College Shotgun Champions

The lamestream media told you:

Students and guns don’t mix. Schools are no place for guns, gun talk, gun history, gun training, gun safety, gun science, ballistics, marksmanship, gun drawings or pointed-finger make-believe guns. Any gun news coming from schools vill only deal viss crime und disaster.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

The Intercollegiate Clay Target Championships in 2008 were the largest ever in the event’s 40-year history, reports the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a large professional organization blacked out by “news” groups for reasons that remain unclear.

Lindenwood University of St. Charles, Mo., has claimed its fifth straight national title, edging out Texas A&M, Kansas State and more than 30 other colleges. Men’s, women’s and other trophy winners are listed at the link below. The Top 20 teams overall, with targets hit (out of 1,600 thrown) were:

1. Lindenwood University, 1,528
2. Texas A&M University, 1,522

Ivy League schools were busy booking Ward Churchill speeches and did not compete.

In other news, NICS background checks for firearms in March were 1,040,863, an increase of 6.7% over the same time last year. First quarter figures were 3,004,549. Predictions persist that sales will skyrocket on or about the next presidential election, regardless of who wins. Ammo prices are already rising.
