There’s a very good reason that the Magic Marxist Messiah & His Mental Midget Moronic Minions™ are shaking in their recycled plastic wannabe jackboots— They see this kind of response to their New New Deal Stalinist 5-Year Plan.

TALLAHASSEE — People in Florida are fearful of the economic future, and one way they are coping is by buying guns.

It’s not just the “economic future” that has people “fearful“, our good lil’ journaljizmer. There’s a little thing called “personal liberty” that’s being buried faster than Vince Foster’s body.

The state office that issues concealed weapons permits is buried under a backlog of 95,000 applications, and doesn’t have enough money in its budget to do the job. A legislative budget panel is being asked to approve a midyear budget transfer of nearly $4 million to catch up to the demand for permits.

Now there’s some “HOPE!” that you can take to the bank, right there. Dictatorships absolutely hate an armed citizenry and they’ll use every ruse and justification (“It’s For The Chillllllrenz!”, being the meme d’ jour.) to make damned sure that The People don’t have the means to defend and rid themselves of their overlords. (See: Shi’ite majority in Saddam’s Iraq & Germany circa 1939, for just two examples.)

”People are getting scared,” said Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson. “The economy is scaring them. They don’t want their houses broken into.”

With all due respect to Commissioner Bronson (He’s a good guy and very good Ag Commissioner), We The People aren’t getting CCW’s so that we can protect themselves in our houses (We’ve already got the New & Improved Castle Doctrine here in FL.)— We’re getting them so that we can protect ourselves on the streets. But, yes, people are getting more and more scared, each and every day, as they see what Hell “Teh 52’s” (along with their boot-licking, ankle-grabbing RINO friends) have wrought upon our country.

F.E.T.E.
