First I get an email from a favorite gun shop saying they are reopening after 2 week shut down. They stated that because of limited staffing only ammo and accessories would be sold. Along with new guidelines for social distancing.
A few hours later they sent another email saying that they were forced to close.

Massachusetts Shuts Down Gun Stores After Declaring Them ‘Essential’

"Every other governor in New England is permitting their citizens the right to acquire a firearm. Even the governors of New Jersey and Pennsylvania have now recognized the limits of their authority to infringe on fundamental American rights and reversed course."

Sadly I have to say that Obama is no longer #1 for gun sales, the virus beat him.
Gun sales exploded across the United States as the COVID-19 pandemic spread, with retailers experiencing the highest sales volume in recorded history.

More than 2.5 million guns were sold in March as fears over the effects of the COVID-19 spread, according to an analysis of FBI background check data released Wednesday by Small Arms Analytics and Forecasting (SAAF). The buying craze marked the busiest month on record for gun stores, even as some faced shutdown orders from state and local authorities. The record-setting monthly sales nearly doubled the 1.4 million guns sold in March 2019.

A separate analysis from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the firearms industry’s trade group, reached the same conclusion.”Our adjusted numbers are the largest month on record,” Mark Oliva, a spokesman for the group, told the Washington Free Beacon.

As Bearing Arms points out, “Even The New Yorker is recognizing that many of the 1-million or more new gun owners around the country doesn’t fit neatly into the anti-gun stereotype of the typical Second Amendment supporter.”

Weird I just bought a daisy rider for mine. That way she won’t be clueless and know how to use it safely and properly.
Maybe someday your grandson will pick up your daughters gun and have a good time...

No. I’m sure it’s only the bad parents that experience tragedy
