25 Million Guns: Firearms Sales Smash Records Again

Even as the sales of firearms have begun to slow in recent months, according to the latest data U.S. gun sales in the first seven months of 2021 were 13 percent higher than over the same period last year – which also blew away all previous records.

With some 25.1 million firearms sold between January 1 and July 31, it was the largest seven months of the year figure since sales were first recorded in 1998.

China is deeply saddened.

I’d love to discuss it with them.

[Truthoverpower]

This entire country is an ARMED FORTRESS

made up of millions of MILITIAS

GOOD LUCK COMMIES.

TRY US

This report is wrong. The number of guns sold between January 1 and July 31 is not 25 million.

It is about 11 million, as noted later in the article.

25 million is probably the number of background Checks by NICS, more than half of which are for carry permits and permit rechecks.

sheesh we need a two for one sale promotion we will hit 25 million!

[jonascord]

11,000,000 is MUCH better than 25,000,000!

Say at least 1/2 are Leftists who are afraid to open the box more than once, in a year or so there are going to be a lot of "never fired" guns on the market, for bargain prices.

Been telling all the Democrats I know who come to me for expert opinions that they come pre-loaded, and not to check, or they may go off accidentally. BWAHAHAHAHA!

HeH!

Really, if the commies want to get rid of guns, they should shut the hell up and stop running for office. There’s a direction, probably exponential correlation between communists in the public sphere and gun sales.

[Boogieman]

Lol, here I was still quoting “300 million guns” figure from a couple years ago. Thanks for the update!

[Big Red Badger]

I have no claim to absolute accuracy for that figure, but I have seen numbers between 400 to 500, figured I'd split the difference.

How about 3d printer, drill press, router and milling machine sales? Asking for a friend.

[marktwain]

I have no claim to absolute accuracy for that figure, but I have seen numbers between 400 to 500, figured I'd split the difference.

It is a pretty good estimate. At the end of July, I put the figure at 475 million privately owned guns in the United States.

[Recompennation]

The left’s hard push back is still registering short and the dummies don’t get it.
You have the ghost guns of every level of sophistication, as obimmer said ‘ a lot of smart people’s’, thens you got a dismal participation in the hang yourselves tellin on the gun sales / gifts, and lastly just the plain old don’ts abides by any laws theftimg Chicago style gun control workings.

[Old Grumpy]

My brother used to say Obama was the best gun salesman in the country, but it sounds like the title should now go to the Demented Old Pedophile.

[Big Red Badger]

Totally Agree!

I love Your Tag Line!

[cgbg]

Every time they talk about “mandatory vaccinations” folks go out and buy every gun they can find...

I've seen numbers all over the map - 430-something, 440-something. Assuming it's somewhere betwixt 400-500 works for me.
