I haven't heard an ad with Savage's voice lately. It was a Northern California gun dealer where he said he lives on the 1st Amendment and Americans must embrace the 2nd.

All this talk about hollow-point ammo makes me hope personal gun sales are still up. On some radio show I heard Japan didn't go after our mainland because they heard the citizens were armed.

“Japan didn’t go after our mainland because they heard the citizens were armed.”

Supposedly bogus per wikipedia.

“
You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass. It has been declared this attribution is “unsubstantiated and almost certainly bogus, even though it has been repeated thousands of times in various Internet postings. There is no record of the commander in chief of Japan’s wartime fleet ever saying it.”, according to Brooks Jackson in “Misquoting Yamamoto” at Factcheck.org (11 May 2009)”

ps. hollow points were/are used so that the bullet does not over penetrate and hit somethign beyond what you are shooting at. They do fragment and make a mess when hitting a living creature. (I think Reagan was shot with .22 hollow points)
