Americans are getting the sense that random violent crime can happen to them, and they want to do something to protect themselves and their families.
They understand that the only thing that stops bad people with evil in their hearts is a good guy with a gun.
Americans have reacted accordingly. Per CNN:
Gun sales spike in June
Background checks for gun sales spiked 11% in June compared to last year, making it the busiest June ever, according to the FBI’s background check data.
Last month the FBI conducted nearly 1.53 million background checks, which are required for all in-store purchases, but not for sales at gun shows or between individuals. That’s the highest volume of checks in June since 1999, when the FBI started keeping track.
…In fact, May 2015 was also a record month for background checks year-over-year.
I’ll take THAT one!
Less scary if you’re armed? Well, duh!
Maybe we need to repeat that for John Q. Public to hear more often!
Since when does one not need a background check for a gun show purchase?
It’s a CNN story. You don’t expect it to be factual, do you?
What is that joke about the old woman pulled over with a bunch of guns?
As I recall the young trooper asked her what she was afraid of carrying all those guns.
Her reply: “Nothing, sir.”
