Brisk gun sales leave store shelves bare (so much for the masses wanting gun control)

CRESTWOOD, KY (WAVE) - A new Washington Post poll found 52 percent of Americans favor new gun control measures. Despite that, guns are flying off store shelves in Kentuckiana.

Owners at several gun shops tell WAVE 3 News, they've had days when their stores are packed, some even say they had lines out the door and all of those we talked to tell us, their supplies are running low.

"They've been though the roof," said Open Range Sales consultant Aaron Hatfield of gun sales and one thing is driving them, "fear," he said. "They're scared of what's going to happen and the unknown."

As the Connecticut school shootings and the shooter's AR 15 rifle fuel talk of more gun control, Open Range's Hatfield says buyers have come out of the woodwork. At first, he said sales were amazing, now he says, many dealers have little on the shelves. A section normally full of ARs and Lever Action Rifles are all gone.

Gun sellers can't replenish their stock.

I’m in MA (unfortunately). I’m probably going to order another thousand rounds as well.

I kept reading how the masses were actually against Obamacare. Election proved otherwise

Republican candidate was the original author of obamacare. How could he make a case against it? He didn't try, he knew obama would shove it down his throat.,

The only way to motivate these people to come over to our side is passion.

Either that or free stuff.

I just got back from the hardware store.

Was amazed when I walked into the sporting goods section to see a full line-up of rifles behind the counter with only a few empty slots. Looked closer and it turned out they were almost all pellet guns. A couple of single shot .22s left.

I started stocking up a year ago. I went through and organized my “stash” last week and think I am pretty well stocked. I won’t say the numbers since it would look like I am bragging, but I could make this stuff last the rest of my life without cutting down on shooting.

Remember it is not just guns. Powder, primers, brass, reloading dies, and casting equipment.
