Gun sales are "thriving"

While the economy crashes, gun sales are thriving. Two factors- worry about new gun controls under Obama and worry about increased crime. "purchases of firearms and ammunition have risen 8 to 10 percent this year, according to state and federal data... people often buy firearms during periods of uncertainty. People often buy weapons because of concerns about personal safety or government actions to limit access to firearms, causing spikes in sales, Kleck said."

Woman fights for right to carry gun to kid's soccer game, wins

She actually went to court and the judge said she could do it, but questioned her judgment. "She had lost the permit after other parents complained last month that she was carrying her loaded handgun in a holster at her daughter's soccer game... Judge Robert Eby says even though the law required him to give her the permit back, he questioned whether Hain showed good judgment by ignoring other parents' safety concerns."

Anti-violence anti-gun activist was actually paid spy for NRA

(allegedly)- Mary Lou McFate served as an anti-gun activist for over a decade. Turns out she may have been on the payroll of the NRA, feeding it information. Does the NRA stay awake all night in a paranoid trance, rocking back and forth stroking its guns, staring at its lawn? From the article: "A gun-control activist who championed the cause for more than a decade and served on the boards of two anti-violence groups is suspected of working as a paid spy for the National Rifle Association, and now those organizations are expelling her and sweeping their offices for bugs...The 62-year-old former flight attendant and sex counselor ...infiltrated an animal-rights group in the late 1980s...and befriended an activist who was later convicted in a pipe bomb attack "

Mayor Richard Daley on Tuesday implored residents to hand over their guns in exchange for prepaid gift cards despite questions about the program's effectiveness and reluctant corporate sponsorship. Daley was quick to defend the program, in which gun owners can turn over their weapons "no questions asked" from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday in exchange for $100 a gun.
