Murder down, Gun sales up: Proof that guns don’t cause crime
By Second Amendment Foundation
Monday, December 21, 2009
A ten percent drop in murders during the first six months of this year at a time when gun sales were up dramatically is more proof that there is no correlation between gun ownership and violent crime, the Second Amendment Foundation said today.
The FBI released data Monday that shows murders dropped by 10 percent from the same period in 2008. Meanwhile, according to data released by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) shows that during the first six months of this year, gun sales were up. January 2009 background checks rose 28.8 percent over the same month in 2008, February’s NICS checks were up 23.3 percent and in March they were up 29.9 percent over March 2008. The trend continued in April, with NICS checks up 30.3 percent, while May showed a slowdown, up only 15.5 percent, and in June they were up 18.1 percent.

The American people are arming themselves at a alarming rate never seen in history. Why? not because of crime, but because an unstable out of control government is threatening their future as well as their childrens.

What we need is to have the states start to call up their militias to protect themselves from all invaders foreign and "domestic". Even though the Federal is a domestic entity, the moment it steps into a states' land, it is a foreign invader. That is why the states are considered free and sovereign entities. They are only brought together in the Union by mutual agreements.
