INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Talks of a renewed push for an assault rifle ban following last week's massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary has many Hoosiers running to their local gun store.
The store and range at Beech Grove Firearms is packed this week.
“Sales have been off the chart,” said Store owner Greg Burge.
Customers are lining up to purchase certain semi-automatic rifles and ammunition. In less than two days 44 AR-15 rifles have been sold
“You have politicians coming out of the woodwork blaming the an Inanimate object used being the firearm,” said Burge
Burge and his customers say firearms are the target of an unfair attack.
“When I was a kid and I picked up a rock and threw it through a window did my parents whip the rock or did they whip me? Who was to blame?
Similar surges in sales were seen following mass shootings at Columbine, Aurora and Virginia Tech.
