Fred Says "Buy a Gun"

UPDATE: BIG OOPS. I'd never heard of the website and didn't realize it was a satire site. Just goes to show you, we can all be had. I'm not deleting this post just to provide a reminder of that.

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.

That's a great move on his part, and he just went up a few notches in my esteem. Now if he'd just drop the "enforce existing gun laws" mantra...
