ROCKLIN (CBS13) — If you’ve pulled the trigger on a new firearm this holiday season, join the club.

As in your neighborhood shooting club, because faster than a speeding bullet, guns are going out the door.

Well, not right away, of course — there is that 10-day waiting period, 11 here at TDS Guns in Rocklin, where Bob Norgard wasn’t caught off-guard.

He’s making his purchase today so he’ll have his firearm under the Christmas tree as he joins a growing number of people who say they’re simply “doing what they need to do to protect themselves and their family.”

This surge in gun sales — the best holiday sales season in three years, according to the Firearms Dealers Association — got a shot in the arm on Black Friday.

“Black Friday sales were off the charts this year,” a TDS employee said.

FBI stats show the number of background checks done on Black Friday three years ago pales in comparison to the number done this year — a 32-percent jump.

“People are just coming in to protect themselves,” the employee said. “I think there’s just a lot of things going on in the world that are getting people thinking.”

More women are buying guns than ever before as criminals get more desperate.

Like break-ins while people are at home sleeping. It’s happened twice in a few weeks in a Rocklin neighborhood.

TDS Guns says at least three women from the area have come in to buy a gun because as one victim told CBS13: “I’m gonna be ready for the next time.”

    Can you blame people.? With crime spiraling up and seemingly thugs and gangsters around every corner, shooting things with no care of well being for anyone. With our leaders letting more criminals out of prisons to meet budget constraints . . . . what has the common man to do ?? It all seems like a bad dream
    but I am joining the ranks to of people who are simply fed up with crime and fear for my well being in an environment of senseless killers and thieves . . . .

  • still kicking

    This article was depressing but not surprising. Our legal system has collapsed with criminal events being reported here and elsewhere that always seem to mention that the people responsible were out on bail at the time awaiting earlier charges, often for the exact same crime. At the same time we read the stories of judges and/or policemen who retire with six figure incomes for life that the taxpayer is suppose to pay although they themselves may be out of work or have lost their savings.

    Our country is ripe for a revolution from the middle class that is being squeezed from all directions. I suspect that some major event involving criminals from the inner jungles terrorizing people outside of their normal area, or a series of lesser ones that cascade, will be the button to push people to finally react and fight back. It’s sad to see where we have come but eventually something is going to break.

  • Tom

    This is very true WE NEED TO HAVE A REVOLUTION !!!! Washington is worthless they are stealing us tax payers blind and laughing all the way to the bank WE NEED TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK FROM THESE FOOLS !!! (give to the poor give to the rich give and take better care of every other country but are own .This is why we are buying more and more guns because are own elected officals do not know how .AS TRUMP SAID the U.S.A has the dumbist goverment ever in history in office right now .An uneducated idiot could do a better job REVOLUTION BUY MORE GUNS !

  • Wesley Bates

    I totaly agree with GNA, Tom and still kickin. What they say is sad but true. Stand up, arm your selves and provide protection to your family and self. The cops are not legaly mandated to protect anyone. Also a couple hundred years ago the founding fathers said this. Every few hundred years the tree of freedom needs to be watered with tyrants and patriots blood. Sadly that time has come again. Works for me, lets get it on. Cause stonecold sez sooo.

  • Doug

    I ordered a new pistol last weekend. Society is collapsing and the federal government is promoting class warefare. If you own anything, there is someone out there who believes they are entitled to it.

  • Tom Genin

    One might say sales are “Fast & Furious.” hahaha

    Stupid Holder.

  • AtlasObjectivist

    Well it’s true, things are completely out of control, the lunatics of the Obama administration are running the asylum. It’s time to arm up, lock and load.

    Yes You can thank obama and the Democrats for the collapsing economy the increasing crime rate and the potential threat to our second amendment rights!

  • shaun

    Come to a free state where we buy them and get to take them home within minutes and we get to buy about anything we want without regard for commie state restrictions

  • tax revolt

    With statements like this, “There are times where — until Nancy Pelosi is speaker again — I’d like to work my way around Congress.” coming from someone who claims to be the leader of a free country what did the MSM think was going to happen. The citizens are arming themselves before the complete take over by a closeted socialist muslim. He!! I myself have purchased a long gun and a handgun with 1200 rounds of ammo. Not a bad purchase when you consider the roads that we as a nation may be traveling down.

  • rochesterwatch

    A few of us poor suckers have to run out and buy our own guns. The rest just get them from Eric Holder.

  • War Pony

    Santa better be careful comin down that chimney – ha ha. Same for any jack-booted blue-helmet thugs. Finally, some good news!

  • ricardo maxwell

    I am wondering daily why nobody is fighting back against these Marxists and thugs.

  • THE Reality TSAR

    I am gunless, and I miss them. I lived in Ma. for 8 years and i had a carry permit. Never needed my Glock, but I always had it.

    Now I am back in NYC and they won’t give a carry permit to anyone but the Politically connected (Trump, Imus, Howard Stern, all have carry permits), Joe working guy nope.

    It is a disgrace.

  • mike

    It’s nice and peaceful here in Virginia (just across the river from D.C.)…DC thugs know most of us Virginian’s carry concealed so they don’t bother us…they go to Maryland where you can’t carry a gun.

    Do yourself a favor, start carrying !

    You people are sick. Do you recall Va. Tech, either time? Columbine? Waco? There are crazy people out there. Do you think this is OK? Civilized? Fine if you do. There are more gun deaths in the US in a year than in all of Europe combined, due to laws. The forefathers could not have possibly seen the technology that produces the firepower today. If any of you have children, friends who maybe one day could be in the”wrong place at the wrong time” We need lstrong gun control laws to make us civilized. End of story

  • thegood1

    Don’t forget to stock up on those precious metals – brass and lead. Check out reload equipment as well. I just got a new Thompson Omega black powder rifle it’s now my go to rifle for deer hunting. A new gun for every man woman and child this /Christmas

  • David Moore

    Not a question if If only when the revolution will begin.
    Watch the Euro – when it collapses – run to the store for last minute previsions
    It will come very soon after that. If you live in the city you had best have a bug out plan

  • Paulv

    Does anyone else see the irony in that the most anti-American, anti-2nd amendment, gun grabbingest administration in the history of this country is responsible for putting more guns into the hands of Americans (not to mention the Mexicans!) than any other administration??….what a buffoon…

  • SJM

    I was in the Cabelas gun dept last weekend. within 20 minutes of the store opening, there were 50 people in line to buy guns. In a state where there is no waiting period to take your purchase home, the checkout line was 20 people long running to 4 cash registers all day long. It’s comforting to know that (at least in my area) we are a well armed society. And it shows – even the local OWS protesters knew enough to behave.

  • zorro

    Y’all need to move. As in right now! Relocate to a state that respects your God-given right to protect yourself!

