Since 2008 gun sales have soared throughout the United States. The Anti-Gun crowd has been fighting tooth and nail to get bills passed through legislation to thwart those sales. You will soon see on the news Anti-Gun Bill after Anti-Gun Bill as they work through the legislation process and come before Congress. I would like you to keep in mind a FBI report that has just been released.

Let us also keep in mind with rising gun sales the anti-gun crowd will tell you that crime will rise. With the latest report from the FBI crime it is safe to say that myth spread by anti-gun activists is debunked. Based on a released FBI report a NRA News Brief was released saying..

"The number of murders in the first half of 2009 decreased 10 percent compared to the first half of 2008. If the trend holds for the remainder of 2009, it will be the single greatest one-year decrease in the number of murders since at least 1960, the earliest year for which national data are available through the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Also, the per capita murder rate for 2009 will be 51 percent lower than the all-time high recorded in 1991, and it will be the lowest rate since 1963—a 46-year low. Final figures for 2009 will be released by the FBI next year."

They might as well finish the wimped out anti-gun establishment's desires to erase the Second Amendment. And don't forget, guns sprout legs and blow their top all by themselves. Nevermind that they'll have hard proof when the final figures are released. It won't be good enough for the anti-gun folks, and they will still keep lobbying. Oh and the diehards like me will still say you can have my gun when you pry it out of my cold dead hand.

It is that Gun Owners have the LOWEST crime rate in the Nation.

We are also the safest homes to visit and to party in with our family.

Criminals know that they risk their useless evil Godless lifes, if they invade one of our homes.

But to a politician, the life of a Criminal means more to him than you.

The day we lose our Constitutional rights and liberties, is the day that we will have an open police state.

With foreign soldiers hired by the International Bankers patrolling our streets.

2) Legal firearms increase the odds that a criminal will target an armed citizen.
3) Lead implantation therapy cuts recidivism by 100%
