AP: FEWER EXCITED GUN-BUYERS IN COLO, CONN.... But gun checks ~double in both states.

[wacki]

Gotta love the deceptive title of this associated press article:

Fewer excited gun-buyers in Colo. and Conn.

Buried in toward the bottom:

Yet the Connecticut shootings energized gun buyers more: Background checks surged in December to nearly 2.8 million, compared to 1.6 million in October.

One of my friends in CT is trying to buy a Glock 17, 30 and 19 and despite visiting multiple stores... can't find one anywhere. So I'm sure the "lackluster" 1.2 million gun surge in the puny state of CT would be bigger if they actually had any guns left.
