25, a more than tenfold increase!

This leads to verse 89 of the Obama impeachment song (as if sung by President Barack Hussein Obama to the tune of “Please release me, let me go”)
Legal guns must disappear
so terrorists go free and clear.
Smith and Wesson clap and cheer,
I am their top salesman of the year.
