They talk about mass shootings in Paris, Colorado Springs and San Bernardino as they peruse the store's glass cases, saying they intend to be ready should they ever face a similarly lethal situation, Maynard says.

"This has pushed it from being a busy season to being a really busy season," he said. "I think it's just the state of the world in general, they're seeing these reports coming in from all around the world. . . . On the bright side of that, they're saying that, 'Hey, if I'm prepared I can protect myself and my family,' and they're seeing that as an outlet for that (anxiety)."
“When we are confronted with evidence that challenges our deeply held beliefs we are more likely to reframe the evidence than we are to alter our beliefs. We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')

Stop being an ignorant bigot calling anyone that believes in protecting themselves, their family and communities as "nuts".

You're the kind of person this country doesn't need "more" of, anti-american values, the embracing of perversion, socialism/communism/and fascism instead.

I wonder if we'll see a spike in accidental shootings in Utah next year. I really wish that gun owners and their household were required to pass some tests before acquiring the weapons

A licensing system would help to eliminate this problem. People buying guns for this purpose will end up killing more then are being killed by Islamic radicals in the US.

You're still an idiot. Protecting my nation and community is how I put myself through college.

You're still an idiot. Communism is the political opposite of Fascism. Since you were in the biggest socialist organization on the planet, the US military. I suggest you learn what socialism is before showing your incredible ignorance.
