The mentally ill do not need guns. Domestic abusers do not need guns. Alcoholics do not need guns. Religious terrorists be they whatever religion, do not need guns. But the industry does need to scare the shit out of all zip codes, and police in order to sell them.
If you want to sell guns - elect a leftist Democrat.
The guns fly off the shelves with that possibility.
You realized that you just proved Brian's point, right? The culture of fear regarding guns is so pervasive that election of people on the left (or even the centre right) triggers the fantasy that all guns sales are about to be stopped, making people 'stock up' (no pun intended).
This fear is false and is promulgated by gun manufacturers, their lobbyists, and the far right echo chamber.
