Demand for guns in Colorado jumps in wake of movie massacre | Fox News

Colorado gun stores are seeing a big jump in demand for firearms since last Friday's massacre at a midnight movie showing in Aurora.

Background checks for people wanting to buy guns in Colorado reportedly increased more than 41 percent after last week’s Aurora movie massacre. The Denver Post reports that firearm instructors have also seen increased interest in training needed for a concealed-carry permit.

"It's been insane," Jake Meyers, an employee at Rocky Mountain Guns and Ammo in Parker told the newspaper Monday.

Between Friday and Sunday, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation approved background checks for 2,887 people who wanted to purchase a firearm — a 43 percent increase over the previous Friday through Sunday and a 39 percent jump over those same days on the first weekend of July.

The biggest spike was on Friday, when there were 1,216 checks, a 43 percent increase over the average number for the previous two Fridays.

On Friday morning, just hours after alleged 24-year-old gunman James Holmes killed 12 and injured 58 others at the Century Aurora theater, up to 20 people were already waiting outside the store when Meyers arrived, he said.

He said the day was “probably the busiest Monday all year” and said basic firearms classes that he and the store’s owner conduct are booked for the next three weeks — a first for this year, the newspaper reports.

"A lot of it is people saying, 'I didn't think I needed a gun, but now I do,' " he told the newspaper. "When it happens in your backyard, people start reassessing — 'Hey, I go to the movies.'"

About 32 merikans die from guns a day this not include suicides

You know what, you know what I noticed? Nobody panics when things go according to plan. Even if the plan is horrifying. If tomorrow I tell the press that like a gang banger, will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it’s all, part of the plan. But when I say that one, little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds!

Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I’m an agent of chaos. Oh and you know the thing about chaos, it’s fair.
 
^Good luck on introducing Anarchy in this country... Obomba will Drone your ass before you can get to the "y".


Also, IN B4 "The gun stores are behind the shooting to increase sales!"


....But you do gotta wonder where an unemployed grad student could come up with the tactical weapons and armor for this gig... Hmm... :/

Its not the gun stores bro. Its the democrats pushing for tighter gun control. Shits gotta go down in an election year. That way the government can protect us. Its safer if only criminals and law enforcement have guns. Law enforcement has better training than criminals so they are sure to protect us. Maybe we could start up a WF turn in your guns program. This way we would be making our neighbors safer on a grass routes level.

Human risk perception is so messed up.

The same day of the Colorado shooting, and every day before and since, 90 people died in road accidents (ok, that's averaged from 2010).

I don't see anyone rushing out to buy crash helmets, roll cages and 5-point harnesses.

I figured the increase was from people buying guns in case they decide to ban them (or you know, "control" them).
