Lines are numbers for 2022. Bars are numbers for 2023.

Very few people wanted an ugly rifle in the 1970s until Mel Tappan wrote his book on survival guns. Then the government moved to ban them. Suddenly everyone wanted one, or two, or more!
From a few thousand owners in the 1970s we now have over 25 million owners of such rifles.

I’m done buying guns for a while.
Now it’s ammo and components.

I stocked up the year Barry sashayed into the Oval Office
He had a prevailing wage contract that year and every bit of that above my normal rate went to guns, ammo and a big new safe

Raise your hand if you think the FBI and ATF are not keeping a registry of all these gun sales?
Anyone?

And anyone with mechanical aptitude, a drill press, and a few hours can make a receiver sans registration. But I would never recommend that because the government wants your guns registered for your own protection.

Two. Why would you want carpet though? 1.) Binge watch John Wayne movies & episodes of The Rifleman in a conducive atmosphere?
2.) Concession to a gunner wife whose into interior design?

Firearm sales have gone up. Have been going up. Numbers of military-age males crossing our border have gone up. Have been going up.
Who are buying all these firearms? Straw-buyers working for the feds and creating caches? Won't need traceable annoyances like purchase orders doing it this way.
Have I been watching too much TV?

Ssßsshhhh,,,
You didn’t get the memo...

I’m doing my part. Just ordered this for my son’s birthday:
CZ-USA Hammer Coach Side by Side Shotgun 12 Gauge 20” Barrels 2 Rounds 3” Chambers Case Hardened Frame Walnut Stock Blued 06130 [FC-806703061306]
Don’t criticize. It’s what he wanted. He bought himself a Colt Anaconda a couple weeks ago. He loves the retro stuff.

I'm most interested in the numbers of new gun owners, new women gun owners, and new minority gun owners. Such important and otherwise vulnerable demographics.
May all gun buyers be legal owners and get competent training, observe safe practices over all and train frequently at the range.

The DemonRats have been pushing gun control for decades.
This is how it has been working out for them.
And in the last two months... (Nov. 2012 and Dec. 2012)
And it continues...
And there is more...
And more...
And yet more...
And more and more and...
We just keep buyin' more...
And we bought more more more...
And more and more and more...
Could it be? More?
More Americans buy more guns...
We just love guns...
Buy a gun, you'll be in Hogg Heaven!
- 'Yuge' March for estimated gun sales April 3, 2018
Applications submitted to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System exceeded 2.7 million last month
—
the busiest March on record and the third highest ranking month since the FBI began keeping track in 1998.
Another month, another record!
- April Sets Gun Sales Record May 7, 2018
The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) ran 2,233,213 checks in April, according to an FBI document.
That's nearly 90,000 more checks than the previous April record set in 2016.
It also represents the second month in a row to set a record with March seeing 2,767,699 checks.
Will the record breaking ever stop?
Looks like it will never stop.
It will never stop. :)
Gun sales records AGAIN!
Did somebody say "Boom?"
Reaffirming what we all know to be right.
If we buy anymore guns the continent might flip over.
- NICS Numbers and Gun Sales for August 2023, Fifth Highest on Record AmmoLand ^ | September 20, 2023 | Dean Weingarten
The number of checks done by the FBI was about 2.14 million in August of 2023.
The number of gun sales was estimated at 1.06 million, just .27% higher than the estimate for 2019.
The gun sales in 2016 were higher, about 1.17 million.
KEEP FLAPPIN' YOUR LIPS, DEMONRATS! WE'LL BUY MILLIONS MORE. ;-)

During one of the Obama panics, I saw an old Olympic Arms AR at a gun show. Really wonky cast receiver, with a lot of slop between upper snd lower. They wanted a lot for it.
