| 1.1 million gun background checks done in June. On target for 16 million in 2011 |
|
At least 1.1 million guns sold in June! Maybe more, because some background checks equal more than one gun sold. And many states do not require background checks for CCW license holders. This also does not count private sales that bypass the NICS system.
More armed Americans than ever and the crime and murder rate continues to fall!
And now Illinois is the only state does does now allow CCW. This means Wisconsin citizens now will be able to defend themselves against criminals who will always find a way to obtain gun illegally!
Once us Democrats stop fighting this, the sooner the GOP and NRA can stop using it against us!

I normally shoot for 4 new or new to me guns each year. I bought my first one in Jan, I'm at least one behind right now. But there's a gun show this weekend...
