For the third month this year, the FBI reported record-shattering gun sales background checks, the latest indication that the 2020 election, concerns about the coronavirus crisis, and race protests are pushing gun purchases to a historic high.
On the heels of the 3,931,607 background checks in June, the most ever in the 14-year history of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, the FBI on Monday said that July checks totaled 3,639,224, the third-highest monthly total ever. March saw the second-highest ever at 3,740,688.
Overall, the FBI has conducted 22,819,271 background checks this year, nearly 44% over last year, when checks through July totaled 15,890,359.

If you don’t have “enough” firearms presently you aren’t going to find many available right now.
Remember when Obama was the top gun salesman? How did that change? Or is he still the top gun salesman?
At the huge online firearms site Brownells,weapons sales are up 90%, led by handguns. Ammo sales are up 30%, and web traffic to Brownells.com has been up 60%-70%.
A visit by Secrets last week to three gun stores in Virginia found two with just a handful of weapons for sale and a third where ammunition was swept off the shelves the minute it was stocked.
Conservatives have always purchased firearms. Question is, who are all these people who’ve never had background checks done before in connection with purchasing a firearm? These are not repeaters.
Looks like Obama has been replaced by BLM as the best gun sales force.
This is because everyone is voting for the Biden/Marxist Harpy ticket and arming themselves against the results they expect.
Based on this poll, Trump in a landslide, which is why they are going to shove mail-in voting through so that a winner will never be able to be declared because of all the missing/fraudulent votes.
The graph is rather convincing I’d say!
Can’t get primers either again. Too bad I lost my stocks in that boat....
It is also hard to find magazines and ammo.
Everythings beginning to show unavailability.
More than half the NICS checks are now made up of permit checks and rechecks.
They are still high numbers, about 1.7 million gun sales in July, which is record level.
These so called “peaceful” protests have everybody worried. Soccer moms and dads in the suburbs have been shocked that BLM surround their vehicles and threaten them with harm, even with babies in the back seat. Then they call 911 and operator says we cannot do anything to disrupt the protests. So instead of police coming to assist the citizens, the citizens are warned to stay in their car and not do anything against the mob. This happened just down the street from me in northern VA.
That number is held back significantly by product availability.
There is at least one retailer (I know of) that is up over 800%

How would one go about finding a private seller of guns?
