By far the biggest selling event we have ever had in my 30 plus years selling guns was the covid pandemic. Not the Brady bill/Clinton's assault weapon ban, not Y2K, not Obama, not the seminole heights serial killer, definitely not the st pete killer, not even the riots............just a virus! We got down to 6 guns left in our showcases despite ordering tens of thousands of dollars worth of inventory to supplement existing inventory. So many guns being sold statewide that a background check completion went from several minutes normally to 2 days.
With liberal policies in place guns simply sell themselves.
To be fair, the govt was giving out money to buy guns with. I spent my biden bucks at the gun shop and bought a nice rifle. It shouldnt take a serial killer to stimulate guns though. The 1700 violent crimes every year in St Pete would do it. I assume you have dense urban areas filled with young black males, like everywhere? We have the same problem in north florida.
