You would think if guns cause crime that record gun sales would cause record crime...

If the government started a program to give every employed tax paying citizen a gun for their home, those stats would drop another 50%.
Up to date on taxes

no felonies
Mandatory IN DEPTH gun safety training
PROFIT...way less crimes and way less need for high police budgets.

Gun homicides have been going down since the Brady Bill was passed. Go figure.
Guns aren't the primary issue. Keeping them in the hands of responsible gun owners' hands is.

I think Obama's presidency has been incredible for gun and ammo sales.

they have guns in the mid-east and there is lots of war there so obviously guns cause war..
I know... but to them it would make sense.
