Another 1,000,000+ Guns Added to American Homes in August

Background Checks On Firearm Sales Up 12% In August.
Americans buy 1,074,757+ guns in August 2009

Washington, DC --(AmmoLand.com)- Data released by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) reported 1,074,757 checks in August 2009, a 12.3 percent increase from the 956,872 reported in August 2008.

So far that is roughly 9,076,205 gun bought this year! The total is probably more as NICS background checks may cover the purchase of more than one gun at a time.
This latest jump in background checks show that Americans are solidly in-favor of keeping firearms in the hands of law abiding citizens and clearly shows that proponents claiming the USA wants more gun control are blatantly wrong.

Gun Owners Say No to Gun Conrtol with their Wallets

The increased trend of Americans buying firearms at a record pace was once thought to be a one time fluke caused by fears of the new Obama administration expressed lust for more gun control. But now 10 months in and the wrongly named “fear buying” has now become the norm as law abiding US citizen exercise their constitutional right to keep and bear firearms by the millions every month with no sign of slowing down.

The bulk of the buying has been concentrated on the following types of guns or calibers:

Semi Auto Handguns
Revolvers
Ar15s and all variants of the Black Rifle
.50 Caliber

1.17 Guns for Each Person

Conservative estimates of legally owned guns in the USA put the number at 355,029,250 million guns in the USA. That is 1.17 guns for everyone in the USA and if you listen to the liberal press they are all assault weapons. God bless anyone who tries to invade the USA…

Crime Rates Falling

The most stunning in all of this is that we have not seen an increase in crime, murder rates have fallen across most of the USA and Americans have shown that they can be trusted with firearms ownership. This is directly in contrast to what the national media and gun control supporters would have us believe.

Gun owners you are clearly the majority!

Rapid City paper/TV just did a story last month on this.....sales are still strong mostly on handguns....The reason was mostly safety...with the economy in the tank and more desperate people out there....only one mentioned OBama and gun Control...

Thinking now it was regarding women and handguns...they interviewed some gun toting mommas.. like how and where they concealed it..:D

A shotgun is better in some cases and far worse in others. There is no universally perfect self protection firearm. Movies have wrongly convinced folks to have a shotgun and rack the slide because the sound will scare the pants off the bad guys. Wrong. Racking the slide informs the bad guys of what weapon they need to defend against and where you are located. Yes, the sound will have an effect on some but with others it just makes you far more likely to lose.

The best defense is a properly set safe room in your home and a household that knows what to do in case of emergency.

Crime rate is falling except for the Detroit area, we're having an increase in crime and more bizarre stuff going on.

So far we have had more animal beatings and killings outside the dog fighting and more people being burnt alive than ever before. Some of the stuff that doesn't make the news is the car jackings and the shootings.

We have had a few dismemberment crimes, one just recently where someone admitted to cutting the guy up and stuffing him in a freezer with pork chops and steaks.

Robbery is up, and so is car theft.

The Detroit area is getting to be just plain WIERD!! It is time to "dis-mantel" the entire area!! It may already be beyond fixing in it's current state and current politics.

O O I this Country boys over his limit.

Joebusby sent the Below to me and does any one here know the Validity of this below?

If its true geesh I no think I like this at all

If the below is true well then Joebusby is telling the truth
any way he sent it to me.


Senate Bill SB-2099 will require you to put on your 2009 1040 federal
tax form all guns that you have or own. It may require fingerprints and a
tax of $50 per gun.


Concerning the Blair-Holt proposed legislation. Senate Bill SB-2099 will
require us to put on our 2009 1040 federal tax form all guns that you
have or own. It may require fingerprints and a tax of $50 per gun.

This bill was introduced on Feb. 24. This bill will become public
knowledge 30 days after it is voted into law. This is an amendment to the
Internal Revenue Act of 1986. This means that the Finance Committee can
pass this without the Senate voting on it at all.

The full text of the proposed amendment is on the U.S. Senate homepage,
http://www.senate.gov/ <http://www.senate.gov/> You can find the bill by
doing a search by the bill number, SB-2099.

You know who to call; I strongly suggest you do.

Please send a copy of this e-mail to every gun owner you know.

Congress is now starting on the firearms confiscation bill. If it passes,
gun owners will become criminals if you don't fully comply.

It has started.

Very Important for you to be aware of a new bill HR 45 introduced into the
House. This is the Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act of
2009.

Even gun shop owners didn't know about this because the government is
trying to fly it under the radar.

To find out about this - go to any government website and type in HR 45
or Google HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of
2009. You will get all the information.

Basically this would make it illegal to own a firearm any rifle with a
clip or ANY pistol unless:

-It is registered
-You are fingerprinted
-You supply a current Driver's License
-You supply your Social Security #
-You will submit to a physical & mental evaluation at any time of their
choosing -Each update change or ownership through private or public sale
must be reported and costs $25 -Fa ilure to do20so you automatically lose
the right to own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail. -There is
a child provision clause on page 16 section 305 stating a child-access
provision. -Gun must be locked and inaccessible to any child under
-They would have the right to come and inspect that you are storing your
gun safely away from accessibility to children and fine is punishable for
up to 5 yrs. in prison.

If you th ink this is a joke - go to the website and take your pick of
many options to read this. It is long and lengthy. But, more and more
people are becoming aware of this. Pass the word along.

Any hunters in your family pass this along.

This is just a "termite" approach to complete confiscation of guns and
disarming of our society to the point we have no defense – chip away a
little here and there until the goal is accomplished before anyone
realizes it.

This is one to act on whether you own a gun or not.

If you take my gun, only the criminal will have one to use against me. HR
45 only makes me/us less safe.
