August gun sales were up 15% thanks to Democrats’ totalitarian demands for mandatory buybacks. Those who bought guns were Americans seeking self-protection and with deep concerns that President Donald Trump is on board with gun control.
According to the Washington Examiner, the overall number of background checks recorded in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System surged 15.5%. Those numbers were courtesy of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF). That figure includes background checks done for security, concealed carry permits, and gun sales and was the highest August number ever recorded.
Adjusted for sales, the NSSF industry group said that August FBI background checks for sales surged 15.2% over August 2018. The adjusted August number was second only to August 2016 during the heated presidential election. It’s become evident that gun control authoritarians are the best gun salespeople on the planet.
Trump’s rhetoric on guns and his apparent desire to curb the gun rights of innocent people is likely also playing a role in the increase in gun sales. The new surge came in the wake of heightened pressure for gun control, sales bans on “military-style rifles,” limits on ammo, and a slew of democrats saying they will take guns at the end of a gun, but force.
Justin Anderson, the marketing director for Hyatt Guns in Charlotte, North Carolina, one of the nation’s largest sellers, said fears of a liberal gun grab and a drive for self-protection are pushing sales higher.
“As we’ve seen in the past, the recent publicizing of mass shootings has fueled people’s concerns about their personal safety. We are seeing many first-time gun buyers, and our concealed carry classes are booking up quickly,” said Anderson.
“Political figures talking about gun bans and confiscation is also starting to figure into sales. We’ve seen a slight uptick in the sale of tactical rifles as a result,” he added. –Washington Examiner
Democrats continue to prove themselves to be the best people to drive up gun sales. They are literally making their goal of an enslaved populace harder by spewing propaganda seconds after a mass shooting. It looks like innocent people don’t like being told they aren’t allowed to protect themselves and considering the second amendment was written to protect Americans from tyrants, it makes sense that democrats want it gone, while free people stock up.
Dang, I’m sure glad those democrats are motivating people to arm up. Now those republicans sure aren’t off the hook for committing treason though. Orange head is republican ain’t he? Mr. Red Flag!
As we here know they’re all in the same treason club.
Keep buying GUNS, GUNS, GUNS, and more GUNS!
AND AMMO AMMO AND MORE AMMO!!!!
Absofckenlutly!!
I can teach a 10 year old to make a gun
I can also teach a 10 year old how to reload
But if primers , powder or projectiles were to become scarce or dare I say regulated
You dam sure better have the good stuff stashed where the pinkos can’t find it
And a lot of it … think of it as a safety net
You want to land in as much of it as possible
Like a ball pit full of sorted calibers
“It’s become evident that gun control authoritarians are the best gun salespeople on the planet.”
Obummer was proof of that.
Sales skyrocketed during his terms as well.
“Political figures talking about gun bans and confiscation is also starting to figure into sales. We’ve seen a slight uptick in the sale of tactical rifles as a result,” he added.”
I’m guessin’ Chump’s statement about “… confiscate first, then due process…” has something to do with it.
Those are what’s only on the books. We are armed to the teeth in this country, and most of us will not go gently into that good night.
