Firearm-related background checks reached 3.9 million in June, the most since the tracking system was created more than two decades ago amid multiple crises in the coronavirus pandemic, an economic downfall and protests over police brutality and racial injustice.
The lastest numbers are the most since the FBI began tracking such checks in 1998.
More than 19 million checks -- a key barometer for gun sales -- were conducted in the first half of 2020, more than all of 2012 and many years prior. Gun sales usually see an uptick in presidential election years over fears an incoming president could restrict access to firearms.

If it ever came to blows, it might go on for a long time. Hoping some sanity will come back to offended. Unplug CNN would help. They have hate speech.
Due to “protests over police brutality and racial injustice.”
Typical Fox News lies. It is actually due to rampant communists fomenting violent revolution while PRETENDING to be for social justice.
You are assuming that the people purchasing the guns are law-abiding conservatives. We already have firearms (at least I do). My concern is that the people buying the guns are Antifa puke and BLM scum.
Did my share today and filled another slot in the 4th safe.
Well, they have to be law-abiding to a good extent or they would fail the background check.
I noticed a local Walmart has the Savage Axis in 30-06 for $175. I am tempted to spend some of my virus money but am not familiar with it other than it appears to be a 110 action.

I picked up a Heritage 22 single action revolver. $120.00 on sale.
It’s rare on FR, but I don’t need any more guns. I’ll get my scuba equipment out if I decide that I do need one. Now ammo, that’s a different story (at 200-plus rounds per day, over half of that .22 LR).
That’s a very good and valid point. Probably a false assumption on my part. Thanks for pointing that out.
Indeed, there have been quite a few articles the past few years about leftists buying guns.
That’s a great deal, you should go for it.
“Heritage 22 single action revolver”
I thought about getting one of those. How do you like it?
Very few of them have been arrested, let alone convicted. Some have, but there are thousands more who have a clean arrest record.
The John Brown Gun Club, for one. (Go to the web page.)
Awesome shirt.
Most of the online gun shops have rifles and pistols. Anyone find any bullpup shotguns, let me know
Haven’t shot it yet. It weighs over 2lbs. Has the standard 4 click hammer. Feels nice and sturdy. Of course it isn’t a Blackhawk.
Gee?....I wonder why we AMERICANS stockpile weaponry? Good habit if you ask me...an ARMED society is a POLITE society.
