While they might not be the super records of years past, guns and overall firearms sales are still going through the roof.
According to newly released FBI data, background checks exceeded 2.51 million in August, which was consistent with the previous two summers. However, Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting (SAAF) estimates August 2022 U.S. firearms unit sales were at about 1.4 million units, a year-over-year decrease of 3.8 percent relative to August 2021. The decrease affected the handgun segment (−2.7 percent) significantly less than it did the long-gun segment (−7.2 percent). SAAF’s firearms unit sales estimates and forecasts are based on raw data taken from the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), adjusted for checks unlikely to be related to end-user firearms sales.

Mr and Mrs America, turn em’ in!
Brandon might be a better gun salesman than Barry.
I better hurry and catch up.
Sales maybe down because people’s gun safes are getting full.
Ruger and Smith & Wesson each have an AR for $749 at some national retail stores.
That is a good value and likely to hold its value. Something to think about even if you already own one.
And what did all those guns accomplish?
Cities burned, shops looted, 2 Million illegals with no money and no skills flooding in, Fentanyl killing more young Americans, violent crime ticking up, and FBI raiding Trump and his associates.
Brandon says he wants to send in a squadron of AR-15’s to take away everyone’s F-15’s. And most of all, he wants to ban the F-150.
Sales soon to spike again.
I thought the RATS’ “media maggots” were saying that gun sales in America crashed after the Uvalde cops allowed those kids to be murdered by one of their scuzbucket fellow students.
As long as orgs like the NRA only care about politicians’ voting record on 2A we will continue to see degradation and capitulation on all other fronts
To get ahead of inflation. Why else? /chuckle
That’s 370 million guns in 3 years. One per man, woman, and child. There were already 300 million out there beforehand. That’s why Russia never invaded.
So now everyone’s got two? Somebody’s pulling our middle leg.
Well played.
Brandon is woke, to the N’th degree.
You forget there were marches on some suburbs that were turned away by armed citizens with no one getting shot. Local coverage but no big national stories. But with the internet you can see everybody's local coverage if you look for it, which I did at the time after a situation in my own vicinity.
It's more about deterrence than winning firefights. So far. That applies to government action too.
Excrement! My Bad-math is wrong. That’s 37 million guns in 37 months, one for 10 people. The good news is no one here pays attention.
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!
Another month, another record!
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.
KEEP FLAPPIN' YOUR LIPS, DEMONRATS! WE'LL BUY MILLIONS MORE. ;-)
