Tamaqua, Schuylkill County-- Ed Kennedy says he has never seen anything like it before as people rushed to his store to buy guns of all types. Kennedy owns Ed's Sports Shop in Tamaqua and says his shelves weer emptied by nervous gun owners who fear what they call a possible "gun grab" by the government. Kennedy said, "The Presidents is approaching this issue totally wrong. He should be looking at the mental health issues.This is not a gun problem this is a people problem..people who have mental issues that should never have a chance to buy any gun." Kennedy added, "We agree that some people should not have access to guns but he the President is punishing law abiding citizens with these policies." Customer Nick Boye from Tamaqua told Eyewitness News, "I think the FBI data and CDC data show that guns he wants to ban and magazines being made smaller are not the problem. We have to address the guy who is mentally incompetent."
