SHARONVILLE, OH (FOX19) - Employees at Target World in Sharonville say guns sales have been like nothing they've ever seen before.

"You can't take away people's rights without people fighting back," says David Drury, a Target World employee.

The increase in sales started just after the Newtown, Connecticut school shootings.

"The boom has been pretty incredible. People are wanting to protect their rights while they have them and people are scared. They don't want their rights to be eroded," said Drury.

Because of that, even on the night of the Super Bowl, and even at kickoff time, Target World was packed with dozens showing up to look at buying a gun. The biggest seller is assault weapons.

"They just want to have that opportunity to be able to get whatever they can so that in the future they can have something that people can't get a hold of," he added.

When asked if they're able to keep them in stock he replied, "Not right now. In fact, the only ones we have up there are consignment pieces and they're asking outrageous prices for them."(continued)

We will see if the opt to lay down their rights for a free payday.

If they do, all is lost.

So it was an investment thing for some--the next investment scheme? The following link and quote are the most relevant, but I tossed a few others in for your consideration.
