Here is just another excuse for me to buy a new gun.

(2007-12-17) — Republican Presidential candidate Fred Thompson today, upon hearing that rival Ron Paul’s supporters had raised $6 million in 24 hours to commemorate the Boston Tea Party, called on his supporters to match that figure in gun purchases before Christmas to mark George Washington’s victory at the Battle of Trenton.
“I’m tired of running around the country raising money that I just have to hand over to the same mainstream media companies that ignore my campaign,” said the former senator from Tennessee. “We’ve done enough this year to support the so-called free press of the first amendment. Let’s give a boost to our friends who make it possible for us to exercise our second amendment right to keep and bear arms.”
“Go out and get your sweetie a nice personal protection sidearm,” said Mr. Thompson, “or buy your kid his first shotgun. If you have a few bucks leftover, go ahead and get that civil liberties insurance device you’ve been thinking about for yourself. I’d like to get ten or twelve thousand more firearms into the hands of law-abiding Americans, purchased from local merchants in hometowns across the nation.”
Thompson supporters can visit the Fred ‘08 campaign website to anonymously report how much they spent on handguns, rifles and other firearms before midnight December 25, the eve of Washington’s crossing the Delaware in 1776.
