Spike in gun sales - Public confidence wanes in the US

Another indicator that the people have lost all hope in the public sector is the recent rise in gun sales across America. Gun sales rose 8.3% in the past year, according to the FBI National Instant Background Check System (NICS). Over 1.33 million guns were legally acquired in October alone.

The people do not trust the government to protect them. We have seen the deliberate migrant invasion sweet across the nation. Crime has risen in every major US city and the laws in place prevent the police from arresting criminals. The Israel-Hamas rallies were another tipping point as people are watching their fellow Americans rip down flags and violently take to the streets.

There are about 500 million privately owned guns in the US. The Second Amendment is our key to freedom from an oppressive government. Simply look at history - Hitler confiscated the guns, Mao confiscated the guns, Stalin confiscated the guns, Kim Jung-Il confiscated the guns, Pol Pot confiscated the guns, and Chavez confiscated the guns to name a few. Governments have historically removed the right to bear arms before implementing the most oppressive regimes imaginable. It has happened countless times throughout history, and yet, there are still those who believe we would be safer without the ability to protect ourselves.

The Second Amendment promises Americans: "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. That means any gun restrictions are completely unconstitutional. Laws are NEVER implemented to protect the people, but rather, they are implemented to control us.

"Laws are NEVER implemented to protect the people, but rather, they are implemented to control us."

Nailed it.

We are the first to stand up because of the second amendment. And those currently attempting to take down the country are flummoxed as to what to do about it, so the false flags and propaganda continue. Never give up, never surrender, because they certainly won't! God help the innocents.

Where did this information come from? Seems very low and doesn't account for the millions that are unregistered.

I live in Florida where most people own multiple guns. On Friday, I was in a local gun shop where I met a local business mogul who owns 9,000 guns, pistols, handguns and rifles. Yes, he is a millionaire and it's an accumulation of 50 years however, I agree whole heartedly that the tyrannical OBiden Regime wants them all real bad.

I'm really starting to think this gun bullshit AGAIN is just more theatrics and another distraction, after what we witnessed in Calf. and Hawaii!!! Guns are quickly becoming obsolete against new technologies, when we can buy a direct energy weapon online then maybe the scales will start to balance again.

Governments are very prepared for armed uprisings by their people and actively push the public to be more violent as a means of control. If we truly want to change our government for the better, we’ll need to do it peacefully.
