Gun sales have crossed into new and 'historic' territory,... averaging over 16 million 'sold annually' as buyers who are concerned about violent crime arm up.

According to the FBI, the last three years have recorded new highs in gun sales and background checks....Gun store representatives have told Secrets that concerns about safety and fears of violent political division in the nation are helping to drive sales. Also, record numbers are getting concealed carry permits, which typically precede gun purchases.

Only 16 million. It should be way more. I much rather have the DC feds and the WEF goons fear us a lot more than we fear them.

It should be illegal to track gun sales.

More the better without qustion.

Just read Bidens going to fast track illegals here with new immigration rules....he’s supposedly visiting the border Sunday.

Many do not want their gun purchases tracked.....I suspet there’s a strong black market for them.

With all the illegals crossing into our country from 3rd world countries, their weapon of choice appears to be knives....until thy find th black markt for a gun.

I agree that gun sales should not be tracked.

We have to be ready because this country is going to continue to get more violent with all these 3rd worlders marching in. And in no time they’ll form gangs and such to take what they want.

Agreed. I personally believe we are on track to become similar to Rhodesia post 1980.

So, it turns out that, the biggest supporters of the 2nd amendment, are democrats, since they’re causing more guns to be sold. Whowouldathunkit?

And government officials believe all these gun owners are just going to let them “buy back” their guns? Some of the new gun owners who lean left may do so, but I have my doubts as to even them doing so. The government cannot and will not be able to assure people that they can control crime and keep communities. People are seeing that now. Black women are one of the largest segment of society who are arming-up. I’m sure some of you saw that video of the woman in Atlanta pulling her 9mm pistol and fighting back against two who were trying to ambush her. She is not the only one.

That’s not even taking into consideration the number of people who believe they will be going to war against their own government.

Frankly I have no idea where all this is going to go except worse than what things are now. I’ve even resorted to not going out after dark and i live in a good area. Just too risky.
