DENVER -- Gun sales are surging in the wake of Sunday’s deadly mass shooting in Orlando, Fla. The tragedy is generating new debate over gun control reform and the right to bear arms.
Gun shops typically see a spike in customers after mass shootings. But this time, many are seeing shoppers they’ve never really seen before: More gays and lesbians.
George Horne, the owner of The Gun Room, Denver’s oldest firearms dealer, said Tuesday business is booming at his store.
"For this time of year I’d say its three to four times what we normally have," he said.
Background checks that once took minutes can now take hours. It's a sales surge similar to what happened after Sandy Hook and the Aurora theater shootings.
“We’re not surprised by it,” Horne said.

Thank god the Democrat grievance politics is breaking down. When the Muslims attack a Synagogue, Jews will be the next domino to fall.
Is sexual orientation a question on the background check? Do they just proudly announce it at the sales counter?
I’m shocked!!! sarc
Good for them and we get a whole new bunch of gun rights supporters.
It’s trendy! And no one is more trendy than gays! Lesbos, not too much.
Sales of pink guns are skyrocketing.
I think the surge is among Americans. No reason to keep trying to divide us into various oppressed groups.
Must be plenty of Glocks and not Thig Thauers.
Gun sales going through the roof among AMERICANS, period!
Gee, where’s all the lefty outrage about the queers arming themselves? After all, the mentally ill should not be able to buy guns...
A-friggin-men!!
I've been saying for a long time that we needed an E-Day to unite Americans. Looks like they're comin' outta the sand instead of the "hollow". d;^)
In more ways than one...
Obama back to sellin guns.
13:54-2.2 Permit required
No person, except as provided in N.J.S.A. 2C:39-6, shall carry, hold or possess a handgun without first having obtained a permit to carry the same in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
13:54-2.3 Criteria for the issuance of a permit to carry a handgun
(a) No application for a permit to carry a handgun shall be approved by a police chief of a municipality, the Superintendent or the Superior Court, unless the applicant:
2. Has demonstrated that at the time of the application for the permit he or she is thoroughly familiar with the safe handling and use of handguns; and
3. Has demonstrated a justifiable need to carry a handgun.
Will "I'm queer" now meet the "justifiable need" standard?
Good news for the gun manufacturers, but I’m not sure the community is any safer with a bunch of mentally disturbed and testosterone-lacking individuals buying guns en mass. Are they even bothering with training so they can hit the broad side of a barn in an emergency or are they bascially buying an expensive and dangerous security blanket?
If it takes 2 freaking hours for the police and SWAT to attack one stinking gunman, yes you need a gun on you at all times.
There’s a 5,000 year tradition of warrior homosexuality, which until recently was just a type of behavior rather than a state of being.
Gays learned the hard way that their lives are not as important as Muslims’ hur feelings.
