One year ago this month, President Obama announced that radical gun control was the top of his agenda for his second term. Although he failed to get any of the gun bans or government registrations passed on the federal level, he was successful in one area. His actions convinced millions of Americans to buy more firearms than any time in history.

The FBI reported that it performed an astounding 21,093,273 background checks for the year ending Dec. 31, which is 8 percent higher than 2012, which was also a huge year for gun sales leading up to the election.

Put in context, National Instant Background Check System (NICS) checks have gone up a whopping 66 percent since Mr. Obama came to the White House.

"Political Agenda Backfires?"
In a world where "spend spend spend" & "buy buy buy" seem to be the mantra, maybe record sales are at least part of a (shorter term) "agenda"?
I dont know how significant it might be, but Im sure someone is happy with any boost in copper demand as well.

The last major push for gun control at the Federal level backfired as well. When the first Federal "assault weapon" ban was pushed through, ARs and AKs were basically cult rifles with relatively few owners. Not anymore. The assault rifle ban turned them into the most popular rifles in the country. Ha. After decades of gun control attempts, the American public, in aggregate, are FAR better armed than ever before.
