Firearms are far more widespread than they were just decades ago, and violence crime has fallen.

Not only has the aggregate number of firearms increased but the number of firearms PER PERSON HAS DOUBLED! Well, all I can say is “Give me some more of that old time (gun control) religion.”Now, with Obama’s re-election, we are in the middle of another buying frenzy. But do these citizen disarmament freaks learn? Why no. They are busy proposing another more onerous AWB and other restrictions, and if they can’t get these through the Congress, it is believed that ATF rule making can accomplish the same results extra-legally.
