NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Devvin Burgess, operational manager at Jefferson Gun Outlet, says gun sales are booming and their value is soaring.
“People use it almost as an investment, you know? They know if I buy this gun for 600 bucks, I can sell it back to a gun store for double that,” said Burgess.
This, after President Biden addressed the nation last night, encouraging the ban of high capacity magazines and assault weapons and raising the age to buy them to 21.
“After Sandy Hook, after Charleston, after Orlando after Las Vegas, after Parkland, nothing has been done. This time that can’t be true,” said President Biden.
Burgess says Biden’s plea is only increasing ammunition and firearm sales across the country.
He says one of the distributors Jefferson Gun Outlet gets their magazines from sold thousands of them during Biden’s speech.
“They sold 56,000 magazines in ten minutes,” said Burgess.
I don’t see how more training is the solution. If you’re outside of a school with a kevlar vest and gun while someone is inside of the school slaughtering children and your first instinct isn’t to go inside the school and the kill the SOB, then all of the training in the world isn’t going to unfuck you.
