Gun and ammunition sales are surging across Pennsylvania and the rest of the country.
Kim Stolfer, president and co-founder of Firearms Owners Against Crime, says sales are up 100 to 600 percent.
The impetus is two-fold, arising from the fear of the future impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
First, could there be a breakdown in law and order as a result of millions of people being unprepared for the virus and targeting those who have prepared? |

"A national survey last fall found that 83 percent of women and 74 percent of men favored mandatory storage of firearms under lock."
*sigh* This again. 😒
Why, in the face of these widespread efforts, is NO ONE citing the fact that the Heller Court has already held such laws unconstitutional?
“Held:
“3) …the requirement that any lawful firearm in the home be disassembled or bound by a trigger lock makes it impossible for citizens to use arms for the core lawful purpose of self-defense and is hence unconstitutional.” – D.C. v. Heller (2008) |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
