“When it comes to holiday consumerism, guns aren’t much different than any other trend. People are easily whipped into a buying frenzy, even when they’re not entirely sure why. CBS News Los Angeles reported a conversation with Vince Torres, owner of Bullseye Sport in Riverside, California. ‘We had a lady [who bought an AR-15] for each one of the kids and one for herself. A lot of people are saying ‘I want to buy one of those ARs’. I would say, ‘Do you know what you’re buying?’ And they would say, ‘no, just want one of those ARs.’ Who needs Hatchimals when you’ve got AR-15s, I guess.” – Dan Abrams in Looks Like Santa Left Plenty of Guns Under California Trees This Holiday Season [via lawnewz.com]
