because the NRA will put out a message saying "Mass shootings suck but not as much as them taking our gunz!" and people will go buy as many as they can out of some misplaced fear that the government is coming for them.

As a gun owner, the NRA deserves to die of gonorrhea and rot in hell.

It amazes me that people are still falling for the narrative that the gubmint is coming to take the guns, even as Republicans control Congress and the presidency.

This is fucking absurd. If I say what I want to, I'll get modded though.

Gun sells always go up after a horrible event, however these sells won't be as high as if a Democrat were in power,but if Clinton or Obama start harping on when the camera's running then maybe they'll be able to get those numbers again.

People aren't as worried about Trump as they were about Obama. Although hysteria under either president is a bit paranoid, it's even less warranted under a Republican controlled Senate, House, and White House.

Are you suggesting that screams and howls for more gun laws don't happen after every major incident?

I don't know and I don't care; it just infuriates me that they sell more after crap like this. Chances are they're selling at least a few to copycats.

Because you had politicians wanting to ban the future sales of certain guns and accessories.

Anyway, I bought 20 Assault Rifle 15 high capacity assault clips yesterday. It wasn't a panic purchase though, they just happened to be listed at an excellent price. Fuckm the guy could have got triple what he was asking if he had waited a couple weeks.

Like others have mentioned, it's the politicians who call for gun control who end up pushing up the gun sales (which there have been many). I don't know how someone could think the NRA is just completely making up the idea that many politicians want at least an assault weapons ban. Though again like others have mentioned, with Republicans in charge it's a lot less likely so we probably won't see as much of a rush to buy guns.

They're more so anti mass murder by guns. Why do rightists call these mass shootings the price of freedom?

They are?

Then why is everyone debating gun control instead of mass-murder-by-gun control?

Why aren't they anti murder in general, then?

Mass shootings make up less than 1% of murders, but it's the horrifying images, stories, etc. that comes through the media. I understand it though, it's tough to see stuff like that without being more horrified than reading statistics on some webpage about 90% of gun murders being committed by handguns (in cases where the type of gun is known). It's an emotional thing.
