Since the mass shooting at a Newtown, Connecticut elementary school, the discussion over gun control measures has gained a lot of national attention. With that discussion has come a surge in gun sales.

Don Florence, co-owner of New England Shooter's Warehouse welcomes the discussion along with the surge in sales.

Florence says that because of the surge in sales, his biggest hurdle is going to be keeping enough guns in stock.
