17. Easily accounted for...
Thu Nov 5, 2015, 09:27 PM
Nov 2015

50% were bought by 12 white, old, southern, redneck teabaggers, 21% were bought by 6 racist militia members and buried in the woods for use against the government someday, 18% were straw purchases and taken to Chicago, 8.9% were straw purchases taken to NYC, 2% were straw purchases in the rest of the country and .1% were hunters adding to their collection.

Since we have accounted for 100% of the sales it is clear that none were purchased by first time buyers. Numbers don't lie.

And we know the numbers are correct because tipping point and stuff,
