Purchases up by 1.3 million
Democrats and other leftists may insist every time there's a shooting tragedy that it's the fault of the guns, that they have to be confiscated and destroyed, that the only way to prevent the shootings is to make sure people don't have guns.
In the recent Lewiston, Maine, tragedy, shooter Robert Card was found dead two days after. And evidence confirms he'd been treated for mental health issues, and had threatened to do just exactly what he ended up doing, meaning authorities knew that the danger was there beforehand.
But the Washington Examiner is reporting that Americans, millions of them, are on a path the other direction from Democrats.
Their opinion is that a defense against a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun, prompting a huge surge in gun sales in October.

The report said the increase of 8.3% in gun sales is because "more people want to be prepared to fight back if they get caught in a sticky situation."
"The horrific attacks on Israel followed by the escalating hate speech toward Jewish Americans, coupled with the tragic murders in Maine, are reminders that every American has the right to legally purchase a firearm to provide for their own defense.
October showed that Americans did this 1.3 million times, extending the million-plus background checks each month to 51 consecutive months," explained Mark Oliva of the National Shooting Sports Foundation.
The Examiner reported noted Justin Anderson, of Hyatt Guns of Charlotte, North Carolina, said, "There has never been a more clear-cut case of the need for personal protection than the Oct. 7 attack, and Americans have reacted quickly.
There was a significant sales bubble that formed just after videos of the attack made the rounds, and that bubble continues to grow."
He said the fact that Joe Biden is lobbying for gun control probably will cause even more people to purchase weapons for self-defense.
The Examiner cited a Rasmussen Reports poll that said likely voters aren’t sold on more gun control. Their preference is that prosecutors would enforce the laws already on the books.
"When asked, 'Which would do more to reduce gun violence in America, passing new gun control laws or stricter enforcement of existing gun control laws?' Rasmussen said 57% chose enforcement and 33% new laws."
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: "Our country is going communist!" warned Donald Trump recently. "It's going Marxist, it's going REALLY bad." He added, "The PEOPLE of our country aren't that way – but the people RUNNING it are." Is this just election-season bluster and hyperbole, or can the utterly unthinkable be true?
Incredibly, it is true. In 2023 America, the Democratic Party – its agendas, its core values, its wall-to-wall dishonesty, and its audacious and utterly ruthless methods – are virtually indistinguishable from those of modern-day communists. Compare the Communist Party USA's website, CPUSA.org (where the featured top-of-page story is about "TRANS RIGHTS"), with the Democratic National Committee's website, Democrats.org, and try to discern any substantive difference.
America's plunge into atheistic Marxism in virtually every area of life – from weaponizing government and courts to destroy critics and political opponents, to crushing free speech, to corrupting and brainwashing the nation's children, and much much more – is all stunningly explored in the October issue of WND's critically acclaimed Whistleblower magazine, titled "AMERICA'S COMMUNIST REVOLUTION: How the freest nation in history is rapidly becoming a Marxist police state." Beyond exposing the Marxist takeover of America's key institutions, this explosive special report goes on to reveal how Marxism/communism is ACTUALLY A MAJOR WORLD RELIGION, albeit a false and malevolent one. It unearths what REALLY motivates the "high priests" of this truly dark atheistic faith, which has captivated untold millions and murdered millions more. And it vividly illustrates exactly how and why citizens of the greatest nation in history are now experiencing – to quote Barack Obama's words – "a fundamental transformation of the United States of America." This Whistleblower issue is a crucial wake-up call for all Americans. WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
