that shattered anything even close by 800,000

 

[PappyM3]

And by a significant margin too!

It's good more people are buying, hopefully by people that will learn or have learned the value of the 2A and fully support the 2A.

Check the year-by-year numbers from 1999 to 2005. In each of those years, the yearly numbers were less than the amount of 4473s in this past Q1 of 2020.

 

[one-eyed Jack]

you can add the state POCs? Jack.

So much for all the complaining about the gun sales slump under Trump.

 

[E.Stoner]

Goodbye Trump-slump, say hello to the Rona-roll!

 

[EJFudd]

I needed some good news today!

 

[92G]

To some extent the 4473 #’s need to be normalized to population, otherwise it’s somewhat meaningless to see them increasing year to year.

 

[76Too]

I wonder how many bullets were sold? I kinda wish they could put a number on that.

 

[ReluctantDecoy]

What happened in Dec 2015 for that spike?

Edited: Nevermind... Probably San Bernardino.

This could explain the non-stop and ever increasing RKBA psychosis displayed by the left. With that many privately owned firearms, the majority of the states not under leftist control can simply say, no. No more infringement.

 

[mothybee]

Probably spiked by lefties trying to protect themselves from you people..............................ok......us people.

 

[Lowbird]

Leftists on Twitter are gonna go apoplectic.
Can. Not. Wait.

That's only if they're already over trying to panic buy guns now.

Another piece of Obamas legacy gets erased under Trumps presidency!

Channel 10 just had a blurb about the spike in gun sales.
They said NH is reporting a 60% increase in gun sales over March of 2019, many being first time buyers.

 

[SKumar]

I wonder how many lefties were denied because of their background check?

I wonder how many Mass lefties tried to buy a gun and found out what it actually takes to get an LTC.

 

[40 caliber]

I am guilty,,, I added to those background checks last month

 

[headednorth]

many being first time buyers.

how would they know that?

would love to be a fly on the wall for that

 

[Parker Duofold]

I contributed!

 

[Zappa]

how would they know that?

It's pretty easy to spot a rookie in a gun shop by the questions they ask, and many will come right out and say it's their first time.

I contributed!

I haven't yet, but expect to when my "Angry Joe AR-14" lower comes in.

 

[northny]

I didn’t contribute. But my three 80% ers were cash and carry.

 

[headednorth]

Ah ok. I assumed it was some sort of official stat

 

[01906]

I wonder how many Mass lefties tried to buy a gun and found out what it actually takes to get an LTC.

Yeah, I would like to hear some first-hand encounters. That happened at a shop. To see how often that actually happened. And what their reply was. When they were told they can not purchase or hold anything without a license.

 

[Zappa]

Got some better numbers now, 2.58 million guns sold in March.

Handguns outsold long guns nearly 2 to 1

Since I've been in Tennessee I've added 4 long guns, 1 shotgun, and a handgun to the safe. My daughter bought a shotgun. We bought Lady Radtekk a handgun. My family is holding up its end.

 

[MaverickNH]

Of course, if crime increases, more guns will be blamed rather than the 34 states that freed jailed inmates. Even if crime increases in those stares correlated to prisoner release, lax gun laws in the other states would be blamed.

Better to have more guns and ammo and be blamed...
