November NICS Gun Sales Make 2021 Second Highest Year on Record

2021 has become the second-highest year for firearm sales after the record set in 2020

In November of 2021, there were about 1.51 million firearm sales conducted through the National Instant background Check System (NICS) and 2.69 million NICS checks. November of 2021 was the third-highest November for gun sales and total NICS background checks since NICS was started in 1998.

There were about .758 million checks for handguns, .629 million checks for long guns, almost 55 thousand checks for “other” which might be handguns, long guns, or simple firearms, and often applies to receivers which have not yet been assembled into working firearms, and about 27 thousand checks which were for multiple firearms.

In the estimation of the number of firearms sold, background checks for multiple items are multiplied by 2.5 to obtain an approximate number for sales.

From this correspondent’s subjective experience, reading and watching of markets, it appears some firearms are becoming available; some ammunition is coming back into stores, some prices are dropping for some items. This indicates we are approaching rough parity in supply and demand for firearms and ammunition.

November and December are traditionally very high months for firearm sales. There have been about 16.7 million firearms sold through the NICS system from 2021 through the end of November.  That is a bit more than the about 16.3 million firearms sold in 2016, which was the second-highest year until now.

The trend is now moderating. This correspondent expects the gun sales in December to be between 1.5 and 2 million firearms. The total for 2021 will be well over 18 million firearms.

With 18 million firearms sold in 2021, the total stock of private firearms in the United States will have grown to approximately 481 million. This estimate is calculated with

Number of privately owned guns in the USA is now about 480 million and climbing.

I bought a firearm I didn’t need because of SloJoe. He convinced me to buy it. I don’t regret it but still I wouldn’t have otherwise.

Justin Moore - Guns

I started out with a .410, then moved to a .20 gauge.
Every squirrel and rabbit in Dallas county knew my name.
I sat on the stand with PawPaw from the time I was three years old.
When I was eight I used a muzzle loader to kill my first doe.
These days I go down to Wal-Mart and they set 'em in the back.
Some people wanna take 'em away, why don't you go bust them boys that sellin' crack.

Guns, whether Remingtons and Glocks.
Come on man it ain't like I'm a slingin' 'em on the block.
I'm gunna tell you once and listen son.
As long as I'm alive and breathing,
You wont take my guns.

If there ever was a time we need 'em,
I'd say it be today.
When we're letting them terrorists watch cable TV and walk out of Guantanamo Bay.
I just try to do the right thing and raise my family in this land.
Treating me like you want to be treated and that's what I call a man.
If we don't have 'em, what do we do. Tell me where we gunna go.
Somebody breaks into my house, I'm gunna need my Colt .44.

Guns, whether Remingtons and Glocks.
Come on man it, ain't like I'm a slingin' 'em on the block.
I'm gunna tell you once and listen son.
As long as I'm alive and breathing,
You wont take my guns.

Listen.

Guns. Whether Remingtons or Glocks.
Come on man, it ain't like I'm a slingin' 'em on the block.
I'm gunna tell once and listen son.
As long as I'm alive and breathing,
And I'm still breathing,
You wont take my guns.

No, you can take 'em from me when you take 'em from my grandpa and my daddy.

“Number of privately owned guns in the USA is now about 480 million and climbing.”

Yeah. But we only have like 10 bullets between us, LOL! J/K!

Seems as if ‘moderate’ Dems are loading up, too. It can’t all be just us Conservatives at this pace...

Democrats may be buying guns, but they will still vote for Democrat/anti-gun representatives. And they will still support gun control. One of the key characteristics of Democrat voters is the inability to link their own voting patterns with the negatives consequences that those voting patterns cause.

Example: New Yorkers moving to Florida. New Yorkers love to retire to Florida because the taxes are low, crime is punished (making for less crime) and there are not tons of burdensome regulations. So what's the first thing they do is vote for representatives that will start making Florida more like New York.

A Democrat who just bought a gun is a Democrat with a gun - still a Democrat

Oh, I’m in 100% agreement with you, there. I was just talking sheer numbers of guns purchased. I know no minds will be changed.

They’ll always, ALWAYS put party over country. Always. And ruin anything they touch. :(

[Obadiah]

Well, well, well. Looks like Obama may get replaced as gun salesman of the year.

[Blood of Tyrants]

And the ammo shortage is extended by the buying spree.
