The media wants us to believe the rush to buy guns is from fear of stricter gun control. If that was so, knowing people tend to procrastinate, I don’t think there would be a rush until a bill was introduced. I think more people are afraid of the direction this country is headed are preparing to defend themselves. And the rush shows confidence is not very high.
I don't hunt, so the only reason I have them is for either self defense or target practice.
