Gun Sales Up
A recurring theme.
In Knoxville: Area gun sales increasing, cops on board with carry permits
Firearms manufacturing up, specifically handguns and rifles.
NSSF says:
Despite a weak economy, gun sales are continuing to increase amid concerns that incoming lawmakers will institute a new gun ban on law-abiding Americans. Data derived from the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) show a 24 percent increase in firearm purchaser background checks for the month of December 2008 (1,523,426 checks) over December 2007 (1,230,525 checks). This increase follows a 42 percent rise in NICS checks for the preceding month, the highest number of checks in NICS history.

“And it will make Sarah Brady cry.”
Any time I buy a new class of gun, I always try to get the one that scare Nancy Pelosi the most. My first shotgun, was a Remington 870 tarted up by Wilson Combat. It fit the bill nicely.

Told you it was more than that 10 percent being reported earlier.
Every time Sarah Brady cries, a baby laughs, and an angel gets its wings.
