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.

Molon Labe, Obamaholes.
They take them from people on an individual basis. No one joins up to help one person. Their tactics are successful.
It would take a long time to round up 500 million one at a time.
At some point they will send blue helmets out to get them.
Yeah, Dean - and I hope that a lot of the new buyers are fellow members of The Tribe*. AND, I hope that they get some training afterwards.
BTW, I think you now live in Israel. My understanding is that there you can own a firearm but are limited to 50 rounds of ammunition. The footage of the October 6th invasion shows the terrorists going house to house with no return fire. WTF? We hope that all changes - and SOON!
* For those of you who live in rural Flyover Country, that means “Jews” (-:
I’m doing the best I can, but I could use a little help. Someone loan me an grand so I can get a Benelli nova.

So considering the brisk sales since 2018, the 600 million number could be close ... or it could be 250 million short.

Sorry, fat-fingered it. Meant "500 million."
Buy bulk.
Import ammo has been greatly reduced since this time last year and some sources are now non existent.
Have not found any foreign NATO the past week.
Lake City is no longer supplying the retail market, so what is out there is it.
Or go ahead and pay $40-50 retail for a single box of your favorite flavor.
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. ;-)
It’s not like conservatives in red states aren’t already armed. So who then are the new purchasers? Illegals coming over the border? Single, white, divorced sex-crazed females? We had 2.5 million illegals enter the country over the past year alone. You know many of them are going to be able to find a source to buy what they want. This has me really worried.
Our government traces our weapon purchases. But they refuse to trace foreign invaders.
“It’s not like conservatives in red states aren’t already armed. So who then are the new purchasers?”
Maybe many conservatives decided they were not as well-armed as they thought they were and are supplementing their supplies.
Benelli pumps go for around $400.
You can get a case of .223/5.56 for around $600.
When considering adding a land invasion of California to the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese were advised against it by Yamamoto.
He had lived in America for twenty years and knew Americans.
He said “There will be an American behind every tree with a gun so don’t try it.”
A guys gotta get ammo, a sling and an optic!

Hope they’re also stocking up on ammo!
Can’t hold out for long once the ammo runs out!
