Locked and Loaded: Guess Which Industry Is Thriving While Everyone Else Teeters on the Edge of Failure
As consumer retail giants like Best Buy, which saw a 90% decline in net income in the second quarter of 2012, struggle for survival amid the worst economic crisis to hit the globe since the Great Depression of the 1930′s, there’s one industry that’s not only maintained its growth, but is showing record profits month after month.
This is no doubt a terrifying trend for those who’d prefer to “hug it out” with mass shooters or violent criminals in modern day domestic war zones like Chicago, Illinois. For the rest of us, however, it’s a no brainer considering the rising tide of crime, the potential for an economic collapse that drives society to chaos, and a political climate that would like nothing more than to see Americans be forced into defending themselves with sticks and stones.
A large number of Americans see what’s coming, and they’re taking their personal safety and protection into their own hands, as evidenced by the following chart showing gun manufacturer Smith and Wesson’s quarterly revenue growth:
When the final bubble does pop (and here we make the wild assumption that no intelligent extraterrestrial life will be found to bail out the central banks in time), at least everyone will be locked and loaded. (Via Zero Hedge)
Year over year Smith and Wesson has seen growth of 48% (a number that must have left Solyndra executives and the Obama administration bewildered), and they are showing no signs of a slow-down. Likewise, other gun manufacturers are seeing record growth – and backlogs – as Ruger recently had to suspend new firearms orders citing “overwhelming demand.”
As was previously noted, over 10 million guns were sold in the United States in 2011, and 2012 is is going to be even bigger – something that should scare the crap out of anyone who’d ever think to invade or enslave the free people of the United States.
Violent criminals out there should take note – law abiding Americans aren’t going to sit back and take this lying down anymore.

I am in the “buy a gun” camp. However, my concern is not for “personal safety”, but for food.
I think military suppliers of modern weapons are also doing very well.
Your U.S government just purchased somewhere in the neighborhood of approximately
1.2 billion……………..rounds of hollow point bullets. Guaranteed not for target practice. Guess who the recipients are? Homeland Security and FEMA. Google search “Flying over FEMA camps and spread the word that these facilities are not bed and breakfast institutions but were built for those who will stand up when SHTF. One in Alaska can hold 500,000! Check out “FEMA Coffins while your at it. It isn’t just a U.S problem but a Global war that is being waged on every nation. What do/did Libya, Afghanistan, Syria and Iran have in common? They don’t want to join the Wall Street club of International Bankers. Libya joined immediately after It was overthrown. Power never comes from the down trodden. Power always comes from above. Want to find out who is behind it all and who controls the White House….follow the money trail…Research “House of Rothschild” Part 1 and Part 2. They are ready for check mate!
