Gun sales shoot up at Christmas
KGET 17 News ^ | 12/21/11 | staff

Flat screen TVs and laptops are always popular gifts at Christmas. But, a different kind of present is triggering people's interest this holiday season. Gun sales are up at outdoor shops around Bakersfield...........

Be careful when you check those stockings by the fireplace this year because there could be a pistol inside. As shoppers crowd into stores these last few days before Christmas looking for that perfect gift, some shoppers are dropping the gift cards and grabbing a Glock.

At Second Amendment Sports, sales have spiked in recent weeks. "We're up 25% from last year," said Jennifer McKenna.

And I only bought three in the last month....

I'm slowing down. I only bought one last week.

Oops, almost forgot the Makarov I picked up last month, too!

And I'm getting my 1911 tuned up.

Probably paperwork. My local shop was interupted for 2 months because of paperwork licensing... now they cannot stop selling guns with a huge turn over of used firearms trading.

A renewal of the so called “gun culture” (a leftist term, by the way) is important. It really is about the ability as a citizen to protect yourself from law enforcement when investigating government corruption.

But many gay mall “santa claus and red nose raindeer” businesses out there are plaid a political dhimmit prostitute card of importance in gunlessness and gutlessness.

Too many die at the hands of governments worldwide without anyone knowing about it because these have no firearms and no means to let neighbors know to organize the situation. Without guns, your witness voice is on a countdown to death in anonimity, kind of like deathcare and euthanasia.
