Good News on the Gun Front

Data from the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) show background checks on the sale of firearms jumped 23.3 percent in February when compared to February 2008. The increase follows a 28 percent rise in January, a 24 percent rise in December and a 42 percent jump in November, when a record 1,529,635 background checks were performed. - From Opposing Views web page

This is good news - More guns in the hands of Citizens makes for a safer country and adds to the checks and balances of the Second Amendment. It also means more folks are taking notice of their rights and safety of themselves and their family. Spin it any way you want but not all of these folks are gun owners buying more guns. . .. Many of them are new gun owners. Let's make sure they get the training they need to enjoy the sports and know the defensive use of their new gun.
