It was nice to see these enterprising girl scouts at the local gun show in Yuma, Arizona. They were quite busy, and sold a lot of product. Their table was next the the AZCDL table where I was busy giving away free .22 ammunition. A good time was had by all.
People at gun shows tend to be a standard deviation more responsible than the average American, who tends to outclass the world population in responsibility by a good bit. Those who attend gun shows are very responsible and polite people, more educated than average, more informed about the world, more politically savvy, and with higher ethical standards.
It is hard to separate out the cause from the effect in the gun culture. Are more responsible people attracted to guns, or do guns tend to make people more responsible? It may be a complex feedback loop. Certainly, populations in the United States that have higher levels of gun ownership tend to be better educated, more prosperous, and have much lower crime rates.

Maybe that’s the gameplan. The same way Obama praises the military in public but hides his hate in the legislation he asks for.

“I would rather be ruled by the first 100 people in the door at the Yuma Gun Show than by the U.S. Senate.
WADR, rethink that statement. Their job is to SERVE us, not to RULE us! TERM LIMITS, NOW AND FOREVER!’
Mea Culpa.
Yes, the proper phrasing should have been: I would rather be represented by the first 100 people in the door at the Yuma Gun Show.

Thank you!
It seems to me that its almost a witch hunt with the Girl Scouts based on very shaky allegations that seem to only exist in internet blogs. There is a ton of misinformation out there about the Girl Scouts floating around the internet. Dont take it all at face value. I have looked through the various anti-GSA sites and found that they all link each other and re-circulate the same stories. And the merry-go-round of recirculating stories tends to pop up every February when the cookies go on sale. Hummm...
