If you notice, the states that loosened gun laws were the states that felt the most threatened by this Administration. As such, this should come as no surprise to anyone.

If I were the states with tight gun controls, i'd be afraid that your constituency is illegally armed (ie. criminals have guns, law-abiders don't), while the rest of the nation is armed legally and more than ready for whatever event that may confront them. Something to think about.

They were also going to come for our children. Does this mean we can let them out of the basement?

Default I thought they were coming to take our guns away?

Is Obama still proposing coming after all the white women, too?

If wasn't just states, the Federal laws were loosened too. Like the abolishion of the ban to carry in national parks. The whole gun-grab thing was just a huge pile of steamy Limbaugh and Glenn Beck BS.

Of course, it's a brain dead thing that has nothing to do with politics.

NRA says "Democrats, they are going to take our guns!"

People buy more guns just in case, big upswing in business.

No one looks back at the NRA members who screamed it are the ones who own the gun stores.

As is right more often than not, if you want the truth, follow the $$$.
