Firearm sales in USA have TRIPLED since 2000

Every state is involved in their production, even Hawaii; according to the gun makers, anyway. Way more than most people realize.

foreign military sales have quintupled or so since 2000, depending on who you want to use as a source.

Last time I checked, US has as much military spending as the top 10 spenders combined, including China and Russia. Sources disagree somewhat depending on what you consider to be military spending.

Chances are very good the USA arms your country; we do make the very best in weapons, since we have been at war since 1911

The USA has been smuggling weapons since the Brown Bess rifle

I remember when the world entered the information age and wars started being fought by information instead of bullets but people still want you to believe gun ownership is going to keep you safe somehow against misinformation in the information age we now live in
