After the shooting last week, Gun sales are up.
Colorado gun stores are seeing a big jump in demand for firearms since last Friday’s massacre at a midnight movie showing in Aurora.
Background checks for people wanting to buy guns in Colorado reportedly increased more than 41 percent after last week’s Aurora movie massacre. The Denver Post reports that firearm instructors have also seen increased interest in training needed for a concealed-carry permit.
“It’s been insane,” Jake Meyers, an employee at Rocky Mountain Guns and Ammo in Parker told the newspaper Monday.
Between Friday and Sunday, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation approved background checks for 2,887 people who wanted to purchase a firearm — a 43 percent increase over the previous Friday through Sunday and a 39 percent jump over those same days on the first weekend of July.
I used to be anti-gun because I thought they were dangerous and caused crime. Then I did some research and found that with just four basic rules and some common sense guns were REALLY safe, and not only were violent criminals going to do violence whatever tools they can get, and even if things are banned, they’ll simply smuggle guns in with the cocaine which is also illegal, but plentiful.
And I also learned that guns are used VERY frequently used to SAVE lives, and even in most of those cases the criminal flees rather than dies.
I changed my mind 180 Degrees and realized guns were better to have around than not, and I started buying guns and carrying guns.
Seems a lot more people are getting the same idea.
