Thanks for the link, Recusant. Interesting. I hope it continues!

Good link, thanks, now we need ammo for these guns.....

 

[benstt]

Man, I want it to slow down a lot so I can get what I'm looking for and some ammo.

Illinois had one million plus sold over the second State in the list. Are they counting the guns sold on the street in Chicago . Heck, that’s a lot of guns sold in a month.

That's an insane amount of guns in comparison to the next 2 highest states, especially when you consider the total population of Illinois compared to the rest, as well as the fact they are one of the toughest gun control states in the country.

Certainly is telling, isn't it? =)

I have a sneaking impression that our resident Illinois forum member @papa, might have bought at least 1/2 of those Illinois firearms sold last March

Humorously, laser kits to transform regular ammo fed guns into lasers could really get gun grabbers feathers ruffled? Unfortunately, we'd all trip on the darned extension cords?

Note to MSN: 5 of the last 7 are not states.

Something about that IL number tells me there's something wrong there.

Agreed on the IL thing.

Man I couldn't even get myself to click on an MSN link. Where did Missouri rank?

 

[MrRooney]

Did anyone take the poll at the end? "To what extent, if at all, are you personally concerned about the record-breaking surge in gun sales?" I did and the final % for not at all concerned is 64.

I’m not sure why anyone would want to give any data, much less polling information to MSNBC.

Or personal information. To anyone. Just me but I have only answered the US census one time in my life and submitted false information then. Yeah, I know. Lawbreaker. Counting heads is one thing but two pages of personal information including dwelling construction, # of rooms, #baths, relationships, own/rent/share/free, etc. ect. ect. Trash. Uncle Sammy has the biggest and longest nose..........................

Agree 100%. The only time I ever filled out a census was this year and I too gave them fake information.
