For those who do not click into the article. The figures represent the totals for the month of February, in 2008 and 2009. Which includes new and renewal applications.

Two paragraphs from the article:

The Author states "Some gun control advocates think the run-up is due to unwarranted fears created by gun enthusiasts."

“The NRA has been trying to push this fear that Obama is going to start small and take away people’s gun rights, which we all know is not going to happen,” said Marsha McCartney, a volunteer with the North Texas Brady Campaign to End Gun Violence.
.........................................................................................................
Fears created by the NRA! What a laugh! :D I guess Marsha has not heard of the proposed anti-gun legislation, nor the propaganda of left wing politicians and Presidential appointees.
