On Sept. 2, Jon Barker, CEO of Sportsman’s Warehouse Holdings, Inc., told investors that an estimated 5 million people had bought guns in the first seven months of 2020, according to Reuters. Reuters also reported that a day later, Mark Peter Smith, CEO of Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc., told a conference call with investors that “firearm neophytes accounted for about 40% of sales” this year. |

Again with the bogus 'studies,' all from leftist sources.
Fact: The FBI's study found that an armed woman, for example, was far more likely to survive attacks uninjured than an unarmed one.
Imagine that. [deadpan] |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
