When New Mexico Governor Michelle Grisham announced to her grun grabbin’ left turn at Albuquerque, she wasn’t planning on this. It may not have even occurred to her, but it is a lesson learned under Obama. If you want to sell some guns, talk about gun control.
A gun store up the street (not far from me) made national news with its window poster depicting Barry Obama as the firearms salesman of the year. Joe Biden has done his part as well. It worked in Virginia when the state went all blue a few years back, and gun sales soared. Democrats (ironically) are the best thing that ever happened to gun sales. When those Liberals get on about grabbin’ guns, people listen – and buy firearms, and Albuquerque is no different.
“Today was the busiest day I’ve had in months,” Arnie Gallegos, owner of ABQ Guns in Albuquerque, told The Epoch Times. “I’ve been getting a lot of people who have never come into a gun shop before who are rightfully concerned about their freedoms.
“A lot of people are saying, ‘I can’t rely on the police anymore, and I need to be able to protect myself,” added Gallegos.
Law-abiding citizens legally able to buy firearms are doing that, and many of them have never considered owning a firearm until Gov ‘Grab Your Guns’ came for them. “I’ve been getting a lot of people who have never come into a gun shop before who are rightfully concerned about their freedoms.”
Let’s hope they are more responsible stewards of the rights and responsibilities of handling any firearm than Alec Baldwin. He murdered a woman in New Mexico and blamed the gun, which did not warrant a public health emergency before or after charges against Baldwin were dropped.
Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins (now described as born in Ukraine, as if that matters) is still dead. “The film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, did not have her manslaughter charges dropped, but ‘Grab Your Guns’ Grisham addressed it as a workplace safety issue.
“This industry is important to us economically and to so many workers throughout New Mexico, and I look forward to a full accounting of how this could have possibly happened, and we will determine our next steps from there.”
Grisham planned listening sessions and wondered why they needed real guns. Coincidentally, armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed’s attorneys are claiming there was a dearth of safety protocols on set, and that’s not her fault.
Baldwin blamed the gun, Gutierrez-Reed blamed production, but no public safety warnings from Grisham because (if I had to guess) the film industry is economically important, which means she likely has some Hollywood donors, and that’s important too.
Here’s a gun shop guy on the surge in sales.
And apologies to the Gun Store, upon whose poster I put Michelle Lujan Grisham’s head, but I did buy a nice Mosin Nagant (a 1946 Tula) and a big tin can full of ammo for it (from them) a few years back, so I’d like to think we’re even.
