Goodness. If guns were being used solely for bad purposes, with that amount of ammo being purchased and used, there wouldn’t be anyone left alive anywhere.

Someone, somewhere, must be finding other things to use guns for other than murder and mayhem…

Which explains why Port George County D.C’s number of slayings last year in the District, was 140, a 25 percent drop from ’08. This county being previously known as the murder capital of the US now registers the county’s lowest in nine years. New York City had an even sharper drop in homicides. From a peak of 2,245 in 1990 to just over 461 for 2009 – a drop of nearly 80%. Hmm, one cannot help but wonder what caused this terrific drop. Surely couldn’t have anything to do with the sharp increase in U.S. gun sales since Obama took office, now could it? One can only conclude that when the Constitution we see eroded, then folks take to being locked and loaded.

ANYTHING the people do that doesn’t square with the government supremacists’ agenda is dismissed as irrational. Arming yourself says you 1) Do not trust the government to protect you and 2) You are taking personal responsibility for yourself.

Both are bad, bad behaviors.

Whereas the United States Constitution Has been Eliminated; Anyone Possessing Any Kind Of A Firearm Is Heretofore Labeled An ” Enemy Combatant ” And Will Be Treated Accordingly By The Government!! You Betcha!!!
