It makes sense why someone might buy a gun after hearing about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting massacre late last year. 

Such tragedies are often used by anti-gun legislators to curtail Second Amendment rights, which is precisely what happened in the days and weeks that followed. Or, the massacre might simply remind people that they’d like to have a firearm in their home to protect their loved ones from those who think nothing of strolling into a school and firing at children.

To comedian and Kids in the Hall player Dave Foley, the people who bought firearms after the massacre are simply “loathsome.”
