New Report: Americans Purchased More Than 1 Million Firearms a Month for Five Years

The New American ^ | 8/14/24 | Bob Adelmann

[CFW]

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) reported last week an astounding milestone: Every month of every year for the last five years Americans have purchased more than one million firearms. The group estimates that 86 million firearms were purchased during that period ending in July, and that 22 million of them were purchased by new owners.

That brings the total to approximately 510 million firearms owned by more than 82 million American citizens.

The news gets even better: Gun owners outvote non-gun owners by double digits. Four out of five of them said they voted in the last presidential election. If that holds for 2024, more than 65 million of them will vote in November. And most of them, according to scholars on both sides of the issue, will vote Republican.

The news gets still better. Vote4America is working feverishly to register gun owners who haven’t registered to vote. In battleground states of Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arizona, there are presently more than 800,000 gun owners who aren’t registered. In the highly suspect 2020 election, Trump allegedly lost those three states by just 44,000 votes.

Good job, Freepers! You have been doing your part.

Now, if you still have hunting buddies who aren't registered to vote, drag them to the registrar's office and make sure they do so.

Damned canoes. So tippy.

Hopefully they are scarfing up the ammo too. America is teetering on the brink of oblivion Jamaica is getting ready to take over the country.

The DemonRats have been pushing gun control for decades.
This is how it has been working out for them.

Think they see what’s coming?

[Yogafist]

Is that based on background checks? Every gun I have purchased over the last three to four years has been an 80%’er.

[Sirius Lee]

Damned canoes. So tippy.

F that! No boats. No lakes. Time to stop bing pussies. MOLON LABE!

Imagine if the Israelis had been allowed to do the same.

Those Hamas fools that rushed the border in pickups would have been stopped right away by concentrated fire from top floors on residential areas.
It is a shame that Israel decided to disarm its population.

Now you have a war as a result.

Guns save lives, guns avoid wars.

The recently convicted Antifa wench had an AR-type gun. I’m sure she’s happy it’s now been taken away from her.

Small rifle primers were on sale, recently, at a local retailer. I took that as a good sign.

[JParris]

Those are rookie numbers. Gotta pump them up.

[super7man]

Well what did you expect? Here in California they have a law that says you have to buy a gun every 30 days. I’m going broke. ;0)
