1.1 million gun background checks done in June. On target for 16 million in 2011

[Logical]

At least 1.1 million guns sold in June! Maybe more, because some background checks equal more than one gun sold. And many states do not require background checks for CCW license holders. This also does not count private sales that bypass the NICS system.

More armed Americans than ever and the crime and murder rate continues to fall!

And now Illinois is the only state does does now allow CCW. This means Wisconsin citizens now will be able to defend themselves against criminals who will always find a way to obtain gun illegally!

Once us Democrats stop fighting this, the sooner the GOP and NRA can stop using it against us!

1. The background check count also doesn't include interstate sales to licensed collectors

Like me.

Waiting on a package, in fact.

2. I've only bought one this year....private sale...or gunshow loophole that is.

I normally shoot for 4 new or new to me guns each year. I bought my first one in Jan, I'm at least one behind right now. But there's a gun show this weekend...

3. I bought two this year so far. I'm exempted from the NICS check though.
