Now for some evidence as to why Sarah and Osama are smiling, read the following domestic terrorist propaganda, published since 9/11 and posted at the links from the MMM website below:

Handgun Sales Plummet in California to Lowest Level in 30 Years
Handgun sales in California have dropped to the lowest level in 30 years, according to new data from the state Department of Justice released on Nov. 6. Handgun sales this year are on track to be the lowest in the nation's most populous state since California began keeping such records in 1972, despite a brief upswing following the September terrorist attacks.
Through the end of October, handgun sales are down by 16 percent compared to the same period last year and down by 35 percent compared to the first 10 months of 1999.
"Despite the gun lobby's hype following the terrorist attacks, handgun sales have fallen dramatically over the last decade because most Californians don't want handguns anywhere near their kids or their neighborhoods," said Luis Tolley, Western Director of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. "This huge decrease in handgun sales over the last 10 years represents a seismic shift in attitudes toward handguns. More and more families are deciding that their families are safer without having handguns lying around."
When our rights are recognized right up there with civil right for minorities, then we'll have won the battle.
State Attorney Generals are required by law to defend constitutional rights against infringement. There isn't an AG in this nation that wouldn't jump in if a minority individual's rights were being infringed. Fat chance getting them to do that for gun owners.
The penalities are severe. They should be brought to bare.
People who care more about conservatism than they do about a treacherous party are happy to have a eunuch in the governor's seat. Earley could have gotten everything Warner wanted passed because of his party affiliation. People are wise to the GOP's duplicity and are starting to drift away. Your fear mongering over what Warner would like to do is pitiful. It didn't work during the campaign and it won't work now.
Maryland is in worse shape than Virginia. Direct your efforts toward home.

SAN DIEGO -- Gun sales spiked after the terrorist attacks and the number of background checks for them is way up in California.
People on both sides of gun control issues say Americans have a growing sense of vulnerability, and owning guns makes them feel more secure. Between September 10th and Sunday, California logged more than 18,000 background checks for gun purchases. That's up by five thousand from last year.

Some politicians believe it is possible to specify everything that might be used as a weapon and make them illegal. Of course, we know that the real solution is to go after the people who misuse whatever, but that would imply personal responsibility, wouldn't it?
Gun Sales Boom in California After Terror Attacks The gun sales in California have skyrocketed dramatically as many people buy guns to boost safety after the September 11 terror attacks, the Justice Department said Friday.
The department said there was a significant increase in gun sales in the last two weeks after terrorists rammed hijacked airliners into the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, killing about 6,000 people.
More than 9,000 guns were sold in California in the week of the September 11 attacks, 31 percent up over the same week of last year, the department said.
Last week, the numbers jumped even higher. A total of 9,556 guns were sold in a seven-day period, 6,000 more than the same week last year.
Some people are also buying targets with the face of Osama bin Laden printed on it, and the group selling the targets is donating the profits to a charitable organization.
Another tidbit from same site/same date.

This is so absurd! Back home in CA, some guy shot a deputy while going through a metal detector in Family Court. There was a big study about security. I know for a fact that most attorneys and judges decided to just carry as the cure!