  • Mike0oSS

    An armed society, is a polite society…..Ben Franklin

  • GFR

    A lot of people are getting concealed carry permits also. My CCW appointment isn’t until July 2012 because the Sacramento Sheriff’s department is so backed up.

    According to the Federal DOJ legally owned firearms are used between 2.5 and 4.5 MILLION times a year in the US to protect citizens from criminals. 99% of the time WITHOUT being fired.

    The science is settled – firearms in the hands of the law-abiding make society safer. Get yours now – it’s the only socially responsible thing to do.

  • David Moore

    Stupid uninformed ding bat!
    We call a no gun zone a killing zone!
    An armed citizenry stops crimes – just like a strong defense stops wars
    and by the way – thats why your boy barry is so weak that Iran is threatening us
    End of story!! moron

  • B DA Truth

    I think it now fair to say Democrats have lost this argument and the Genie is out of the bottle.
    I remember the day I saw Bill Clinton and Janet Reno holding up an Assault Rifle one day at a press confrence saying we have to get rid of these bad guns.
    I knew then that sooner or later everyone would have one.

  • Crosscut

    I live in flyover country and in this area if you are elgible and don’t own a firearm you are in the minority.

  • SJM

    I believe in firm gun control. I use both hands at all times! If any law abiding student or administrator at Columbine or Va Tech had been properly armed, the ordeal would have ended with much less bloodshed. As for Waco – you can thank Janet Reno and the Clinton administration for a slaughter that didn’t need to happen

  • zorro

    Lisa, you are one who is sick (as in mentally ill). Only a sicko would deny the weak and defenseless the right to protet themselves from the stronger brutes in our society. Shame on you! You need to see a shrink, or better yet, move to Europe where you can be a serf/subject, since you clearly don’t want to be a free citizen!

  • PA 2112

    Same here. This year I got my concealed weapons permit, Walther PPK38 to carry, Desert Eagle 50, Norinco-84, Mossberg 500 mariner. Beneli M4 Super 90 and for long range an Ultimate M-25 7.62 with SFWA scope. I’m not waiting.

  • rick kanter

    Really everyone?!?! I was trying to figure out why there was so much paranoa on this comment board, then I realized this was a Drudge redirect. First off, crime is down, and it has been going down EVERY year this decade, specifically in California. Vehicle theft in 2010 was the lowest since 1977! Murder was the lowest in 2010 since 1972! Violent crime is the lowest since 1978! Honestly, stop watching Fox News or your local news station, and read up on stats. It may help y’all sleep better at night, with or without a gun…

  • rick

    How is this administration the most anti-2nd amendment administration in the history of the country? That is just outlandish, and do yourself a favor and provide some supporting facts- more for yourself if anything-

  • Bob

    Hey Rick!

    I see no violence reported on Fox. But you can sure see it on MSNBC afterhours.

    California crime is lower because we have more people in jail. Thank you.

  • The Old Prospector

    I think that was Robert Heinlein

  • AMRAM

    Just look at Barbra Boxer, she is the only “citizen” in SF with a canceled carry permit!

  • Scudbuster

    Get a Glock,
    be ready to rock.

  • Todd

    Hilarious, reread what you just posted. Crime is down because American’s are arming themselves in record numbers.

  • JungleCogs

    Don’t trust those OWS FleaBaggers either. They seem to think they should be able to get away with anything. They better not try to occupy my house.

  • Eric Gunther Oberhauser

    I can’t believe that people are buying guns.. If the government wants to kill you or your children, they have the right. It is what you get for allowing government to be the god of your life… Wake up. BUY TEN GUNS.

  • JustAGuy

    You say violent crime is the lowest since 1978? You gotta prove that, because all people have to do is to follow the news everyday and they can see for themselves.

    There’s rioting in Europe as the Euro collapses, Occupy folks have been threatening revolution, and several have been advocating violent revolution, unemployment is sky high, in spite of the Obama Admin’s creative accounting that says it dipped into the 8 percentile range.

    People have been getting desperate, you’ve seen all the stories of copper theives, things are deteriorating. If you want to ignore what’s plain, and believe Obama’s rosey predictions, be my guest.

  • Paulv

    Hey Lisa, I’ve had a gun sitting in my closet for 14 years, and guess what?? Not once did it jump up and kill someone!…No, Lisa, guns don’t kill people, idiots like you do!..thank God you’re not armed. But I doubt you would pass the application process, question 11.f would eliminate you, and if not that then 11. j …..

  • indep.thinker

    rick, are you insane or do you just not read the news (and by news I mean the real news and not the Obama re-election campaign stations). This administration sold guns to the Mexican cartel, resulting in the murder of a border patrol agent, all in the hopes of picking up some anti gun talking points.

    Pleas remove your had from your backside and pay attention.

  • buffflow bill

    keep in mind it’s not the street criminals most people are afraid of and protecting themselves against..think about it…

  • JustAGuy

    The jails are full and California is broke. Surely you’ve heard about California Correctional Dept giving early releases because they just don’t have the room.

  • GFR

    Lisa you have your facts wrong.

    Virginia Tech was a tragedy because it was a gun free zone. Only the criminal was carrying – same for Columbine. Waco was Janet Reno trying to prove that she was a real man.

    We are not: “sick” – unless it’s sick and tired of being victims.

    Yes there are crazy people out there – and some of them are armed, which is why the sane people need to be armed too.

    Europe doesn’t have the same demography as the US, you are comparing apples to oranges. Switzerland requires every adult male to have a fully automatic weapon available in their house. They also allow for private ownership of heavy weapons like howitzers. The rate of gun crime in Switzerland is negligeable. Russia by contrast has very strict gun laws and the murder rate is MUCH higher than the US.

    The founding fathers lived at a time when people used to go duck hunting with 3 inch bore cannon – they knew all about violence and guns. People are not holding up liquor stores with nuclear weapons. Your assumption that you are wiser than the founding fathers is short sighted and hubristic.

    It’s because I want to be able to protect my children that I have guns – being unarmed doesn’t work.

    What we need is gun laws that work on the criminals – not on the innocent people. We are already civilized, the criminals are not.

    If you want to protect the people respect the second amendment – END OF STORY.

  • Heavily Armed Irishman

    I’m pretty sure the people arming themselves with AK-47′s are more worried about the real criminals in DC.

  • American

    America is getting ready for the rioting by the ganstas/thugs when we dump oblamo in 11/2012

  • JustAGuy

    I saw this day coming the moment Obama got elected. I started preparing to protect my family back then.

  • SJM

    canceled a used firearms sale by south korea – already approved by the Bush administration. Attempted to use Fast and Furious as leverage to pass stricter firearms laws. PUBLICLY admitted to the far left gun control advocates that they were running operations “under the radar” to restrict gun sales. PUBLICLY blamed US gun dealers for firearms sales in Mexico that were actually allowed by the DOJ. Need I go on?

