Gun sales and National Instant Background Check System (NICS) numbers for September of 2023 continue the trend of being the fifth highest for the month. The first full year of NICS records is for 1999. The history of NICS now covers the last 25 years. NICS checks were recorded at 2,104,825 for September of 2023. Gun sales for September are estimated at 1.09 million. NICS does not track gun sales directly. Multiple gun sales can be done with one background check. 25 states have permit systems that can be used instead of a separate background check. Background checks are done for multiple purposes besides gun sales. The number of background checks done for each gun sale has varied considerably from year to year.
August and September have been reasonably close in NICS numbers for most of NICS history. August has had slightly more NICS checks than September for the last six years. Only two Octobers in the last 25 years have had NICS checks lower than the previous September.

Some expect October of 2023 numbers to be significantly higher than those for September because of the recent events in Israel. Israel has strict restrictions on the private ownership of firearms. There are only about 150,000 private guns in the country or about 1.6 for each 100 Israelis. The restrictions are part of the legacy of Israel being founded as a socialist country. 500 dead Israelis is a large number for a small country with a population of less than ten million.

I think I’m going to get a truck gun, something I can leave in my truck all the time. I went back and forth between a shotgun and AR, but now I think I’ve settled on an AR. Would you happen to have any knowledge of Palmetto State Armory, specifically this:

I do not know about that specific model, but have had good luck with Palmetto State equipment.
The communists’ fake argument to end the 2A ids over and Israel proved us right. We must never even listen to their bill Shiite.
All dictators take power over unarmed citizens. Not here.
This will also be a big surprise for hamas.
Go Freepers! Go!
Do your part!
