    Default Gun sales up after Aurora Shooting

    says the Denver Post.

    http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_21...-since-tragedy

    wonder if these are panic buys after the renewed calls for gun control legislation, or folks wanting to protect themselves--or both?

    Fear drives opposition to gun control

    This is a kind of a good read. It shows how the anti-gun people are worried that their rhetoric has back fired on them.

    I've already received two calls from people asking about CCW... I think this is prompting a lot of people to reassess their safety and security posture. Let's all welcome the new shooters and gun owners to the community!

    The interesting thing for me from that article is that 2800 guns were transferred at the hands of an FFL over the weekend, which is 30% more than any other weekend, putting the average weekend around 2000 guns transferred through an FFL. Colorado is an awesome state.