  • Hank

    When I purchased a new handgun a few months ago, I asked the store owner how his business was going in this poor economy. His answer surprised me: he said that since Obama was elected, his sales, year over year, have tripled, compared to pre-Obama years.

  • John M

    Yeh, we know, crime is down, unemployment is down, gas prices are down and morale is up. Very funny.

  • Ayn Rand

    Stop Obamunism.

  • PG

    Gun ownership up crime down. Rick you got it exactly right. Now go read John Lott’s “More Guns Less Crime” for the rest of those “stats” you seem to be so fond of quoting.

    btw “paranoa” has an “i” in it. Try paranoia, and yes I leaned to spell by watching Fox News.

  • Allen DuPree

    waiting periods are CONSTITUTIONALLY illegal and serve absolutely no purpose except to bow to libers. anyone who supports or votes for this kind of governmental bulling.The same goes for “permits” or back door taxes which is all they are. The CONSTITUTION does not mention nor even imply that you have the right to keep and bear arms IF you pay the Government an extortion fee then you can carry your CONSTITUTIONALLY guaranteed firearm ONLY where and when your state permit allows,cross and invisible line and you commit a felony otherwise leave your gun in your vehicle to be stolen and used in crimes against other people.

  • JP

    Hey Rick 2

    Crime is down in certain parts of the country and up in other parts. Care to guess which areas have the least gun restrictions along with the donward trending crime?

  • babydriver

    That’s correct Rick. Crime went down at roughly the same rate that gun ownership went up. It went down further with the gross increase in concealed carry. When the criminals don’t know which potential victims might be armed they think twice.

  • Cincinnatus

    Did you ever think that crime is down because more state than every have concealed carry laws? Do you have a fire extinguisher in your home or a spare tire in your car? Are you paranoid of fires or flats? You want to believe you are prepared with those items and yet are paranoid with a gun?

    I carry a gun all the time and teach concealed carry. Never been robbed because I am prepared and I don’t put myself in a position that leaves me open to attacks.

    I would rather have the tools to defend my life and that of my family than to be totally helpless as someone breaks in to the house and all I can do is hope help arrives in time. Sorry but we all don’t belong to the wimpy generation – self reliance goes a long way in my book.

  • David Kramer

    I believe in gun control and enforcement.

    Good control or your grouping and enforcement of situational awareness.

    Funny how on one hand we have Biden stating that murders and rapes will increase with the declining economy they are instituting yet crime has steadily declined. Hmmmm, must be that grouping and situational awareness I was talking about.

  • wolgy

    You hit the nail on the head, Todd. Since Obama was elected I have bought 4 guns and got my CCW. The criminals are being a little more cautious now. The places where you are seeing the most violence is where you can’t carry a gun, e.g. college campuses

  • War Pony

    Check out what happened in Autralia when they CONFISCATED GUNS – THE CRIME RATE WENT WAY UP, ’cause the criminals knew there wouldn’t be any resistance. Besides, Police are only there after the fact to make a report. SJM is spot on – a well armed citizenry would have stopped lone-wolf crazies. And, Waco, Ruby Ridge were “Blood Games” for the elites. But, remember the Montana Freemen standoff (probably not, because/) where no one died? Guess why. 60k armed “tourists” showed up and promised a violent rebellion if any Freemen died – all the while the County Prosecutor was saying we all know what will happen on April 19. The only death was a drunk fed who rolled his truck and forgot to follow the law and wear his seatbelt. You’re welcome!

  • Frank

    This is a reaction to the fast and the furious.

    Obama is a murderer and a liar.

  • Allen DuPree

    Anyone who votes for this kind of governmental bullying is a traitor to America and at the least a closet liberal.

  • lisa

    I’m just a surgeon who has seen a lot of gun violence, especially on innocent children, bystanders. Many of them are dead, leaving loved ones behind. The carriers of these firearms were not boyscouts, they were felons. Guns get into the hands of wrong people, sorry if this offends you, its just a fact.

  • JustAGuy

    I bought my first after Obama became elected.

    However, I’m GLAD!!!!! I don’t live in California.

    You can’t get a decent AK or AR in California. Those that are Cali-legal are a pathetic shadow of what they were designed to be, And don’t even think about a Saiga 12 gague, ACR, SCAR, Steyer-Aug. It’s tragic!

  • Cincinnatus

    You left out the best part – for the most part they are American made by American workers. I did my part over the weekend and bought a Smith & Wesson to stimulate the economy. Add to that the Winchester ammo and I am all over creating jobs.

As well, news is accessible in every medium, so you can find one story that makes you think EVERYTHING is that way…

    rick, the whole fast and furious debacle was choreographed by this administration in an attempt to overturn the 2nd amendment. you want proof.???read something or listen to someone other than Katie Couric.

  • Jack

    Not about the laws, its about the guns that should not be lying around for these crazy people to begin with! when are you people going to understand?

  • rk

    For every example that someone says they thwarted a crime on their family with the use fo the gun, I’ll give you 2 wherein an accident occurs with a firearm. I thoroughly agree folks can have all the guns they want to, I just don’t agree with the assertions across this message board that crime is up and gang members are running rampant. That’s just absurd.

  • Cincinnatus

    Allen – sadly those rules exist in states we the people were foolish enough to give up their rights and trust government. You can lead a liberal to Liberty but you can’t make them drink from the cup of freedom when they are more than happy to let the government run their miserable little lives.

  • JustAGuy

    Hey Lisa, the most gun violence occurrs in long-time Democrat cities. If you want to stop all the senseless gun violence, then ban the Democrat party!

    Do it for the children!

  • glenp

    I want GUN CONTROL——keeping a tight pattern on the PERP TARGET!!!!!

  • American

    BUY AMMO …………….BUY AMMO…………..BUY AMMO

    folks need to wake up the ammo grab coming …………………. like the banning of lead in shotgun shells (forced us to steel which is much more costly), oblamo and the gungrabbers are going to do same for rifle/handgun round and the cost will go up tenfold

    you will have a gun but wont be able to afford the ammo to shoot

  • Yasherka

    Well then Lisa, you are obviously incompetent and should never, ever, own a weapon. By the way, my 32 legally owned firearms have hurt fewer people that Ted Kennedy.

  • Allen DuPree

    true , but if we can’t make them drink we should use the opportunity to go ahead and drown them…….

  • SJM

    and strict gun laws don’t prevent it. felons will get weapons whether they are legal or not. Maybe the solution isn’t the violation of our rights, just the incarceration and subsequent execution of the felons.

  • Cincinnatus

    JP you nailed it. Chicago is a sewer and they have the toughest gun contol in the nation – shooting and murders are off the chart. I live in a neighborhood where 80% of the homes have guns and we haven’t had a murder in 17 years.

