After all, we just had the single largest mass shooting in US History. So hopefully you are getting your investment dollars put into gun manufacturing stock because those stocks tend to do very well after mass shootings. Gun manufacturing executives have admitted to such and many on wall street have recognized the potential gold they stand to gain by investing in these companies after mass shootings.
For those worried about purchasing a gun to prevent the next mass shooting, allow me to cite a security expert who gave a TED talk about the stuff you should fear. The human brain is designed to evalute risk based on how easily we can call forth that threat to our mind. That's why, for most Americans, the fear of being killed in a car accident is a much stronger fear than being attacked from a roaming lion on the street. We see the former everyday, and the later almost never. But that all changed with the invention of the newspaper because now we have stories that can repeatedly push risks to your frontdoor every day, even when the actual existence of that risk legitimately showing up on your frontdoor is non-existent.
If it's in the newspaper, don't worry about it because, by definition, it is only "news" because it occurs so rarely.

A large component in the spike in sales after a mass shooting the inevitable talk of more stringent regulation and banning of certain firearms though certainly some of it is fear driven.
Your argument about the perception of rare events cuts both ways. I agree that mass shootings are very rare and the odds of any particular individual being the victim of one are exceedingly slim. However the flip side of that coin is that they are sufficiently rare to not justify infringing a Constitutional right.
Most people don't buy guns to stop mass shootings. They buy guns to defend themselves and their families.

Smith and Wesson stock price up over 7.5 percent so far today.
Of COURSE gun sales go up after mass shootings. Because invariably, anti-gun leftists will use any opportunity they can to start a fresh round of calls for worthless gun laws that they know wont have any impact on anyone but law abiding citizens. Many buy them because they are worried the government leaders will try to do something stupid. Many buy them just to give a nice **** YOU to the anti gun morons that clamor for the same proven failed laws. And many buy them because they see what direction the country is headed and realize its probably time they began to be concerned for their own health, safety, and well being.

So then you agree that there is really no need for the average man on the street to fear gun violence at all.
After all, how many times has an otherwise completely law abiding citizen shown up on your front door with an evil-looking assault rifle and started killing members of your family?
Never is the answer, and something approaching zero is the likelihood that it'll ever happen.
Welcome to the pro-gun camp!
Gun Manufacturers and their investors should be giddy every time a mass shooting occurs.

I work in the wood products industry and we all recognize that hurricanes are good for business (replacement doors and widows, trimwork, etc), but we are hardly giddy about the fact that people lost their homes...
After a power outage the sale of flashlights and batteries increases, people fill the propane tanks on their grills and stock firewood. When we are told that original formula Coca Cola is going to be pulled from the market people stock up on it. When it looks like rain people buy more umbrellas and ponchos. It's perfectly normal behavior.
Some probably are, just as is every infected gun hating asshole that uses the instance to promote new gun laws that target only law abiding citizens.Gun Manufacturers and their investors should be giddy every time a mass shooting occurs.
Heads up: there seems to be a problem with UPS drivers claiming that they think a business is closed on SAT so that they can avoid taking the time to deliver, one presumes because they have better things to do than their jobs.Saturday I went to one of the three or four gunshops I deal with to pick up a CZ custom I had ordered from a top supplier of IPSC/USPSA gear. It wasn't there-apparently the UPS driver didn't think the SATURDAY DELIVERY TAG was something to honor (it came today, I am leaving soon to pick it up). The owner of the shop had several Palmetto State Armory brand ARs in stock and two were in 9mm. One uses the standard military colt 9mm SMG magazines (I have several ARs that take them) but one takes GLOCK 17 magazines. SO I told him that I'd buy it Monday when I come to pick up the SP-01 Shadow for my son. Well apparently he figures by the time I get down there, that 9mm AR 15 will be the only one remaining in the store.
The one good thing about Democrap Bannerrhoids whining about gun bans is that each time they do, another million or so AR 15s are sold and the more out there, the less the bannerrhoids can ban them
I would prefer not to consider a mass shooting as perfectly normal.

Mass Shootings are good for the bottom line.
