Gun Salesman of the Year


Or Decade?

...a twenty-four percent increase in background checks for 2008 ... follows a forty-two percent (42%) increase in November 2008, the highest number of NICS checks in the system's history ... on Tuesday, January 6, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) issued a notice ... that "an unprecedented increase in demand for ATF Form 4473 had run supplies low enough that dealers were temporarily given permission to photocopy the form until supplies caught up with demand.


Unintended consequences.
Unintended consequences.
Unintended consequences.

Remember Lily


Lily Burk's story is about a young girl's trust and our failure as a society. It includes a family friend of hers who joins the discussion and unbelievably offers the beliefs that perpetuate these horrors. Read the posts and comments starting here.
Never forget that these people exist.

Remember James Broadnax


He wounded and executed two Christian music producers for $2 and a car so he wouldn't have to walk home. Watch the interview with the remorseless murderer that changed my life.
Never forget that these people exist.
