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 |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
