Americans bought a record number of firearms in 2020 amid a year that challenged our conventional wisdom about civil liberties, showed us the delicate balance between law and order and even strained the country’s supply chains.

While gun sales generally increase in presidential election years, 2020 has been one for the record books, and it still isn’t over. President Donald Trump has vowed to continue fighting to challenge the Nov. 3 election results that show he lost to Democrat Joe Biden in a number of key swing states.

Additionally, many states still have their residents under the thumb of some form of draconian lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.

I believe I heard beato will offer 10 cents on the dollar during the great bye-DONE buy back program. How long before some CONgress critter wants to amend the NICS check to 'legally' record the purchasers info or try to have all 4473 entered into a 'batf' data base? Some may say that can't happen. My response----did you see '2020'?

It’s wearing me out.
We ran 162 background checks on a Tuesday yesterday.
It’s showing no sign of letting up.

The 2nd amendment foundation pointed out that there is no penalty in the law for not deleting the FBI background check as required.

I'm pretty sure there already is an elaborate 4473 database. By next year, it will probably be expanded to included anybody who has ever read a gun article online.

Already being done.

The new 4473 has your firearm info right on the front page, suitable for scanning and photographing with minimal effort.

When I left at 7:30 p.m. we still had about a dozen on delay.
Only one denial.

Smith & Wesson has been great in delivering product.
We did get a big shipment of Glocks yesterday too.

Well the “Political Class” claims it’s impossible to round up and deport the tens of millions of illegals here, so I am sure we don’t have to worry about any kind of firearms confiscation...

Strongly implied by the fact that they could have made it anonymous but chose not to.

Nice. I know there are some making it to the shops. Guess the makers are getting some OT in.

There’s your ammo shortage right there. It’ll take 2 years to catch up. Why every opportunity there is a low demand with high shelf stock, you stock. Lesson learned for the newbies, not me.

Never trusted the background check when Clinton put it into place--ATF already demonstrated they were a rogue agency in a big way with Waco.
I'm pretty sure they've been trying to build a database.

At some point, you have to drop the fear. And if government finally "goes there", to coin the phrase, "use it or lose it".
One longtime Freepers tagine said it all-you don't go head to head with the goons. You go after the ones who sent them.
