During Barack Obama's presidency there have been 32 background checks for gun purchases every minute.
Since February of 2009, the first full month of Obama's presidency, there have been 70,291,049 background checks for gun purchases, according to data released by the FBI.
Using February 1, 2009 as our starting date, and March 31, 2013 as our end date, (the latest data from the FBI) Obama has been president for 1,520 days.
That equates to 36,480 hours, or 2,188,800 minutes.
Divide the 70,291,049 background checks by 2,188,800 minutes and you get approximately 32 checks for gun purchases every minute!

Ultimately, you have to fault the system, not "king Obama". How do you change the system effectively? That's the 1.3 Trillion dollar question.edit on 10-4-2013 by MysteriousHusky because: spelling

So people say that Obama is the greatest gun salesman yet, now we're up to almost 70.3 million background checks under king Obama. This tells me that Americans are firm in their stance against what this administration is trying to pull off. Now, we'll get the critics and nay-sayers that will just call us all paranoid conspiracy theorists.

So with ALLLL of the huge amounts of gun sales, and so many people with guns along with all of the other people with guns..
Why are we not having sandyhooks every day and mass murders at every school and town and biz everywhere, why is it not pandemonium out there with gun violence if guns are so bad and everyone is going to die because of guns...
The numbers for gun deaths is broken down into several categories:
Suicide: 18,735 deaths
Homicide: 11,493 deaths
Unintentional: 554 deaths
Legal interventions: 333 deaths
Undetermined: 232 deaths
Total: 31,347 deaths
The second data set tracks non-fatal injuries by guns. According to the CDC, there were 73,505 non-fatal firearm injuries in 2010. (We will ignore an additional 13,851 non-fatal injuries from BB or pellet guns.)

If you want to talk about spending taxpayer money, maybe we should turn to the several wars funded during the Bush administration. *drops mic

The man thinks he is above us. So we will call him King Obama. He had a chance to be the best president that we've ever had and instead he does this bullsh*t.

No.
He's the President . He's also the same guy who pushes his own ideals on the American public at the cost of the American public. He gets No slack. The cult of personality comes with a price.
