| All Patriots Are Obligated to Be Armed and Ready American Patriots and Guns All Patriots Are Obligated to Be Armed and Ready "The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic." --Joseph StoryOn the most recent "Black Friday," the day after Thanksgiving, which has become the biggest commercial sales day of the year, despite the continuing economic decline, there were record sales in one notable product category: Guns. According to Stephen Fischer, director of the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System, "NICS experienced its highest number of transactions processed since system inception [in 1998], with 154,873, which is nearly 20 percent over the 129,166 processed on Black Friday 2011." This year's total checks will undoubtedly beat last year's record of 16.4 million. In fact, the top 10 record gun sales days have occurred since Barack Obama's election in 2008, and gun ownership has skyrocketed over the last four years. According to a worldwide survey conducted the year before Obama's election, though the United States had only 5% of the world's population, Americans owned 50% of the world's guns. Of course, unlike virtually every other nation, Americans are ensured the incontrovertible right to arm themselves. The current estimate of legally and privately held guns in the U.S. is more than 250 million (the average gun-owning household having three guns). NextJen likes this.
