The same type of gun used by the shooter in Uvalde, Texas, last month is in demand.
A St. Louis area firearms dealer said despite talks of expanded background checks and efforts to curb rifle sales, his business is as busy as ever.
“We see an instant rise in gun sales, usually three to five days after an active shooter event," said Paul Bastean, a gun store owner in St. Peters.
He hears that his customers are afraid of losing their chance to buy such a weapon.
“I get scared. I get real scared about it," said Michelle Jackson, a mother in St. Louis who lost her son to gun violence.
