During November 2015 a little more than 2.2 million people bought a gun requiring a National Instance Criminal Background Check.  So far, there have been over 19.8 million checks this year.  This is not exactly a new trend.  There were over 21 million checks during 2013.

While the liberal left is screaming for gun control, honest citizens all over the country are buying guns.  We should put this in perspective.  During the November 2012 election there were approximately 235 million eligible voters and a little more than 129 million people actually voted.  In order to win an election, a candidate needs to collect 50.1% of the vote.  This means it will probably take a little over 65 million voters to win the next national election.   About 1/3 of that total bought a gun this year.  Since the 2012 election, close to 60 million people have bought guns.   Even if we assume a lot of duplicates, that is a lot of people buying a lot of guns.

It is really quite simple.  If you wait for the police to get arrive on scene and save the day you are likely to end up dead. In San Bernardino the police responded in 4 ½ minutes.  By the time they got there the shooters were gone, 14 people were dead and many more injured.  The police got there they found a lot of people hiding in another room.  They were afraid to make an entry because they feared these people were being held hostage. Those of you watching this play out on the news will remember the “active shooter” reports etc.  If there had been an active shooter, it might have been quite a while before police determined it was safe to make an entry.  So, how long would you be willing to wait?

What would have happened if there had been someone there with a CCW.?  One thing is certain.  It could hardly have been worse.

The liberal left is convinced that a gun owner is more likely to shoot themselves than a criminal.  That is nonsense.  It ignores the simple reality that in most cases when an armed citizen draws a gun in self-defense the bad guys leaves. Most of the shootings are gang related. If you doubt that, watch the news for shootings in your area.  Check out how many are “gang related.”

Now tell me about the last time you heard about someone being shot with their own gun.  Don’t remember?  Tell me the last time you heard about a CCW holder shooting an innocent bystander.  Don’t remember that either.  If that was happening, you would know.  The liberal left would jump to exploit that the same way they reacted to the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown cases.

The question is this: “If you were trapped in a building and there was some terrorist shooting everyone in sight, would you rather have a gun or not?”  Last month more than 2 million people answered that by buying a gun.

A lot of those people are going to vote.  Democrats are rapidly running out of stupid people.
