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 don’t think it’s a stretch to believe that over 50% of those new gun owners would turn around and surrender their new tools to the hands of our petty dictators.
The political class elected or carrera of every flavor are panicking, they know damn well that they do not have enough in their ranks to try a takeout of those armed.
Yes they will try, but the groundswell that would follow would be swift and they know retribution has its name on them.
Respects.
Once that horse has left the barn, they'll work with the MSM to run countless heart-wrenching stories about how the victims just wanted to give peace a chance.
With strong public support, they'll demand records of all transactions and start doing Bad Things.
As for the 73% gain, we're not working hard enough. I want 100%.
Yes, and 730 percent more ammunition, “For obvious reasons”, as Dana Loesch (sp?) says.

ATF was caught trying to do this back in the 90’s so yes it can happen.
This is a bit off topic, but I was wondering if you have any opinions or experience with their Bodyguard Series in 380 ?
I am curious if they are any good, since the Glock G42 doesn't seem small enough compared to the 43 or 26 to warrant downgrading from 9mm.
I prefer Glocks, but on occasion I would like a pocketable CC pistol which could also serve as a backup.
There’s not going to be any shortage of guns, ammo on the other hand...
Just wait till Joe shuts down overseas shipments and bans on-line sales of ALL ammo next year.
The days of ONLY $1 a rd for 9mm will seem like the good ol salad days.
The Bodyguard is not bad, it does have a thumb safety that the Ruger LCP does not have.
All of the little pocket guns are a bit snappy because of how small and light they are.
I carry a Sig P238.
Metal frame, a bit heavier but a better shooter.
In their perfect world view your thoughts are very much plausable events, the false flag shall come first, it’s their “normal” operational startup event.
What they hide in their nightmares is that once the horse has bolted then they. And their media then also become active combatants... And that’s in the heads of every MSM employee.
Respects.
Agreed. Methinks the vast majority of latecomers did not have any experience with firearms in their upbringing.
Unless the first time gun buyer is going to get all rabid against the gun grabbers, the only thing he's accomplished for me is to make reloading components harder to find.
But if he's had a epiphany, if he realizes all RATs are enemies of civilization, and will vote accordingly, then .. "welcome aboard, bro!"
They can be taught, we are all not military trained or private vshooting range trained, but those who are new can be taught very calmly and with good results, as time permits they will get better.
We help those to help defend themselves do we not ???
True
Thanks for the tip, I will take a look.
But I am always arguing with my Brother in Law about Glock vs SIG, so I will have to keep it a secret :).
😯😂
Terrific little gun.
Wednesday before Thanksgiving we were shooting out in the country at 2” Christmas balls filled with powdered coffee creamer at about 70 yards.
Everybody else was using rifles, I decided to try to hit one with the Sig.
Took me most of the magazine, but I did it.
Surely they would NEVER work outside those boundaries. Right? Mueller? 😒
Some people are not buying more guns because there is no more room in their safe.
“Bueller!” Stoopid spell check. 😡
I don't believe training is the obstacle for most new gun owners,
Its the fundamental belief that the 2nd amendment is non negotiable and is primarily a backstop against the Government, thus giving us the unalienable right to own "weapons of war" .
