TEMPO.CO , Jakarta - In the run-up to the November 8 elections in the US, Miranda Evans has already noticed an increase in gun sales in her shop in Mississippi.
Some customers are worried Hillary Clinton will be the 45th US president.
During her campaign, the Democratic candidate has said it is necessary to further regulate gun sales to lower the amount of deaths related to firearms.
Her husband, former president Bill Clinton, signed an anti-gun law in 1994, banning assault rifles for a period of 10 years - a ban Hillary Clinton has vowed to reinstate.
Evans has seen gun sales growing before. After the Sandy Hook massacre, when a 20-year-old man killed 20 children and six staff members at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, using an AR-15 type of semi-automatic rifle was one such instance.
