Gun sales have increased at a staggering rate in Ferguson, Missouri, ahead of a grand jury's decision on whether or not to indict Officer Darren Wilson, the cop who shot dead unarmed teenager Michael Brown.
Steve King, the owner of Metro Shooting Supplies in nearby Bridgeton, says he has sold 250 firearms this week.
That is a 700% increase over the 30 to 40 guns the store typically sells in a week.
'These people are afraid,' he told The Washington Post.
'One hundred percent of them are buying because of Ferguson.'(continued)

I am hoping that’s true - but the Leftists have published locations in numerous other cities where “peaceful vigils” will be staged, all within 24 hours of the GJ announcment.
Can they take possession of them fast enough to be used for defense of themselves and their property? I would hope that’s the reason the sales have soared. Others wouldn’t pass a background check!
Is he the precursor? The warmup act?
Under him, for years now, much has changed in the core fabric of America, in our youths, in our businesses, in our minorities, in our churches, in our privacy.
What I find interesting about all these Fergeson gun sales stories is that they all leave out that the town is 75% black. I would have to figure that most of these guns are being sold to blacks, and that blacks fear the effects of the riots, but no news storiEs about that.
Nor will they investigate the numbers of liberals arming themselves in preparation for the riots. The implication is only red neck whites buy guns. There are subjects just too narrative busting to look in to. If the ideas held by the left are so fragile then they have nothing to offer - themselves or anyone else. I suppose its not dawned on them the needle is on E and has been for some time. I think they’re about ready to coast to a stop....then the crying will start.
Hey, what’s a “tanknetter”?
A “Tanknutter” who accidentally phat phingered the wrong key when registering. :-)
And, its readily apparent that it will once again be lunatic liberals, not
Conservatives, who will be the rioters and looters, isn’t it?
Well not if the press can help it
LOL! OK, what’s a tanknutter?
I’m a military history buff. Nuts about tanks. And planes. And ships.
Planenutter didn’t sound right. PlaneTankShipNutter didn’t sound right either. And turned out to be a bit too similar to ManBearPig (which came along after I registered) for comfort.
I'm having a real problem thinking of them as Americans.
Anti-Americans I can understand, but Americans, no.
Cool. I’m a former tanker, that’s why I asked. M60A1.
