They’s purdy smart at that USA Today.
After six plus years of record gun sales following would-be gun grabber Barack Obama’s election in 2008, they’ve finally found reporters smart enough to put two and two together when it comes to the reason behind gun sales.
Calls for gun control merely spur sales. Imagine that.
It only took them nearly seven years to figure it out.
Yep, they’re pretty smart. (That’s sarcasm.)
WASHINGTON (USA Today) — Renewed calls for more restrictive gun laws, following a succession of fatal shootings in the United States, immediately appear to be generating a boost for the gun industry.
Newly released August records show that the FBI posted 1.7 million background checks required of gun purchasers at federally licensed dealers, the highest number recorded in any August since gun checks began in 1998. The numbers follow new monthly highs for June (1.5 million) and July (1.6 million), a period which spans a series of deadly gun attacks — from Charleston to Roanoke — and proposals for additional firearm legislation.
…”Whenever there is a call for gun control, sales increase,” said Larry Keane, general counsel for the firearm industry trade association National Shooting Sports Foundation.
The USA has always pandered to the low-information crowd.
What do you expect?
It’s not the Scientific American.
