oliva, a spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the gun industry trade group, told the Washington Free Beacon in a statement that 40 percent of the guns sold recently were to first-time buyers. Of those new gun owners, Oliva said, 40 percent of them were women.

A 26-year-old woman outside a Georgia gun store told USA Today on Monday she was buying a firearm after a portion of her Atlanta neighborhood was damaged during a riot.

“During the times we’re living in, you just never know what might happen,” Angel Rambert told the paper.

“At first, I was surprised at the number of people, but I was happy to see so many of us exercising our amendments,” she added.

I checked the usual online vendors - virtually wiped out. Unprecedented...

Ammo is short, make every shot a winner.

The guy that sells reloading supplies said people have been coming in and buying everything up by the case. He also said he reordered from the supplier but there was no way to know how long it would take to get it in. :-/

These are available legally to the sheriff's posse in small, rural counties. After the Hyperinflation and Global Cooling combined with over population makes food scarce and expensive, the cities will be destroyed by race riots. Small town America will have to defend itself.

Watched an interesting utube video about that guy, and an unexplained murder of his business partner.

Will see if I can find again. And, ya, that gun is a beauty.
