Black Friday firearms sales sends Brady Bunch into mourning -- and self-delusions. Paranoid is as paranoid does.

I miss Paulie. He had his stuff together a lot better than that paranoid nut Henigan.

Courtesy of a link at Keepandbeararms.com, we have this bit of good news: "Guns Were A Big Seller On Black Friday."

Gun dealers flooded the FBI with background check requests for prospective buyers last Friday, smashing the single-day, all-time high by 32%, according to bureau records.

Deputy Assistant FBI Director Jerry Pender said the checks, required by federal law, surged to 129,166 during the day, far surpassing the previous high of 97,848 on Black Friday of 2008.

The actual number of firearms sold last Friday is likely higher because multiple firearms can be included in a transaction by a single buyer. And the FBI does not track actual gun sales.

But not everyone is happy.

Dennis Henigan, acting president of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, said he was "skeptical" of the Black Friday gun surge.

"I think there may be no real significance at all," Henigan said. "It's possible that gun companies are just catching on to creating a Black Friday frenzy for themselves."

Huh?

Is he, like, saying that the industry has the ability to make up NICS checks, or that they went out and bought a bunch of guns themselves so they could get a headline?

Sheesh, and they call US "paranoid"?

Robert Fowler said...: I had the best Friday I have ever had at the gun show last weekend. Friday night alone my sales surpassed both previous shows. Henigan should just face the fact that they are losing. When they have to resort to selling their e-mail lists to raise money, well what can you say.; December 3, 2011 at 10:52 AM
Bad Cyborg said...: Whistling past a graveyard. That's all they're doing. You can't tell them anything because they do not live in the real world but in the world they WISH were real.

For people like Henigan the ship isn't sinking and 90% sunk it's 10% afloat.

To Anon @ 07:09 on 10/3;
Leftists do not understand history. Read Marx (or at least the Cliff's Notes version) and try to figure what history sources he derived his conclusions from. You cannot. Marxism is a religion. Worse it is a religion that continues despite all evidence refuting its tenets. While no testable fact in the Bible has ever been refuted, no part of Marxism is based in historical reality. Marxism is a pipe dream and its adherents psychotics who live is the castles in those pipe dreams. George Bernard Shaw is supposed to have said/written “Some see things as they are and ask ,why? I dream of things that never were and ask ,why not?,” That's all very well and good but when you try to explain to them "why not" they are incapable of understanding.; December 3, 2011 at 4:43 PM

Nothing to see here, move along.; December 3, 2011 at 10:22 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
