The National Instant Background Check System Checks (NICS) recorded the sixth-highest gun sales on record in December 2024.
Last month, this Correspondent predicted on AmmoLand that December sales would be about 1.6 million. Gun sales for 2024 would be about 14.6 million. From the previous article:
“This correspondent expects a drop in gun sales in 2024, to a bit less than what was recorded in 2022, to about 1.6 million sales.”
Estimated gun sales for December 2024 were 1.62 million.
“This correspondent’s prediction is 2024 will have had 14.6 million guns recorded as sold by NICS.”
Estimated gun sales for all of 2024 were 14.68 million.

December is most commonly the strongest month for gun sales through the NICS system. Gun sales dropped off in December, most likely because of the election of former and future president Donald Trump. Donald Trump has always campaigned as friendly to and protective of the Second Amendment. Major campaign supporter of Donald Trump, Elon Musk, transformed the media landscape by purchasing X, formerly Twitter. Musk has been a strong and vocal supporter of the Second Amendment.

Come on Americans! DO YOUR PART for industry, for safety, security.
BUY MORE GUNS!
Like the libturds keep saying, ONE GUN A MONTH! If you weren’t being taxed so heavily to support illegal aliens and Ukrainian civil servants you’d be able to afford it.
DO YOUR PART FOR AMERICA!
“ When Barack Obama was elected, the estimated number of “modern firearms ” (1899-2008) privately owned in the United States of America was 308 million. In the last 16 years, another 208 million have been added to the private stock. ”

Your estimates were very close.
One gun a month could get expensive in a hurry. Plus, you have to store them somewhere. Pretty soon you have gun safes in every room of the house, several in the garage, etc.
More lunacy from leftists!
Thankfully some of MINE are pre-1968. NO PAPER TRAIL!
The new Ruger RXM tempted me...
But, no.
Boy, you hit the nail on the head.
Aside from the purchase of quality firearms.
Personally, I am up to 3 safes and my wife has signalled to me that no more will be tolerated. Crap, a person could never possible store the number of guns in a safe that the manufacturers advertise.
One of my former students purchased a 40” container unit for gun storage. He framed it, insulated it and ran a mini split system with a massive dehumidifier inside.
