Good information, which I'm sure would be borne out by national statistics as well. Problem is, this type of very real information will never gain much national attention, because it doesn't fit in with the media's agenda.

Honestly all Obama and his band of idiots have accomplished and are likely to accomplish seeing the backlash against his little power play is to make certain there are more firearms in the hands of more people than before he opened his yap. Which is a good thing by the way.
