Glock Pistol Sales Up After Arizona Shootings

Hey, everyone. Not to unnerve you, but apparently, days after a madman went on a murdery rampage with a Glock in Arizona, Arizonans are heading to gun stores in droves to purchase the very same weapon used by Jared Lee Loughner. It's as good an example as anything to demonstrate that there really is no such thing as bad publicity, only an implacable, gnawing cynicism that permeates our existence and sends us, sobbing, into a fetal position.

Michael Riley from Bloomberg News documents how we at last have stimulated some aggregate demand in something!

After a Glock-wielding gunman killed six people at a Tucson shopping center on Jan. 8, Greg Wolff, the owner of two Arizona gun shops, told his manager to get ready for a stampede of new customers. Wolff was right. Instead of hurting sales, the massacre had the $499 semi-automatic pistols -- popular with police, sport shooters and gangsters -- flying out the doors of his Glockmeister stores in Mesa and Phoenix.

Maybe the run on Glocks are because people are thinking they are soon to be banned in AZ?

This whole deal is going to end up shafting us gun owners if we're not careful. Whenever a shooting like this happens, the first thing I want to know is what kind of gun was used. You know that's going to be the next gun on their list to restrict.

The anti-gun crowd has been fairly quiet the last few years. This just gives them new hope to push their movement forward.