    It isn’t the gun that causes crime – it is the human piece of trash behind the trigger that causes crime.

  • Bawanna

    Can’t wait for the caos then Lisa will be someones breakfast.

  • GFR

    So you admit that the people who caused the tragedy’s you mention were criminals…

    Why is it so hard for you to understand that law-abiding people would want to be armed to protect themselves against them?

    Armed citizens DECREASE the rate of gun violence. By advocating for the disarmament of the law-abiding you are complicit in unnecessary gun violence.

  • glenp

    a GUN BAN at GA TECH allows the local perps to have a field day raping and robbing students.

    how about GA TECH banning BAD GUYS instead

  • bob

    Glock? No thanks, i’ll stick to my Sig Sauer’s.

  • Yasherka

    The California Correctional Dept does not grant releases. Leftist judges who are soft on crime do.

  • Gregory Gowen

    liberals follow the key pillars of communism, govt. controls wealth and property,, govt. denounces religion, and govt. DISARMS people. The people buying are the ones who can see what liberals believe and act accordingly. Especially since when the republicans are done playing musical chairs Obama will be the winner.

  • glenp

    The day OVOMIT got elected, AMMO SALES went ballistic.

    I have plenty of fresh ammo now and the means to protect myself!

  • bob

    Hey lisa, check out the statistics on the countries that banned private ownership of firearms in the 20th century.. everywhere from the soviet union to nazi germany.

    Total CITIZENS of their own countries killed by their government tops 100 million.

  • julian

    IN THE WRONG HANDS, you are correct none of the gang gangers that shot up your patients passed a firearms background check, if you feel, very strongly as a physician then perhaps banning pools and bathtubs should be next on your agenda (check the facts on how many children die there). Remember first do no harm and that means you don’t disarm people using faulty data!

  • Real American

    luv seeing the loons get upset when they see the real Americans exercising their constitutional rights by owning guns

    thank you, loons, for the entertainment

  • Cincinnatus

    OK RK give me an example. You are are using fake data created by the group that used to be called Handgun Control Inc.

    Crime is down because more states allow concealed carry. ONLY Illinois does not aloow it. Vermont of all places lets you carry a gun without a permit – just have to be a law abiding citizen.

  • boozy

    Great comment, absolutely right!..I picked up another shotgun this week that I had ordered Thru Davidson’s….when I got to my dealer’s, the freakin thing was made in China!..almost didn’t take it, but too big a hassle not to…lesson learned,..fortunately, it’s not a bad piece, but wouldn’t have bought it if I had know….

  • Allen DuPree

    Ted Kennedy like many others murdered(in his case his secretary) with his car and alcohol yet they never ever tried to take his car or his liquor and was dubbed a “hero” by the liberals. Never seen a gun (and I own many) take the initiative to act on it’s own,there are mountains of records about guns used ILLEGALLY but practically NO statistics on lives saved by gun owners.

  • “common” sense

    Never mind the FACT that the “commie” in chief personally passed legislation allowing guns into National Parks, which the last maladministration couldn’t.

    Oh by the way the BUSH administration started fast and furious(and several other weird operations), but that FACT doesn’t matter in your propaganda washed “brain”. I AM NOT defending the continuation of it, BTW, but please get your ‘facts’ straight! Our democracy depends on it. Only a very sick society warships guns/violence/death…

    They aren’t trying to pass new legislation, they want current laws enforced. Thousands of guns via the private/gunshow loophole are being illegally sold. Why do you have a problem with that? background checks, waiting periods, etc. are a good thing, no? You still get to carry your mass murder device, rightfully so may I add…

    seriously how is this administration the most anti gun in actuality, NOT THEORY. Trying to pass legislation and actually doing it are two VERY different things, don’t cha know hey?!

    you are using logic when liberals work off emotion, even if you ask them to compare a city with strict gun laws vs. a city with open carry laws the liberals just wont believe the crime statistics.

    You are correct guns get into the hands of the wrong people; This cannot be avoided. In the 1939-1945 untold millions of guns got into the hands of the wrong people and 50,000,000+ people were slaughtered in less then 6 years.

    An enlightened gun policy insures that a lot more of the right people get their hands on guns than the wrong people. Politicians as a class should be considered the wrong people based upon historical perspective.

    It is a cliche to mention it, but the great society has created all this death and destruction; not guns. Guns, knives, hammers, crowbars, sharp sticks etc are all inanimate objects. It’s people who do the killing.

    Do any of you truly believe that guns DON’T come from the US to Mexico??? Fast and Furious was a mess and that’s awful what happened to the border agent- but the intent was to see the supply line of guns from Mexico to US- something that has been confirmed and qualified. The political spin of the intent being to “chip away” at our 2nd amendment rights is ridiculous. In regards to actually legislative activity, give me a bill or even a rider that has been anti-2nd amendment? Maybe I’ll be enlightended here, but all i recall is they allowed concealed weopons in Nat’l parks- but this admin. has stayed away from gun policy.

    I am NOT a resident of Kalifornia, but I visit there many times, I pack illegaly so that if I`am mugged, robbed or threatened with lethal force I will have the ability to protect myself. I could care less about Kalifornia`s restriction on the right to protect myself. If I go to prison for blowing away a mugger, well then thats the price I`ll have to pay, I will be alive and he will be dead. I know liberals hate this kind of speech.

    step away from the liberal kool aid and get your own facts straight. the Bush Admin ran a program that the Mexican government was aware of and had been CANCELED. A program where they actually attempted to track the weapons. Fast and Furious (unknown to the Mexican government, no tracking of weapons) is completely at the feet of the Obama admin and Eric Holder.Guns at gun shows aren’t illegally sold. True, there is a loophole in the law but sorry to inform you, that doesn’t make it illegal.

    Literally hundreds of millions of people are dead over the past hundred years because governments held a monopoly on the possession of firearms — and the only reason for governments to exist is to protect our rights of life, liberty, private property, and pursuit of personal happiness. And at the street level; — if you are a doctor witnessing the mayhem caused by armed criminals, why don’t you think that their innocent victims had a right to use deadly force to protect themselves from these criminals?

  • Mike R

    I did not see any scary, wild- eyed “gun nuts” (the liberals’ favorite pejorative for gun owners) in the “Fire Arms Sales ” video.

    QUOTE: “And in my state you don’t even have to do the 15 min BG check if you have a valid conceal carry license.”

    That’s nice that the suspension of your 2nd amendment rights is more convenient than his. Why does a competent adult require a background check or a permit? Seriously, how is that the government ‘PERMITS” you to have your constitutional right? Well, now that you have permission to use your “right” go and have fun.

  • John Galt

    You don’t have to worry about your guns getting into the wrong hands, Eric Holder (or one of his lackies) was supplying them to Mexican drug dealers and bypassing the middle man. If they hadn’t been caught there would be a full fledged assault on your 2nd Amendment rights based on lies that legit gun dealers were selling the Mexicans guns across the boarder. Will anyone by fired or go to jail for this? Don’t hold your breath.

