The Second Amendment guarantees Americans the right to bear arms, and recent data show the U.S. is putting its money where its mouth is: FBI background checks show that firearms sales have surged in the last three months.
According the FBI, background checks, the most reliable gauge of gun sales, surged from 1,803,397 in November to a record 2,309,684 in December. This is compared to the two million from December 2013. |

Our political establishment ought to take note. Citizens aren't spending scarce "post-tax" dollars FTHOI ! With the collapsing economy police enforcement is becoming a "sometime thing". Political pressure on LEOs to be "politically correct" in dealing with an increasingly restive/insurgent minority populations is eating scarce PD budgets and manpower in huge bites. Some PDs have advised their citizens they are their own "first line of defense" .
While political opportunists continue to foment social/racial/ethic conflict the nation's leadership has abandoned the helm for the golf course. We're rudderless in a stormy sea of national and international conflict. And our "mates", (Congress) are fighting over seats in the lifeboats. |
