Gun Sales Surging Among Women in Wake of Mass Shootings

Gun sales are surging among women in the wake of the Nashville Christian school shooting and the attack on the Louisville bank, CNN reported on April 22.

Reporters spoke to two women, who met at a Long Island gun range, shooting “lever action rifles and pistols” at silhouette targets.
 

One of the women had a gun permit and was shopping for her first firearm. She said, “I’m not quite a novice. Just starting out. Looking to buy a gun.”

The other woman said, “I’m a single female. I live on my own. Why not protect myself?”
