I just stopped in a LGS today. They usually had a seperate room with 6-8 tables full of guns. Today there was 1 and half. We asked what happened to all your guns?? He just stated "We had an un believeable Christmas" He said the store was packed and everyone was buying something.

Remember what Yamamoto said about the U.S.?

I hope others are taking note.

S&W stock is worth over a dollar more than I paid for it.

This statistic is even more fun when you compare and contrast it to this information:

FBI — Latest Crime Statistics: Volumes Continue to Fall

More guns, less crime?!? Oh the horror!!!!

The Kentucky statistics are what really amaze me. I understand the individual spirt of many Kentuckians, but to consistantly be at the top of the NICs check list nationwide is really amazing relative to the population.

Personally I credit Ruger for all these sales. They are just coming out with too many firearms that appeal to me.

What really makes me laugh is that I saw a newspaper article on this and the anti-gun crew was saying that the increased numbers of NCIC Checks is a concentrated effort from gun sellers to give the "illusion" of increased sales by calling in "questionable" amounts of checks by the sellers and gun manufacturers.If it makes them feel better to think that then they can live in thier land of make believe.....Mike

The gunstores I went into this past Christmas season all looked to be fairly busy. The local Cabelas was a zoo in the gun department.

Perhaps Americans are getting ready for "The Big Crazy".
