Also indicative of the upward trend in firearm sales, the number of national instant check transactions rose 24.5 percent in the first six months of 2009 compared to the first six months in 2008, the greatest increase since NICS’ inception in 1998. Through the end of October, NICS transactions rose18 percent, compared to the same period in 2008.
More Guns Means More Crime? Hardly. In 2009, more guns meant less crime, in a very, very big way.

2009 is going to have been a really tough year for Liberals, coldest year in a long time. Snowiest year in 50 years, Health Care passed House and Senate, and now this.

This will require more study. As of January 1, 2010, all liberals shall relocated to Vermont. There will be no guns allowed; free health care; 100% income tax; free education; full retirement benefits; no military; 100% living-wage jobs; no evil corporations; food stamps for all; no Bibles; no anti-immigration laws; and free insulation for all homes. After 10 years, we will review the social consequences of these utopian, liberal dreams.
Have fun, Libbies!

“FBI Reports Huge Decrease in Murders as Gun Sales Soar”
Let me rephrase this article, in MSM lingo:
“FBI Reports Huge Decrease in Murders DESPITE Soaring Gun Sales”

I suppose DumBO will take credit, since, his election drove people to buy guns.

Not good news for the Brady Bunch band of anti-gun nuts. Probably part of the same bunch who wonder why there are more people in prison if the crime rates are going down. Idiots all.

And this is during a horrible economy when crime rates typically rise. The MSM will dutifully ignore this, of course.
