Clinging

From today’s Washington Post

Americans have cut back on buying cars, furniture and clothes in a tough economy, but there’s one consumer item that’s still enjoying healthy sales: guns. Purchases of firearms and ammunition have risen 8 to 10 percent this year, according to state and federal data.

On the other hand, as we’ve reported before, pawn shops are seeing an enormous number of guns put up as collateral.   Interesting.  Probably would take a team of economists to figure that one out.
