Press TV:
US gun sales have hit a record level and with the latest mass killing, stores are running out of stock as significant sales tops is being reported on assault rifles.
During the first eleven months of this year, the FBI has conducted 16.8 million background checks, breaking last year’s record of 16.5 million not including the current sales hikes after the Connecticut school massacre.
'We are seeing a total madhouse of buying everything in sight,' said one gun storeowner in Las Vegas on Friday, adding, 'We have not only a run on the guns, but a run on ammunition.'