    Thomas Jefferson: “The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes….Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.

    Fortunately, I live in Arizona, where we have zero waiting period. Unfortunately, there is a federal “instant” background check (20 minutes), but that sure beats the People’s Respublik of Kaliforniya’s 11 day wait!

    You Californians should realize that your governor just signed a bill making it ILLEGAL to carry a firearm openly state-wide. And we know that each jurisdiction can decide whether or not to give you a concealed weapons permit — and most don’t find the average California fit enough to have one.

    Therefore, the gun you just bought will be illegal everywhere but in your own home – and even then some places have rules on how you store it.

  • Roberto Luna

    What the article says is partially true. More Americans feel less secure in their homes and cities than since the Second World War. With the bad economy we’re worried about desperate people doing desperate things. But the Main reason, which the media tries to hide, is at more than any time in the history of our Country, Americans are afraid of their Government. People are afraid what Obama and his Czars have planned for us. Obama is a unquestioned Marxist, he was trained by Frank Davis and Art Silinsky both heads of the Communists party in the USA. Silinsky wrote the book “Rules for Radicals” which is a blue print of what steps to take to overthrow a Capitalist Country, specifically the US. Obama has studied this manual and is following it closely. Alinsky was also a “Community Organizer” the same as Obama. This is where Obama honed his skills to cause the fall of America. One major rule Obama is very good at is being able to stand up, look people in the eye and say one thing while doing the exact opposite and making people believe what he says despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Unemployment is a prime example, he keeps telling us how its improving while he keeps arguing with Congress to keep extending the unemployment payments. Democrats are easily fooled by such a slick talker, it’s scary. Obama is looking like he is going to attempt at being the first American Dictator. It’s this reasoning why gun sales are up. People are much more afraid of our own Government than Al Qaeda, and that’s sad.

    Hey boilomaker – would you say that to my face, coward? A lot of you Right Wingers talk alot about your guns and are slamming on Lisa because she has a conviction that values human life.

    I’m willing to bet that there are far MORE deaths in a year due to the lack of a firearm in the hands of the victim. I’d love to see the statistics on that. I am a gun owner, and I believe in strict gun control laws as well. But to me that means allowing law abiding citizens to have them, and taking them from criminals. No more, no less.

    Senator Orrin Hatch: “If gun laws in fact worked, the sponsors of this type of legislation should have no difficulty drawing upon long lists of examples of crime rates reduced by such legislation. That they cannot do so after a century and a half of trying–that they must sweep under the rug the southern attempts at gun control in the 1870-1910 period, the northeastern attempts in the 1920-1939 period, the attempts at both Federal and State levels in 1965-1976–establishes the repeated, complete and inevitable failure of gun laws to control serious crime.” Senator Orrin Hatch, Chairman, Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on the Constitution, 97th Cong., 2d Sess., The Right to Keep and Bear Arms, Committee Print I-IX, 1-23 (1982).

    Very good quotes and there are hundreds more supporting the Second Amendment.

    Extremely well put #
    Generally the point is there are 2 main types of dictatorship.

    1) Overt and visible – Stalin, Adolf,Gaddafi etc

    2) Covert and invisible – UK/US/Western Democracies

    This is sophisticated in that this true dictator never presents themselves directly but elects 2 candidates to dual one another to provide the illusion of democracy, whilst retaining loyalty and control using finance and power and privilege to keep the candidates in line.

    Whenever a candidate wears out his/her welcome and the public becomes disenfranchised a new ‘leader’ is elected giving the impression of change. The true dictator of course never loses his power and never becomes tainted.

    Option 1 almost always get overthrown at some point or another.

    Option 2 never results in any true revolution and sufficiently divides the public to prevent any concerted assault on those in true power.

    A simple question is this. If you lived in the USA for the past 10 years and you wanted to vote for a party opposed to war who should you have voted for?

    Since both parties have fully supported the war the answer is neither choice would have given what you wanted.

    Of course if a true 3rd candidate appears (Ross Perot) they are quickly threatened with death (or in the case of Ross Perot) his daughter as well. A quick on-line search will yield further information on this.

    I have some guns, haven’t bought any in a few years. Prices were way up for a while there.

    It is best ot have a piece and get it at a quiet time. Guns bought during sales spikes don’t tend to turn up as bargains later. I bought my first handgun (A Czech CZ-75 9mm) in February 2001. I figured that the Post-”Y2K” period would make for a lot of good deals as people who bought out of worry sold cheap. Not that many were resold cheap then but prices were sure lower than they are now. The last couple years have been nuts on both guns and ammunition as far as low supply and the price side.

    I urge all the new shooters to get instruction and practice to become proficient and know their new guns. It is good for safety in many ways, in preventing accidents and knowing how to use it if you need it. Check your local gun clubs and shooting ranges. Th elocal gun stores should know a few if you haven’t heard of them. We’d love to see you on the range and say hi to another fellow shooter. Shoot safe :)

    They will never take guns because they would actually have to physically go out and get them. This is when people would be dying so fast no one would want the job. Sure wouldn’t need to worry about a pension plan. Talk about a high turnover rate. The funny thing is the idiots that are anti-gun will die due to their beliefs if TSHTF because you know they will be unarmed. These people in big cities think they can just pass enough laws to get guns eventually. Sorry to say when they actually try to get them they will be met with major force in return. Lets just say this much. The government can not control a couple of blocks of buildings they own from people that can’t even really shoot.

    There’s a saying about the Three Boxes of Liberty – the soap box, the ballot box and the cartridge box. Regrettably, the third option is becoming more and more likely in our lifetime. Political Correctness has taken away the soap box. The ballot box is increasingly suspect as elections are stolen in broad daylight amidst rampant voter fraud. The only questions at this point are what will set it off and where will it happen? Obama’s re-election? The military being used to support the junta running the country? SWAT teams using high tech weapons, drones and other military gear in the name of homeland security? Cavity searches to travel or enter public places? It’s all happening already. I take some solace in knowing that there are 300 million people in America with at least 200 million guns. Our military has been trying for 10 years to suppress a few thousand fighters in Iraq and Afghanistan. Taming a full blown armed American rebellion would be impossible for all intents and purposes – but it won’t be for lack of trying. The people can only be pushed so far. If the apparatchiks govern without the consent of the governed and all peaceful means of change or exhausted, then we have two choices – live under the boot or fight. You have to admire the protesters in Russia, Iran and Syria. They are demanding honest government and freedom from regimes which have no qualms about gunning them down. Will we be as courageous when the time comes?

    After the Obama/Holder got caught in their ” Fast and Furious ” scam to place guns in the hands of Mexican gangs in an attempt to convince Americans to accept more restrictive gun laws, no one should be surprise that record numbers of Americans are buying guns.

