Sadly, the fact that this information comes from the one major broadcast news network that is NOT squarely in the Messiah's pocket will disqualify it's credibility in the eyes of the anti's.
I love waking up every morning knowing that Donald Trump is President!!

I just sent Pelosi, Reed and Campbell Brown, Lou Dobbs and Glenn Beck a copy of the article from the Fox website.  The first three won't care.  The last two will.   ;)

I have no idea how they came up with that number, but that number is alot more pluasable then the 90%.

i'd bet the number of guns that came from the US that were not stolen or bought in "straw" purchases is less then 1%.   Most of those were bought FTF in states that allow it, but still a very small number compared to those stolen.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.
