| Resister User ID: 669410 United States02/12/2013 01:31 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Something to think about: The 65 million is the number of background checks, not the number of guns. You can buy more than one at a time and although most gun sales are through official FFL dealers, family and friends aren't counted in that number. How many people got a christmas present like that from dear ol' dad last year? 65 million people bought guns through official FFL dealers. More people bought, gifted, and or traded more. What I don't get is why progressives can't see that they are the very ones feeding the fire. Gun sales have doubled from 2008 to 2012 and it's all because progressive liberal rhetoric is being taken seriously. I guess they really are that stupid. They think gun free zones will reduce violent crime (it doesn't) so using the same faulty logic, they must be able to ignore reality and think talking about new gun rights infringement laws and arming the DHS to the teeth will reduce gun sales and ownership. Friggin progressive liberal idiots. Ya just gotta laugh.  "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |
