Following the second best-ever year for gun sales, when some 25 million were traded, January started fast too.
The FBI recorded 2,030,530 background checks in January, just off the 2,043,284 in January 2016.
“Historically, January is sluggish, but we were up over 10 percent from last January, so our outlook for the year is bright,” said our go-to expert Justin Anderson, director of marketing for Hyatt Guns in Charlotte, N.C., one of the nation’s biggest.

Lots if democrats running loose in big cities.
“So why is Remington on the verge of going TU?”
What did they do to Marlin? Green eye shade pocket protector pencil necks running things instead of gun people.
“It’s indicative of a society that understands how long it takes for police to respond to a call.”
And then half the time you regret it if they do respond.
