I think an increase of gun sales is the result of fear of change. Not only in the USA the entire planet is going through a shift in the paradigm we have known for generations.

We now have a global economy. This was not the case 50 years ago. Technology moves us along at a much faster pace. What use to take place thousands of miles away, is now know globally in a matter of a few key strokes on our computers, tablets, cell phones. (Technology is also moving humanity closer to self destruction, if we so choose.)

Science is removing the cloak of the unknown and ignorance. Religon is being questioned, examined. Spirituality is becoming self defined, explored and practiced.

Geo-political institutions are falling and birthed into configurations that are influenced by all the above and more. I believe the world is changing and the change can be for greater good of most and it can come to us without tremendous pain and loss if we are willing to let go of some of our old and fearful ideas.

As for guns, the right to bare arms is guranteed in the USA constitution. However, I don't believe the possession of guns should be granted to mentally unstable individuals. Everyone should be periodically tested for mental stability when owning guns.
