”
More than 2.5 million gun background checks were performed in January, a record for the month, according to FBI statistics.
The number was lower than the 3.3 million all-time record set in December, but the most for the month of January in any year since the checks began in late 1998.”

Comment: I am guessing Obama is going to receive the ‘Salesman of The Year’ award from the NRA once again. I look at the VIX to see how the markets may be doing, how much stress or fear is in the markets. I watch the gun sales figures for a similar reason, to gauge the ‘stress’ of Americans. I would say the ‘Fear Factor’ is high in both accounts. Got Gold ?