    ” Fast and Furious ” might well be one of the things that costs Obama re-election and if that’s the case, the operation will have been unwittingly successful.

    Discounting the people actually killed in fighting WWII, what column do you wish to slide the 6,000,000 Jews and other dissidents because they were unable to defend themselves? Natural causes?

    You can cite all the isolated instances of nut cases who chose to use a firearm instead of some other weapon. How about banning cars since they kill about 50,,000 Americans yearly?

    Meanwhile in the free states there is no waiting period and lo and behold the streets do not runneth over in blood! These stupid waiting periods do nothing but add time to a law abidings citizens ability to self defense. They are not reasonable and do NOTHING to curb crime.

    Before some knucklehead spouts off, the background check is still completed as per law… anyhow here is how it works:

    In Kommiefornia (California for the slow):
    1 – You see a firearm you would like to have.
    2 – You purchase the firearm AFTER the NCIS background check.
    3 – You walk out with a receipt showing you actually made the purchase
    4 – 10 Days later (remember the background check is literally completed in 20 minutes or less) you come back and can claim your new firearm.
    Caveats:
    A – You are limited to magazine capacities of 10rnds (even though mag limits have not been shown to be effective in curbing crime)
    B – If you buy an “assault” rifle then it must have a CA approved bullet button (another ludicrous move that only increases the cost and make it more difficult for the law abiding citizen…)

    In Arizona:
    1 – You see a firearm you would like to have.
    2 – You purchase the firearm AFTER the NCIS background check.
    3 – You walk out with your new firearm about 20-30 minutes from the time you started the purchase.
    Caveats:
    A – No magazine capacity limits.
    B – If you buy an a fully automatic rifle then you must have a class III license and be cleared to own one… but you still can and there are no restrictions on the firearm.

  • GlockG20

    It’s not that they can’t… which in one respect you are correct based on time, BUT the Supreme courts have upheld that law enforcement is not REQUIRED to save you. Look no further than the mass shootings in the last 10-15 years. The cops, whom have body armor, full automatics and a whole array of other weapons at their disposal, simply sat around and waited until the shooters did themselves in.

    If you believe the cops are your friends and there to help you… you are sorely deluded.

    Lisa: Your prose is ill founded as the facts show that where there is the strictest gun control there is the highest level of violent crime. The UK has some very strict gun control laws on the books… and they have the dubious distinction of being the most violent nation in Europe!

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1196941/The-violent-country-Europe-Britain-worse-South-Africa-U-S.html

    http://www.ice-news.net/2010/11/29/the-most-violent-country-in-europe/

    I spent some time in Scotland… my ancestral homeland, and what I found was the violent crime had increased so much that I found many people that needed a police officer to stop a crime in progress… were placed on HOLD!

    No, I am truly sorry you have to see the end result, but then again whats the difference between someone being shot to death or stabbed to death or beaten to death? Nothing… they are still dead. But an armed law abiding citizen can and does (you just rarely hear about it in main stream media) stop crime in it’s tracks. Many times without a shot ever being fired.

    Robert A. Heinlein said it best: “An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his actions with his life.”

    Good post. Also, in Arizona you do NOT need a license to walk around with a gun in your pocket (concealed). In Califruita, every jurisdiction can make its own rules. In Arizona, we have “Legislative Preemption” which means that an anti-gun mayor & council in Tucson, Flagstaff or Nogales, for example, cannot make more restrictive rules. There are only three states that recognize our rights to carry a concealed weapon without a permit: Vermont, Alaska and Arizona. Anyone else care to join the freedom movement?

    Obviously we don’t need to get a permit to carry openly, either. In Califruita, Gov. Brown just signed a bill making it ILLEGAL to carry a firearm OPENLY!!

This confiscation, which continues with the utmost energy, has given satisfactory results.” (address to the Italian Senate, 1931)

This delay gave our industrial infrastructure time to gear up for the conflict and was decisive in our later victory.

    “Let me know how that cheap Romanian AK works on an Apache helicopter fat boy!! lol”
    You don’t think the US Army pilots might object to firing on US citizens? Not everybody in government is a Len Horiuchi (look it up). Army officers have to take an oath to uphold the Constitution – they don’t take an oath to the government.

    You are a facist. Obviously the government usually has the preponderance of military power, and if they are sufficiently despotic they will use it – just look at Tianamen square. The US isn’t at that point yet – after the Waco massacre clinton had to back down, not because the government lost the physical battle, but because they lost the public relations battle when they killed more than a hundred men, women and children. If the Branch Davidians hadn’t had their firearms the government thugs could have just walked in and arrested them.

    “Most of y’all have never seen a war zone (i have),” So now you’re the ultimate authority on all things military? Most of the troops coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan are Republlicans and almost all of them support the 2nd amendment. If you really have been a soldier your opinions put you in the minority.

    Nobody here is under any illusions as to what it would be like to take up arms against the government. The idea is to make it clear to the government in advance that using arbitrary violence against the civilian population is a direction they don’t want to go. If they decide to enslave us anyway it will be much more difficult for them to do so if we are armed.

    Unfortunately, in California, you cannot get a concealed weapons carry permit without just cause as determined by the county sheriff (elected) or chief of police (appointed by the mayor who is elected). The “reason” must be good enough to warrant your carry needs. For example, where I live you also are required to take a physical and psychological examination as well. Where is the ACLU? Where are the civil liberties attorneys who should be protecting the public at large from the tyranny of the state of California? Oh yea, they all support gun control.

    Addendum – as the state releases tens of thousands of “non-violent” criminals, because the state is more concerned with paying for the Department of Corrections public employees Union pensions and benefits, then protecting the public, they will prosecute and incarcerate unlawful concealed weapons carriers to the full extent of the law, which I believe is 5 years (felony) for first offense (loaded concealed weapon).

    Adolf Hitler: “The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let’s not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country.” Adolf Hitler, dinner talk on April 11, 1942, quoted in Hitler’s Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, Second Edition (1973), Pg. 425-426.

    @FreeDeez, That would have been your good buddy “Slick Willie” clinton who signed the gun ban during his first term with a Democrat Congress.

    It’s Eric Holders fault that those ATF guns were not shadowed and returned after the bust was made. In fact, they never meant to recover them, they only wanted bad things to happen so they could push through MORE gun control on honest law abiding citizens. Problem was that their plan backfired as someone leaked the story and as they say, the rest is history and there is a DEAD border patrol agent as a result of that!

    Obama has a plan working in the background (as he told the Brady bunch) which I believe is that UN Small Arms Treaty, which will allow the UN Blue Hats to come to my house, confiscate any weapons that I refuse to surrender and then throw me in jail!!

