Golfboy Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 So much for the liberal claim that we don't do background checks... http://cnsnews.com/blog/gregory-gwyn-williams-jr/73441399-gun-purchase-background-checks-under-obama-nj-spikes-41-may There have been 73,441,399 background checks for gun purchases since President Obama took office, according to data released by the FBI. In 2009, the FBI conducted 14,033,824 background checks. If we subtract the month of January (Obama did not assume office until the end of the month) we get 12,819,939. The FBI conducted 14,409,616 background checks in 2010, 16,454,951 in 2011, and 19,592,303 in 2012. Add to that the first five months of 2013 (2,495,440, 2,309,393, 2,209,407, 1,714,433 and 1,435,917 respectively) and the total number of background checks under President Obama comes to 73,441,399. Obama has been president for 1,593 days or 38,232 hours which equals 137,635,200 seconds. In other words, Americans are purchasing guns approximately every 30 seconds! Too bad Obama can't generate jobs at the same rate he motivated people to buy guns... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
