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.

I had a hankering for a Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt/.45acp convertible with the 4.62" barrel.

Talk about bad timing. I don't even thing that Ruger is producing Blackhawks right now.

I'm good for everything else.

with the election being stolen by the extreme leftist commie/nazis, any American without means of defense is a complete FOOL

Lots of fools out there, as we've all seen, time after time. They sit on their hands when it's time to vote (or even worse, vote D@mocrat). And then, when they finally realize - surprise, surprise! - that yet ANOTHER gun/mag/ammo ban is about to be passed by the D@mocrats, they run out & spend $1000 or $2000 or more on guns/mags/ammo that they could have got for a fraction of the cost, IF THEY HAD JUST VOTED TO PROTECT THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

Want to see some of the STUPIDIST people in America? Go to a local gun store this week, and see who's buying...

Some of them may be stupid but wanting to protect themselves isn’t part of their intelligence deficit

That's true - maybe I should've said "some of the SLOWEST people in America"...

Understood. Fine

Just getting a bit impatient with people, I guess, after watching this same nonsense time, after time, after time: people who couldn’t be bothered to donate $5 to a pro-gun candidate (or vote), running out & spending hundreds or thousands of dollars in a panic. Freaking gun owners never learn...
