With Democrats in control of both the executive and legislative branches of our government, the American people once again decided that now is probably the best time to get a gun, and as usual, with Democrats looking to attack our 2nd Amendment rights, the American people aren’t wrong.
According to Fox News, the world’s greatest weapons dealers inspired a surge in gun purchases setting a January record with a staggering number of gun buys:
The FBI conducted more than 4.3 million gun background checks in January 2021 – the highest number of checks completed during a single month in the agency’s recorded history – as one expert says the staggering figure indicates a “growing” demand for firearms from the American public.
Gun Sales Continue to Climb, New Record Monthly NICS Numbers Licensed gun dealers in the first month of 2021 continued to observe skyrocketing firearms sales as suggested by a record jump in federal firearm background checks. The unadjusted figures of 4,288,240 checks conducted through the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System in January 2021 is a tremendous 61.7 percent jump from the unadjusted FBI NICS figure of 2,652,263 logged in January 2020. However, when the data is adjusted by the National Shooting Sports Foundation by removing figures for gun permit checks and rechecks by states which use NICS for that purpose, the number of checks stands at 2,052,130 which is an even higher 75.2 percent increase compared to the January 2020 NSSF-adjusted NICS figure of 1,171,478.
