Why huge surge in gun sales in US?


World knows the gun culture in United States. There were many incidents occurred in United States where people killed in Universities and in other places by others with guns. 

The sales of the guns have increased all of the sudden in the nation in recent past. Gun sales year-to-date in 2020 already surpass the total number of guns sold for all of 2019. It is interesting that 40% of the people are buying the guns in 2020 for first time. The University of California study has found that concerns about the pandemic drove a surge in gun sales in California and increased owners’ propensity to store their firearms loaded and not locked up.


These people are queuing up to buy guns ahead of the US Presidential election. Many buyers say they are concerned about the political climate and post-election protests. 17 million firearms were sold across the US in September 2020. US gun sales were up 66% in September compared to the same month in 2019. Gun sales were already rising in the US over fears about social stability during the pandemic. Millions more weapons have gone into circulation in a nation where guns outnumber people.



Sales surged in the spring amid coronavirus fears and climbed higher during protests for racial justice. There is another reason for the surge of gun sales in US. If Democrats win the White house, there will be possible new regulation in owning fired arms. Many first-time buyers, including women, choose a weapon from the Smith & Wesson EZ line of 9mm semi-automatic pistols. Wal-Mart will no longer have guns and ammunition on the sales floor of some stores amid civil unrest in several states. Wal-Mart took similar measures in June during protests of the deadly arrest of George Floyd. It raised the minimum age to buy firearms and ammunition from 18 to 21.

Producers demand 18 crores for Ceded for Pavan and Trivikram film

Director Rajamouli showed the path to all other producers on how to sell product (movie) in different ways across the word. Telugu Cinema has vertically divided in two ways Before and after Bahubali. Bahubali proves that there were no boundaries in selling the movie. Other producers who are doing with star heros like Pavan, Mahesh and Jr. NTR will follow Rajamouli in this regard. But there is slight difference with Bahubali and other heros films. Unfortunately, producers and distributors fail to notice the gap. Bahubali is universal movie which was apt to all sections in the world. That is the reason for getting huge collections across the world. We didn't expect the same situation for Prabas's next movie even though his popularity increased with Bahubali. Radha Krishna who produced movies like Julayi and A. AA.. will plan to produce next film with Pavan and Trivikram. Movie was not yet started but distributors rushed toward producer for getting area-wise rights.Obviously, ...
