Gun sales across the United States reached over 1 million for 49 consecutive months, according to new data even as the Biden administration tries to crack down on firearms.
The FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System showed just over 2 million federal background checks occurred in August 2023. When the figure was adjusted by the National Shooting Sports Foundation to more accurately reflect likely retail firearms sales, that number decreased to nearly 1.12 million checks last month, according to Guns.com.
"This has happened every month for more than four years continuously," Mark Oliva, the foundation's public affairs officer, said.

As if they’re going to go into the Hood and take those guns, yeah right.
Hundreds of millions of guns, I’ll bet there’s more than guns too.
Sounds like the feds aren’t the only ones building up “arsenals”.
They come with the option of 5 round, but that's for some country that doesn't allow 6+ rounds. Or some such.
As long as our government and our public school systems are siding with the influence of Satan..... America needs to wake up, stand up, arm up and FIGHT IT!!
They couldn’t collect all of them even if the military and police were on their side, which they’re not!
The Obama surge in sales continues.
This is one reason I love America.
They will only collect them from law-abiding white people.
Went into a “ranch store” the other day to buy a new set of binos. Had to wait in line for quite a while to pay for them. Gun buyers from every demographic were ahead of me. Gun sales are “brisk” and with the Brandon administration in charge and out of control, everyone is seeing a need to own firearms. I think the far-left turd rollers need to back off on their attacks on the Bill of Rights. Younger Americans know their rights better than any of the Feral “jugheads” in black robes do. Most of the Feral “judges” came here from third world countries and haven’t a clue. Fine for TV court shows about a neighbor’s dog defecating on your porch but they aren’t ready for primetime yet.
Guns and ammo sales, the one part of the otherwise dismal Biden economy that is booming! (pun intended).
Best gun salesmen for the last fifty five years has been the anti-gun press and anti-gun politicians.They always promised that they “ONLY wanted to register and ban handguns! Rifles would not be affected!” till they saw an opportunity to grab them up.
Very few people wanted an AR-15 or AK-47-s till the anti-gun press and politicians made a grab for them in 1984. Suddenly everyone who looked down their noses at those rifles suddenly wanted one or two or three!
The much vaunted Clinton Ban did nothing but ban certain cosmetics on the rifles. The same bowdlerized rifles, under new names were still sold all through the “ban”.
If they can get any type of ban on such rifles they will be back for their original target, HANDGUNS.
Sales would be higher if more inventory was available. I get update emails in reference to waiting lists.
