July Gun Sales Crush Previous Record (2.2 million checks)

The number of gun-related background checks performed in July far exceeded those of any previous July, newly released numbers from the FBI show.

The National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, processed nearly 2.2 million checks last month. That represents an increase of almost 600,000 checks over the previous record set last year. It is also an increase of more than a million checks over July 2011.

The July record is the latest in a string of 15 record-setting months for firearm background checks. July also saw an increase over June’s numbers as the gun industry’s seasonal lull comes to an end.

This calendar year, with more than 16 million checks on record thus far, remains on pace to break the NICS check record for a single year set in 2015.

The torch is being passed from Obama to Hillary as Greatest gun salesperson.

BTW, I have one in there, a G19.

Ah, the Glock 19. In my opinion the best 9mm handgun ever designed and manufactured. I have shot many of them over the years. I can easily talk myself into getting one in August, which will be another record-breaking month for gun sales.

I also have an FN PS90 on order so I might get another this month, depending if it comes in.

So what is the total of gun sales attributed to Barry?

[PROCON]

Well, who doesn't have a G-19?

[Red in Blue PA]

I was a Glock holdout for years. I now have two, a G43 and a G19.

As long as you buy U.S. made ammo. Federal/ Blazer. Stock symbol VSTO.

What changed your mind?

Not me. Well, I mean, I'm NOT one of those who doesn't have a G-19.

Buy mags now.

I watched that before, truly a Glock selling point.

[PROCON]

You must be mistaken.

The Glock uses "clips." :-)

I waited until they finally included the threaded barrel.
Now need to scrape together the cash for a can...

Magazines? Which publication?/s

[Vendome]

To hear my friends on the left “73% of gun owners want more gun control”.

Maybe they are learning to use both hands....

I’ve been considering a Glock. My Kimber .45 jammed recently at the range. I’ve never had a 1911 type .45 jam before! My WWI and WWII surplus models never jam. Very disturbing!

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Kimbers seem to have that reputation (along with Taurus).

Rock Island Armory might turn off some 1911 purists, but I’ve never had a failure with them.

[ought-six]

I only buy US made ammo.

I’m a Glock guy; I admit it.
