The FBI conducted 187,585 National Instant Criminal Background System (NICS) checks on gun sales and transfers on Black Friday 2021 alone.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) reports the Black Friday 2021 NICS checks surpassed those of 2020, which came in at 186,645.
Moreover, NSSF noted that the FBI performed a total of 687,788 NICS checks during the entire week, including those on Black Friday.
NSSF president Joe Bartozzi commented on the tremendous number of background checks conducted last week:
This figure of over 687,000 background checks is truly remarkable. This year has already been shaping up to be the second strongest year for firearm sales on record, second only to 2020’s record-breaking number of 21 million background checks for a firearm sale. We anticipate, based on annual data, that firearm sales will rise during the final month of the year coinciding with hunting seasons and holiday sales. This figure, though, underscores the appetite for lawful firearm ownership in America and the resilience of the firearm and ammunition industry to meet that demand.
Background checks have been relatively high during 2021, with the number of NICS checks in October proving the be the second-highest number of checks ever for the month of October.
Breitbart News noted similar data for September 2021, which came in with the second-most NICS checks of any September in history.
There were 2,626,389 NICS checks conducted in September, second only to the 2,892,115 conducted in September 2020.
August 2021 and July 2021 both witnessed the second-highest number of NICS checks for their respective months as well.

Well done, Patriots! Well. Done.
I saw quite a few gun specials. So there’s that.
Grab a couple of cases of American made ammo to go with them. NO FOREIGN.

White-hot Biden economy....

NO ONE .. seems to care!
Can’t say no to a $400 1911.
Legally, no checks could be made for those who bought only 80% of a firearm, and are “ghosting” the feds...
Sweet. maker?
Hunting season is open.
About a week ago, I saw a single box of 30-30 150gr Federal ammo on the shelf at Walmart. I normally shoot 170 grain, but bought it.
Yesterday I went there for a few grocery items, and they had 2 boxes of 30-30 150 grain and 2 boxes of .30-06 Winchester (? grain). I did not buy either, but it had been almost 2 years since I saw a box of 30-30 for sale. (reload a lot of calibers).
Now if we could just buy a few boxes of primers, I’d feel more comfortable.
All I’ve been able to buy this year was 400 small pistol primers.
The Fed Gov has stopped the sale of foreign primers inside the USA except for ammo manufactures.
I gaze longingly upon the polymer 80 frame kits. I’m not that mechanically minded though. But I can follow simple instructions and have a drill press.
That amounts to arming more soldiers than each of 147 countries - in one day.
It's not just the 2nd Amendment - if you read through the first ten amendments, and think about current events & modern life, you realize the government is routinely violating almost the entire Bill of Rights...
Well,
You’ll Not find any
Russian ammo,
Let’s go Brandon!
A router would be better.
Foreign may be all you can get.
Hypothetically, is it an easy task? On a level of 1 to 10 with 1 being easy peasy and ten being complicated, what would you rate it as?
