Police: Detroit woman getting ready for church shoots, kills man during home invasion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Detroit police are investigating a home invasion turned fatal shooting on Mark Twain Street Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

According to officers, around 10:30 a.m., a mother and daughter were getting ready to leave their home for church when an unknown man approached and tried grabbing one of them.<\/p>\n

The mother and daughter then went back inside their home, but the suspect “forced his way inside,” according to police.<\/p>\n

The 55-year-old mother then retrieved a gun and fired two shots at the suspect, hitting him at least once in the chest. Medics pronounced him dead at the scene.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

June Sets NICS Volume\/Gun Sales Record<\/strong>
\nby Guy J. Sagi<\/p>\n

The FBI processed a total of 3,931,607 records through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) in June, roughly 1.6 million more than the same month in 2019 and nearly 200,000 more than the previous highwater mark, set in March. After subtracting use of the system not associated with a firearm purchase, the number reflects the sale of nearly 2.4 million guns nationwide. The figures do not include transfers made to valid CCW permit holders in those regions of the country where a redundant background check is not required for their firearm purchases.<\/p>\n

May\u2019s gun sales numbers were also up by 80.2 percent, with a total of 1,726,053, according to an estimate from Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting (SAAF). The increases have now continued for more than a year and show little sign of slowing.<\/p>\n

The record for the most firearms sold in a single year reflected by a NICS background was set in 2016. Estimates put that figure at 15.5 million, but a \u201cnew normal\u201d on its heels saw 2017 numbers drop to 14 million and 2018 came in at 13.1 million. Last year\u2019s total sales started the current upswing with 13.9 million.<\/p>\n

The total for this year currently stands at roughly 10.6 million and the traditionally busy hunting and holiday seasons are months away. If the trend continues there\u2019s little doubt a new record for annual firearm purchases will be set by 2020, as well at total NICS volume.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Archives are bad enough, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes, but I’m also posting a related Second Amendment article. Don’t like it either, but here we are.<\/p>\n

“As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight. And it is in such twilight that we all must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.” \u2014 Justice William O.
