As expected in last month’s article, gun sales increased in October. According to the figures released by the FBI National Instant Background Check System (NICS), gun sales were about 1.33 million for October 2023, roughly a nine percent increase over the gun sales figures for October 2022. 1.33 million gun sales make October 2023 the third-highest October for gun sales. Checks done in the NICS system in October 2023 were about 2.26 million, making October 2023 the sixth-highest number of checks done in October since the first October in the system was recorded in 1999.

The number of gun sales and NICS checks is not a 1 to 1 ratio. Many more NICS checks are done than firearm sales. NICS checks are done for gun permits and for other purposes. One NICS check can be used to sell more than one gun. People with qualifying permits in 25 states can use their carry permit to purchase guns without going through additional NICS checks.  The number of NICS checks done per gun sold varies above and below about two NICS checks for each gun sold.October 2023 NICS Checks

An increase in gun sales was predicted for October because of the Hamas raid into Israel, where there were over 1,400 Israeli deaths, many, if not most, of them non-combatants. In response, Israel is modifying its strict gun control policies.

I wonder how many are in the hands of leftist true believers and Brownshirts?

Biden’s open the border to HAMAS and every other terrorist organization in the world... Being ‘armed or not’ might mean the difference between seeing your wife raped and your children beheaded and calling to report one dead terrorist.

Some find the exercise of freedom to be very disturbing. It makes them chafe and keeps them up at night. It means you’re doing something right.

Back in the Clinton years there were reports on FR that Louis Farrakhan and his band of volunteers had an arsenal and training camps in the south.

One has to imagine that the globalist scheme that brought the world to our doorstep includes outfitting them with the latest and best as well.
