After every mass shooting, no matter the circumstances, communist Democrats, their lapdogs in the media and some weak kneed Republicans always push for more gun control. Of course, none of it would have mattered in the Uvalde shooting. Filthy killer Salvador Ramos passed all the background checks and stuff needed to purchase his weapons, he did and unfortunately the rest is history. The questions that aren’t being asked is how the hell did Ramos afford an AR-15 and so many rounds of ammo, if he was “so poor” as the media claims?
As the communists continue, once again to push gun control, sales of firearms and ammo have surged since the Uvalde and Buffalo shootings, not gone down. Law abidding people aren’t going to let the authoritarian government decide who can legally be armed and who can’t.
For advocates of stricter gun laws, mass shootings are a moment they believe should inspire converts to their cause. But data shows that in the wake of these events, more Americans purchase guns rather than give them up.
FBI background checks for firearms — one measure for estimating fluctuations in gun sales across the country — indeed increased after major mass shooting events and other unsettling news events, according to a Grid analysis of data released by the bureau.
About 1 million background checks for purchases of handguns, rifles or both have occurred on average each month since 2009, the data shows. But those figures spiked after major news events. The three highest months were March 2020, when the covid pandemic was declared; December 2012, after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting; and in December 2015, following a mass shooting in San Bernardino, California.