    Thanks for reminding me I moved to CA from AZ 2 years ago, First thing you have to do is Register your handguns with the state and pay the $19 ea. Fee. Mag buttons on all semi auto rifles, Brown made unloaded open carry against the law next year. You can’t have ammo any where near the gun if you have it in the car and if its in your car they basically want you to be coming or going to/from a shooting range. I think longgun registration was signed by Brown too, but I have to check on that..Of course none of this means anything to the criminals here.

  • TheOnlyOne

    I’ve thought long and I see no real downside. It is time that the United States Military protect the Constitution by removing its mortal enemies. Would it be wrong – like sedition or treason – to ask for the joint chiefs to suspend the constitution and remove ALL members of congress and the president of the the United states? Of, course, this would also include the supremes. It just seems so obvious to me “we the people” have failed and need “daddy” to save us from ourselves. The jokers, fools, and theives in Washington DC MUST be stopped somehow. They’re all dealers and CRACKHEADS. We’re broke and now they want to cut back on SS tax? Over the cliff and on the rocks……

    To try and help you with your confusion. The Obama administration through Eric holdemup sponsored ” Fast and Furious ” A scheme designed make the American people believe that new Guns laws are needed because of so many firearms are being smuggled into Mexico. What they didn’t want you to know was that the US government could have prevented this and even encouraged Gun dealers to sell firearms to people suspected of purchasing firearms for illegal smuggling to Mexico. Many honest gun dealers complained to the ATF about such practices. The US government through the Justice Dept. (eric holdemup) and ATF were setting them up.This was a Grand conspiracy.
    Please don’t be that ignorant. Obama knows that any gun control law would be devastating to the Democratic party.( Ask Bill Clinton who acknowledged that the Dems lost 40 house seats because the last failed gun control law called the Brady bill) Obama is trying to end run the American gun laws with UN treaties, and executive orders. He is also trying to get a second term where he has nothing to lose. He even had it posted on his web sight after the election (It was removed real fast). And to answer your last question. No it is not alright for a Republican to sponsor laws that violate the American peoples 2nd amendment rights. Bush Sr. lost a lot of backing after that .
    I would also remind you that if you follow the money you will soon see the how politicians vote.
    I would also be willing to bet you a large sum of money that if obama wins a second term ( And I hope and pray he doesn’t win) he will try and implement a large Gun control bill.

    The facts are that many libs and democrats feel that the only real problem is racism. If you notice everyone who stands for the US constitution and has a different idea is labeled a racist.

I also never believed in the theory of evolution until now. and now I believe that the liberals and Democrats are revolving back into monkeys

  • Pynckone

    RIX,
    You are WRONG about guns going south in 2006. Those guns were STOPPED before they crossed, unlike Holder/0bama’s plan to let them get into Mexico so they could be traced back to the US.

    Furthermore, most of the weapons entering Mexico are coming in from Venezuela and other SA according to gummint report, adequately suppressed by the MSM to support F&F.

    Disagree with the party line of the conservatives and, no matter what your values, your opinion is denigrated.

  • Jim

    If you buy a gun do yourself a favor and take the NRA first steps class, learn about about safety and the operation of your gun. And most of all practice with it learn the details of how it operates and how YOU operate it. Practice with elements that can simulate stress. If you ever need to use your gun I guarantee you will not rise to the occasion but rather fall to the level of training that you have.

  • Norman56

    Then you are both blind & stupid.
    Your previous post is very instructive, proposing the notion of a criminal as a victim, and using the term “gun violence” as if the gun is the problem. How about a home owner that defends himself with a baseball bat, would the thug then be a victim of Bat Violence, genius?

    I don’t understand how people can elect such moonbats like Jerry Brown, or my states Martin Owe,Mallet. Gun Control is less about guns, and more about control. We now have 40 states that allow for easy concealed carry, and in those states, street violence has dropped. Areas with low ownership, like DC and NYC, have huge incidences of residential break-ins when people are home. Not to mention higher rates of rape, robbery, and other violent crimes, compared to places with high gun ownership rates.

    I agree this is happening partially because of the determination of Obama and other liberal traitors to abolish the 2nd amendment. I also believe this is happening because many Americans see the terrible shape our economy is in because of corrupt politicians and other crooks.

We cannot depend on government for security or support.

    I’m curious as to whether you believe one word rebuttals serve your requirements for reasoned debate.

    Do you think Eric Holder is a honest broker?

    You do realize he did an end-run for the Clintons to engineer a presidential pardon for Mark Rich on the FBI’s 10 most wanted list for nothing more than cold hard cash. How does that make you feel.

    The Obama Regime was driving an agenda that the reason for all of the Mexican violence was due to too few restrictions on American’s constitutional rights with regards to gun ownership.

    In the wake of this we see a Justice department program seeking to inject as many weapons as they could into the hands of the most violent drug gangs of Mexico – with no shred of legitimate law enforcement purpose whatsoever.

    How do you process this information? With one word dismissals?

    This is why so many perceive the politics of the left as being the product of disordered mental processes.

If you are not a good shot or don’t have time/place to practice using a pistol, buy a shotgun. If you do buy a pistol for the first time, get some practice and instructions. That way you can practice gun control by being able to hit your target. An armed society is a polite society…

    The reason is apparent, just look at the situations in Libya, Syria, Egypt and other countries where the “government” controlled the weapons and “protected” the populations. Safety is never a reason why government wants control, it has more to do with the fear that they will have to toe the line.

    Gold goes up and down. Stocks go up and down. Guns and ammunition go UP. Both are more expensive than ever now but both are cheaper than they will ever be again. Buy now!!!
    I retired from Army Special Forces and the one thing I learned is that even if you have enough ammo, you can never have too much ammo. Buy guns now to hand down to your children and grandchildren. They may not have the freedom to purchase their own. That brings us back to ammo….without ammo, a gun is just a steel club to beat the bad guys with.

    Funny thing about the 2nd Amendment, it doesn’t mention hunting — *NOR* does it mention self defense. Our founders understood these considerations to be obvious to any thinking individual.
    What the 2nd Amendment *DOES* specifically state is “the security of a free state”. The 2nd Amendment was, from its inception the “RESET” Button on the Constitution. An armed People is the only real guarantor of freedom – not elections (if the elected decide to ignore the results, how do you force them to obey the will of the people?), certainly not the government.
    You want to keep your freedom? You must be ready, able, and *WILLING* to defend it.

    Hello Lisa,

    I do not wish to insult you as others have done so here. Your concerns are legitimate. We all want to enjoy security and safety; I doubt that anyone here would relish the thought of walking through a neighborhood of gang bangers

    Your solution sounds simple; deny people guns and they will be good people and present no danger to anyone; grant them guns and mayhem will ensue.

    Yes there are crazy people out there and very intelligent citizens often elect them to high office. Hitler was elected by the most educated population that the western world had yet seen; very much more sophisticated than our present population.

