Gun and ammo sales are through the roof, with manufacturers making money hand over fist.

The NRA has gained something like 200,000 new members and $4 million in new contributions in the past month alone. Make no mistake, they LOVE this publicity. Even if we find their statements ridiculous, it energizes their base in a way nothing else has in years.
