The Kansas Attorney General's office has been inundated with applications for licenses to carry concealed handguns in the first three weeks of this year.
The Kansas Attorney General's office has been inundated with applications for licenses to carry concealed handguns in the first three weeks of this year.
Assistant attorney general C.W. Klebe told legislators Wednesday that the office has processed 2,000 applications so far this year. He says his office might be on pace to process up to 20,000 applications this year.
Klebe wouldn't speculate on a reason for the increase.
But Sen. Rob Olson of Olathe says he believes Kansans are afraid of gun control measures being proposed by President Barack Obama.
The Obama administration has proposed renewing a ban on assault weapons, restricting the sale of magazines that hold 20 or 30 rounds or more of ammunition and tightening background checks on gun buyers.

Hell the reason is our president. He is on coarse of creating another Nazi Germany right here. This guys a joke. Then we have in many communitee's where lawenforcement consists of ticket writing. For many years the leaders of these communitee's saw the highway patrol produce big revenues just writing tickets day in and day out. There is no money to be made catching crooks.

"As University of Chicago law professor Bernard Harcourt wrote in 2004, nearly all private gun ownership in Germany was banned in 1919 to comply with the Treaty of Versailles. The law was loosened a bit in 1928, and with the Nazis in power in 1938, rifle and shotgun possession were deregulated, and gun rights for hunters, Nazi Party members and government officials were expanded. The legal age to own a gun also was lowered. The only people prohibited from owning firearms were Jews." From executive editor Salina Journal

We need our guns especially since Mexico is invading our Country and the president is doing nothing to stopping the invasion.
