Comparison of NICS 2020 gun sales by type/month with 2021 gun sales by type/month Posted on 08/07/2021 4:38:16 AM PDT by marktwain
U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- July 2021 was the second-highest total July for National Instant background Check System (NICS) checks on record. The highest was in July of 2020. The number of checks done in July of 2021 was 2,860,476. The number in July of 2020 was 3,639,224.
July 2021 was also the second-highest July for gun sales on record, with the highest having been last year, July of 2020, as well. The July 2021 gun sales were 1.84 million. The calculation of the number is approximate, consisting of handgun checks + Long guns checks + Other guns checks + 2.5 x multiple sales on 1 check = 1.84 million gun sales in July 2020. The percentage of gun sales of all NICS checks for the month was 51%.Comparison of NICS 2020 gun sales by type/month with 2021 gun sales by type/month
In July of 2016, the number of gun sales was 1.22 million, slightly less. The percentage of checks used for gun sales was 48%.
The major culprit in de-linking background checks from gun sales is the use of the checks for numerous other purposes, especially for carry permits and carry permit rechecks. The FBI does not charge states to run NICS checks, so Illinois and Kentucky run hundreds of thousands of re-checks on carry permits every month.
Demand for guns and ammunition is still very high, as noted by the numbers. However, the demand has dropped off the record-shattering levels experienced in 2020. With over a year of record-breaking demand, firearm producers responded.

Xi Din is going to have a lot of guns to collect.
He will just have his technicians customize the jab required of every American who wants to work, travel, buy anything, or receive any government benefit.
As all the information for every American will be at his disposal, his minions and algorithms can easily determine potential troublemakers and arrange for them to have more troubles.
Bingo .cheap shotvuns and rifles, nothing average quality or over priced high end stuff. As for ammo, people are panic buying. Anything that hits the shelves, even if they dont had the weapon, they buy it to trade for the ammo they want. I want to vo back to the bad old days when you could walk iinto kmart and buy a pistol, semi auto or a decent hunting rifle. They had ruger mimi 14’s behind the glass. . Of course, I had very little money then so I COULDN’T buy them. But.....
Those Hi-Point carbines are still worth buying if you can find them on sale. 40 cal and 10mm sell well but 9mm is the most popular.
Alternatively, they’re just running out of people to sell guns to now!
