The FBI announced on Monday that 2020 recorded the most ever gun background checks, 39,615,315.
And, said the agency, December also broke the record high set just in June. Last month, there were 3,937,066 checks in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
Firearms industry officials told Secrets that sales hit record numbers because of concerns about Black Lives Matter protests, the controversial 2020 presidential election, and Joe Biden’s promise of gun control, gun registration, and the banning of the most popular gun in America, the AR-15.
What’s more, already in January, the sales are increasing, as are the FBI background checks, which generally track gun sales.
Over the next few days, gun industry trade groups will release information on actual gun sales based on the NICS numbers, which are always higher because they include background checks for other uses.

They don’t really care. Try to buy ammo.
So THAT’S what they have been doing with their time?
Without that boat sinking I would have been set ....
Uh, $timulus ammo. Just sayin’. NOT inexpensive but it’s out there.
Thank you!!!
Ammo is now impossible to find in LA.

“Just sayin’. NOT inexpensive but it’s out there.”
Yeah, but buying a bunch of it to go to the range is cost prohibitive.
Of those firearms, there were at least 7 million new owners. At 100 rounds each, that’s 700 million rounds. Now if all 39 million want 100 rounds of ammo, that’s 3.9 BILLION rounds. The demand is so great that the manufacturers just can’t keep up.
Eric Holder can get you a deal on some nice firearms. Or do we have to bargain with a cartels to get them?
No records are kept, right?/s
Dryfire tools are your friend in times like these.

with the election being stolen by the extreme leftist commie/nazis, any American without means of defense is a complete FOOL
100 rounds of ammo? That’s like 10 minutes at the range.
I’ve switched my new gun purchases for 7.62 ammo which is still cheap and plentiful.
Personally, I have gone to the 7.62 x 54R ammo and the Mosins. FMJ rounds are averaging @ 60 cents/round. The soft points (for hunting is @ 1.55/round. That is alot cheaper than the $2/round for my 6.5 CM or 224 Valkyrie.
Yep. That is just a quick practice session.
But to the media, it's an "arsenal." :)
At my age, it may take that many rounds just to get the damn gun sighted. Usually just have the wife help since ammo is so expensive these days.
I just realized that this doesn’t include states that have their own BGC system, like Tennessee, Oregon, California, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Illinois, Virginia, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Hawaii, and Connecticut.
