In the words of Thomas Anderson....
...."Guns....lots of guns":
FBI background checks, the most reliable measure of gun sales, surged in December, capping a year that experienced strong growth in the last three months.
Now let me see, what happened in the last quarter of the year that could possibly have encourage Americans to go out and arm (or further arm) themselves? Hmmmmm.....
Background checks totaled more than 2.3 million in December, according to the FBI, compared to about 2 million in the same period in 2013.
While sales increased nationwide, there were sporadic reports of a spurt in people buying guns after local incidents of violence.
…Background checks totaled more than 1.5 million in August, a considerable increase from about 1.4 million in the prior month.
There was another pick up in October, to 1.6 million, and in November, to 1.8 million.
The December tally of 2.3 million, was bolstered in part by a strong holiday gun shopping season and a record Black Friday, when there was 175,000 background checks just on that one day. [emphasis added]
So nationwide gun sales increased over fifty percent December over August and on the day after Thanksgiving at an equivalent monthly rate of three and a half times the August baseline. I guess that's to be expected when people watch radicals and hooligans burning down one town and city after another and threatening to burn down the entire country, holding all of us effective hostages to their extortionistic demands. And presiding over it all, the Insurrectionist-in-Chief himself.
But this, too, serves his "fundamental transformation" purposes, even if it isn't doing his gun-control crusade any favors. In his mind, the better armed whites are, the greater the chance of more Trayvon Martins, Michael Browns, and Eric Garners, only not limited to just the police paradigm, but to all of "white America". Barack Obama doesn't just want the symbolism of turning blacks against whites; he literally wants every last black turned against every last white in an interracial bloodbath that only he can "prevent" through the imposition of martial law and the assumption of "temporary" "emergency" powers - that he would, of course, never relinquish.
If any of you still don't understand why a militant gun-grabber would pursue policy tactics that encourage precisely the opposite result, now you know.
I'll ask again: Still think he's "incompetent"?
