San Bernardino, Paris Attacks Mixing With Gun Control Fears To Drive California Gun Sales
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Fear over possible gun regulations in the wake of three recent deadly shootings and holiday sales are driving gun sales in California.
Owner Josh Deaser says business is good at Just Guns in Sacramento.
"We've had a big influx of people coming in buying holiday gifts," he said.
He believes terrorist attacks in Paris, along with the Wednesday San Bernardino shooting is mixing with holiday discounts and fears over more gun regulation.
He says it's the perfect marketing campaign, without spending one dime on advertisement.
"That causes more panic and people want to go out and buy more guns," he said.
Most of his new gun sales are from new customers, he says.
"And again, it's not just the same people coming in and buying the guns," he said. "There's new people coming in and buying the gun. They see what's going on in the world just want one just in case."