    The fault you see dear Lisa lies in ourselves; not in our guns. Should the police have guns? Why they are no more sane than you or I; in fact, often less so.

    You speak of gun deaths in Europe. In the 20th century Europe saw at least 30 million gun deaths even though most of it citizens were denied easy access to firearms. That’s’ a tough act to follow. Switzerland where every male citizen between young man to senior citizen s is required to keep a fully automatic weapon (machine gun) in his home. They escaped the great European gun slaughters of the 20th century. This does not fit your model does it?

    The typical leftist response is to ignore data that does not confirm ones hypothesis but I think you are too smart for that.

    Waco, Columbine, and Va Tech have almost nothing in common. In Waco the gun nuts were Janet Reno’s justice department. They knowingly immolated dozen of children then buried the evidence of it with bulldozers before an independent crime scene investigation could commence. An armed government with an unarmed citizenry is the most dangerous thing we could have if we use history as our guide.

    In Columbine we and Va Tech we had a target rich environment combined with homicidal maniacs. Gasoline has been more effectively used to kill large groups at random. Shall we ban gasoline?

    While Ido not have all the guns I need, I need all the guns I have. What I don’t need is someone from any government, local, state,or federal, telling me what I do or don’t need, and backing up their dictum with the threat of the force of arms if I disagree.

    It’s all about diversification … you can never have too many non-perishable food items either. …as for Gold and other investments, you can’t eat it, and as weapons go it is way too expensive. We are most definitely headed into a very dark period in our nation’s short history and it is very good to be prepared.

  • Rode Eyland Redd

    You violant cowboys are little girls at hart, even if you manag to pull a gun without shooting yourself in your dainty little feet, a criminal will take it away from you and that’s it. Statisticics indicate 90% of homeowners who pull guns are shot with their own weapons. Disarm America and let the police protect you from yourselfs.

  • Josh Biggs

    Hmmmm………….. Obama wants to imprison US citizens without trial and they wonder why gun sales are skyrocketing???

    Rode is either a moron or a criminal…. The police aren’t there to protect you they are their to investigate your death. As a military vet i would have no problem pulling the trigger and The make my day law has been very successful in my state.

    Yeah, what a happy story. More legitimate gun ownership, more self-defense training, and more sense of self-reliance. What more could we ask for? This is a symptom of increasing disinterest is “government can save me, I want to live in a bubble” thinking. Its good for America.

  • Capt Gene

    You are absolutely right! It’s good to know the police are only minutes away and in some cases, many, many minutes away. Meanwhile, as I used to ask rape victims who thought the police would protect them, “Don’t you wish the telephone had turned into a .38?” My job was not to prevent crime; it was to respond to it. By the way: You should read the work of Dr. John Lott, professor, University of Chicago. He has shown — and it has yet to be refuted — that INCREASED gun ownership has REDUCED violent crime.

  • Jim In Frankfort

Ask yourself this, “If I were a criminal and I wanted an easy target, would I go to the house where there is a firearm or to a house I know has no weapons?” This is a no brainer.
    The police are merely there to clean up the mess. There is no way on this eart that the police can protect each and everyone of us.

    “An armed citezen , is a free citezen, an unarmed citizen are merely subjects”

    By being armed then being in the wrong place at the wrong time becomes being in the right place at the right time to stop all types of crime. If more people were armed then a crimminal would have to think twice before they broke the law because they would never know who would be around with a gun to stop them

    Dear Little RI “Red”,
    You sound so “cute” with your cutsey retoric. I too come from “Little Rhody”, only I had the good sense to drop the east coast bias against armed self defense. Your statistics are as skewed as your bias. I suggest you look up what professor John Lott’s statistics have to say on the matter. Unless you carry a cop in your back pocket, you must agree that: “When seconds count, the police are only minutes away”. I’ve been there and know whereof I speak.

    Everyone, liberal or conservative (most here would probably consider me a liberal), should support a right to purchase, train with, and use if necessary a firearm.

    “Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the people’s liberty teeth keystone… the rifle and the pistol are equally indispensable… more than 99% of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference. When firearms go, all goes, we need them every hour.”

    -George Washington

  • w. cook

    “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms…disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one.”

    The Right of owning a gun has nothing to do with protecting you from criminals. It’s sole and direct reason for inclusion in the Bill of Rights was for The People to kill the US Government. Remember that when you purchase your Arms.

    RER. According to FBI records, on average it takes the police over ten minutes to respond to a category one call. Considering I can kill you in a mater of seconds – do the math. (Better to have it and not need it, then be a whiner who will get killed eitherway)

    What most people never realize is that law enforcement is remedial, they may find your killer after you’re dead. In the absence of a cop at every door, you’re on your own until such time as help arrives. So now all those who claim the police’s job is to protect the individual, dig up the statistics for response time, that’s the time saved towards your life by having your own defenses.

  • SirGareth

    I do not know how it is where you live but my friends and I are all hunters and can kill a bird on the wing in a matter of a second or two after it flushes.

    Now let me tell you something, I really have nothing against upland game birds; I rather like them and would leave them alone had not God made them so tasty.

    Now suppose someone is in my house without my permission at 4:00AM and I am awakened. I’m a light sleeper so it might take me two seconds to find my loaded revolver. The next second I shout a warning that I’ve got a gun and if my intruder doesn’t make haste for the exit, I will kill him with far less regrets than I shoot a bird on the wing.

    I would not want to be in my house as and intruder. A bird on the wing has better survival chances

    Good for you, NEVER allow politicians to disarm you. The clear fact is that people who live in the spirit of the golden rule do not need a permit to carry and never have.

    As a “Former Law Enforcement Range Officer” the number one priority for a “Bullet proof vest,is to be able to stop the cartridge,the officers are issued. 25-40 % of Officers shot ,are shot with their weapon or their partners weapon.
    I was asked to join the small town Police Deptartment,due to shooting “Combat Matches” 3 of 4 week-Ends per month,and developed tactics that kept honest folks alive,including Police Officers. In 13 months I investigated 4 murders,in town of 2,000 population.Only one was killed by a weapon,and he was beat to death by it,as it was used a “Club”. Other weapons used were Large Rocks,knives and any other instrument close by that could be used to end a persons life. Gun laws only infringe upon those who obey the law. If someone is willing to commit murder,do you think a “Gun Law” is going to stop them? Like Drug laws & Drunk driving laws ? Police are “Re-Active” to crime,not pro-Active to stop it.Most Police officers are satisfied with present gun Laws,not the time served by the criminal,after their sentance is cut 1/3rd for work time & 1/3 rd time for “Good Behavior”. They only servre 1/3rd of a 20 year,to Life” sentance,which is less than 8 years. Most violent crimes are committed by previously convicted criminals, 66% to 80% according to demographics
