WASHINGTON (CNN) -- December holiday shoppers were not just interested in buying the hottest electronics and toys -- they also were purchasing record numbers of guns, according to the latest FBI figures on background checks required to buy firearms. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/12/27/us/record-gun-sales/?hpt=us_c1
"The research we've seen indicates fewer and fewer people are owning more and more guns," said Caroline Brewer of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. "All the trends indicate the number of Americans who own guns has declined." I call bullshit. The latest stats show an increase of gun ownership among Democrats. (of course someone could call bullshit on my statement, then we'll have a round of duelling links or duelling banjo's if it gets messy).
The 1.3% denied permission won't find it hard to acquire guns. And who exactly are all these guns going to shoot ? Politicians if they have any sense would be high on the list, then there are those immigrants down the road and ... and...... A recipe for disaster imho but deserved rough justice maybe Why not revive high noon shootouts on main street ? or re-enactments of the shootout at the OK coral with live ammo.
The IRS added more guns this year - http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2010/02/05/the-irs-shotgun/ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2010/02/irs_riding_shotgun_for_obama.html

Those who lean left will understand the run up in debt during Barry's first term. Those who lean right will just look at the chart and say see, spending is out of control. This is why the country should be split in two. There really is no point in educating these people as the minute they understand something, they will default back into looney tune land. (The y axis will no doubt cause problems for some people.)
