| Second Amendment: 48 Consecutive Months of One Million+ Gun Sales |
| 2023-08-03 |
| [Breitbart] National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) numbers released by the FBI at the end of July show the U.S. has enjoyed four years of one million-plus gun sales a month. The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) goes through the FBI’s figures following their release each month, and Public Affairs Manager Director Mark Oliva commented on the July 2023 numbers, saying: This is a remarkable milestone of four continuous years of over 1 million background checks for the sale of a firearm. That’s no small achievement and is indicative of the strong and sustained appetite for law-abiding Americans to take ownership of their Second Amendment rights. It also shows the resilience of the firearm and ammunition industry to meet this continued demand for high-quality firearms that today’s gun owner expects. Oliva added: This milestone was achieved in the midst of the continuous attacks by the Biden administration which has demonstrated nothing but contempt for the Second Amendment and has twisted the levers of government to impede the ability of law-abiding citizens to legally possess firearms of their choosing. Americans are sending a clear signal each and every month. The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is not up for negotiation.” The FBI data shows there were 2,015,789 background checks in July 2023, and the NSSF determined 1,023,903 of those checks were for gun purchases and/or transfers. |

| #5 I thought video games (and John Wick movies) were supposed to turn everyone into a "shoot now, ask no questions later" type. Another big tech / Hollyweird failure. |

| #4 Easier to come up with the scratch to buy a weapon than the backbone to use it. |

| #3 Given the ammo prices limited stock that I see in stores and on Ammoseek.com, likely too many NEW gun owners are not doing much more than learning basic load-n-fire skills. BTW: Saw something really out of the ordinary last week at a Wally World in KY. That store was selling RCBS equipment, dies, items and reloading various supplies. |

| #1 Hey, All you freaking deepstaters and government types. Think about that. Think about 4 years and at least 50 million more guns bought. Think about what that says for a society. Think about what gut feeling a society who is buying guns en masse is having. |
