The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting occurred on December 14, 2012, in Newtown, Connecticut, United States, when 20-year-old Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 children between six and seven years old, as well as six adult staff members.

Prior to driving to the school, he shot and killed his mother at their Newtown home.

As first responders arrived at the scene, Lanza committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.

The phones at gun shops across the country are ringing off the hook.

Demand for firearms, ammunition and bulletproof gear has surged since the December 14 massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, that took the lives of 20 school children and six teachers and administrators.


The shooting sparked calls for tighter gun control measures, especially for military-style assault weapons like the ones used in Newtown and in the Aurora, Colorado, movie theater shooting earlier this year.


The prospect of a possible weapons ban has sent gun enthusiasts into a panic and sparked a frenzy of buying at stores and gun dealers nationwide.

Crowds browse assault rifles and ammunition at a gun show in Virginia, just weeks after 20 children and six adults were slain in the SandyHook school shooting.

Vendors said some rifles were changing hands for double their usual price due to increased demand.

Lines of people can be seen snaking around the tables weighed down with weapons and ammunition.

Traders bumped up the prices on many of the items due to increased demand.


As gun enthusiasts stock up up their arsenals, more and more people are applying for permits to own and carry firearms.

On the contrary, I think it helps for the citizens not to be taken advantage of by the government. Government has no choice to enforce and protect the laws of the country. Irrespective of who you are, how highly placed or lowly placed you are, government will see to it that your rights are protected. The whole thing will make the government take the citizens serious else what we may have is a breakdown of law and order once the governments starts acting like the one we have here in Nigeria.

There is a reason why they say, in a good country the government should fear the people not the other way round. Imagine if such laws were in place in Nigeria, do you think a lecturer can take advantage of students? Or lootocrats can walk freely in Nigeria with our money or more importantly rig elections? We will just take our guns along when we go vote who we want and stand with our guns as they count the votes.

Gun retailers as large as Walmart are nearly sold out of every type of firearm, including semi-automatic rifles like the one that 20-year-old Adam Lanza used to kill 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary school.


Demand for firearms has exploded in the U.S., wiping store shelves clean of guns and ammo in nearly every town, city and state since the school shooting in Connecticut and ensuing calls for stricter gun laws.
