Interesting statistic on concealed carry

There are about a million concealed carry permit holders in Florida alone, up from about 770k in 2010. Wow!

And of that million how many have committed a crime using a gun?

Doesn't matter. Of all the murders committed in America only 1% or less are mass murders with a firearm, but that won't stop the left from infringing on our rights with new legislation......with the eager assistance of the neo cons.

If this were National Public Radio, the answer would probably be "all of them". This is because it's difficult not to commit some crime every day, whether it be jay walking, speeding, etc. Such crimes would be counted on the assumption that they had the gun with them at the scene of their crime.

This brings up a real good point.  Why doesn't the NRA and the rest of the gun owners organizations put their heads together and put on a gun owners march on DC.  Have the owners bring a couple of pieces along and if it worked out right, maybe they could just morph it into a full blown rebellion and clean that craphole out.  It could be the greatest patriotic demonstration ever.

The point isn't in USING guns and bombs to "clean that craphole out".  A call to that end is Civil War and quite frankly wrong. 

Those of us, on GBO at least, are EDUCATED; we READ AND WRITE; we LOOK BEYOND the rhetoric of the campaign advertisements; we can tell the useful from the useless because we THINK and use our gray matter.  We post opinions and read the opinions of others, all of which matters to us.  While we may not always agree, we stand by the right to express ourselves.  Too many hapless idiots in the USA do not even get to that point.

The American Masses are UNEDUCATED, UNINFORMED, UNTHINKING, willing to be kept in poverty, and thus easily lead by the Media and Progressive Left into believing what they want them to believe.  Until THAT PROBLEM is solved, we will continue to be a divided Nation.

The NRA and CCW licensees are no Front Line of Defense.  Each of us has a God Given Right, under the United States Constitution, to KEEP AND BEAR ARMS.  Licensure is an INFRINGEMENT on that right.

It sure seems to me that we are fast approaching that time when it will be necessary to not just keep, but to actually bear those arms.

Do we UNITE to confront an evil that threatens each of us equally, say Global Nuclear Warfare, the American Fiscal Cliff, eradicating Racial hatred, guaranteeing Human Rights, or DIVIDE into Conservatives v. Liberals, Gun Owners v. Anti's, Black/Asian/Muslim v. White/Hispanic/Christian, etc.?

Nothing we write changes the course of history.  Only our actions can and the Historian archives the turning points and courses taken, which we know more often than not is rewritten into what the Dictator In Power wishes to be maintained.
