More on gun sales
I predicted gun sales would go up after Katrina and early indications supported that. Now, there’s this:
Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. has reported that fiscal first-quarter sales rose and profits were boosted by a reduction in allowances for environmental contamination at a Springfield property.
The company said after the markets closed yesterday that it had profits of $2.7 million, or 7 cents a share, in the fiscal first quarter ended July 31. This compared to a profit of $1.5 million, or 4 cents a share, in the same quarter last year.

While that’s good news for them, their fiscal first quarter ended a month before Katrina hit. That just means look out for their second quarter figures. Still, an up-tick in gun sales is encouraging.

I predicted guns sales would go up after the despicable SCOTUS decision in Kelo v. New London.
