Biden's threat of gun reform driving surge in purchases
|
 [IR Press] President Joe Biden’s pledge to stem the "epidemic" of gun violence is helping drive a historic surge in gun sales across the United States, according to experts and media reports.
Industry officials said that June saw the second-highest gun sales for the month at about 1.3 million. Only June 2020 had a higher number for that month, at 2,177,586.
"To be clear June 2021 is the second-highest June on record," said Mark Oliva, spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, according to the Washington Examiner.
The US recorded more than 22 million gun sales in the first half of 2021, an increase of 15 percentage points from the same period last year.
The rise is particularly worrisome for law enforcement authorities as 2020 had already seen the highest annual gun sales since the US began keeping records.
Industry officials are attributing the surge to the threats from the Biden administration to get tough on gun ownership.
