That’s right. In one month alone Americans made themselves and this nation safer (from enemies foreign and domestic) by choosing to exercise one our most precious rights–the right to own a firearm.

I think Thomas Jefferson would be especially pleased with this news when we consider a letter he sent to one of his nephews:

“A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the Body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind . . . Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks.” –Thomas Jefferson, Letter to his nephew Peter Carr, August 19, 1785

Another 1,000,000+ Guns Added to American Homes in August

Data released by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) reported 1,074,757 checks in August 2009, a 12.3 percent increase from the 956,872 reported in August 2008.

Some of those checks were undoubtedly for multiple firearms :)

Let me once again ask the main question; Where is the corresponding increase of blood in the streets?

Thanks for the heads up on this...great news! You know I heard Beck say again tonight that we MUST watch what Zero’s other hand is doing, again! While the focus was on the healthcare speech, Cass Sunstein was being approved by members of the Senate earlier today. His nomination should be announced tomorrow. Beck said that aside from his animals need lawyers, & no hunting, Cass is also against the 2nd Ammendment - the right to bear arms!

Has anyone heard anymore to this?

I would love to “convert” Tammy.

In fact I did buy a sweet 28 ga shotgun for my petite (100 lbs) girlfriend to use. I’m teaching her to shoot and she loves pistol shooting. Wants to try clays next so I thought she could handle the 28ga.

Hopefully September will be another great month. I just did my part and picked up a HK45 this afternoon, which had been on order for months. Apparently the HK factory can't keep up with all this demand.

Wonder how many are new owners

I’ve been wondering for a while, when and how did Tammy Bruce turn from liberal to “conservative”? I mean it’s like she is Berny Golberg II. WHen he first showed up on FNC he was a self described “liberal” then in a short amount of time he morphed into a “conservative”.

[jdfromny]

I read her stuff once in a while. Her book The Death of Right and Wrong was pretty good. Hey, we need as many people as we can get to fight the Red Whore(d)(sic).

[flowerplough]

Hope alot of ‘em are handguns that start with the number 4. Friends don’t let friends shoot 9mms

[jdfromny]

and end in 5
