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 |
| 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) |
