Gun Sales Up After CT Shooting: Store Owner | NBC 7 San Diego
Spring Valley residents David and Jessica McLaughlin spent some time Sunday shopping for a gun. They say their neighbors and their grandparents have been robbed recently.
David wants the ability to protect his family that includes his 16-month-old son. “The police can only get there so fast,” he said.
However, Jessica McLaughlin said she was motivated by recent events. “All the stuff on the news, the violence, especially the shooting of the children,” she said. “
Now we have our son, it's just really important to us to protect our family.”
Id say the core reason is twofold, not just black and white. We are both right in that respect. People think that gun ownership will be restricted, and want the weapons because they feel that they will have additional protection. Now is the time to buy for those reasons
