The trend line of 2024 as the fifth highest for gun sales and National Instant Background Check System (NICS) checks is holding for the year. November 2024 had the sixth-highest gun sales for that month. It was close. November of 2022 had .28% higher numbers. The NICS background checks were the fifth most for the month. November 2020 holds the record for gun sales in the month, with about 3.6 million sold in November 2020.
The estimate of gun sales through November of 2024 is a bit over 13 million. December is traditionally the highest month for gun sales, with memories of recent hunting seasons and Christmas contributing.

Since our young folks seem to think violence is okay, learned from their leftist teachers, this may be a good thing...or a bad thing.
Proud to have done my part to maintain firearms sales in November!
just wait! traditionally it’s the young folks who turn on their teachers and guess who their teachers are...
It's naive to think that our enemies are not arming themselves for action against soft targets.
I’d wanna see statistics for the amount of ammo sold. Guns have become fashion with everyone buying the latest greatest. Just like outdoor gear. I’ve got a few guns and practice like hell with all of them. That’s what makes you a weapon. I’ll put me and my trusty Mossberg 500 shotgun against any modern tactical shotgun in the world. Same with my Remington 700. Same with my 10 year old AR-15. Don’t get caught up in fashion. Learn to shoot the guns you have.
I hope people buying those guns realize if you buy a gun and just store it in a closet until needed and expect to be able to pull it out and defend your family won’t work. I believe you need to get training to know what your responsibility is to own and use one, state and national rules and laws, and then practice practice practice so you can hit the necessary mark when you need to.
I’d agree. Both Leftists and normal people can buy guns, and most normal people already have a couple laying around. Never underestimate your enemy.
Maybe more people are buying printers to make their own now?.
Why buy one gun when you can make many bunker back ups huh.
I finally bought a gun I’ve wanted most of my life. An M1 Garand from the CMP.
That’s cool as fuck. Now learn to shoot it.
