Fort Wayne isn’t the only city - across the county, the fear of loosing gun ownership rights has created a surge in firearm purchases.
It’s like a scene on Black Friday: packed parking lots, product flying off the shelves, and customers trying to get their hands on merchandise before it disappears. “I do think it’s important to defend yourself. It’s a right as Americans to be able to own and carry guns” says John Amos. Amos and his wife were among the dozens who flocked to Fort Wayne ‘s Freedom Firearms today. “I’m just exercising my right as an American” says Amos. Employees say sales have skyrocketed since Friday’s shooting in Connecticut . They say the most popular item today is the AR15, what many consider an assault weapon. It’s a similar weapon gunman Adam Lanza used to kill 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary.
