ICYMI: 2016 Proved To Be The Biggest Year In History For Gun Sales

I bet the antis still don't understand WHY.

More gun-related FBI background checks were done in 2016 than in any other year in history after November set yet another record for gun sales in the United States.

So far this year, the FBI has processed 24,767,514 checks through its National Instant Criminal Background Check System, known as NICS, which puts 2016 more than 160,000 checks above the yearly record set in 2015. The record comes after November 2016 set its own monthly record with 2,561,281 checks, nearly 320,000 more than the previous record set last November. This gun sales spike has lasted for over a year and resulted in monthly records for 19 straight months.

I suspect that was in response to the possibility Hillary would be elected and all her anti-gun rhetoric. I wonder if gun sales will drop off significantly next year since Trump won.

California also probably contributed in a big way since we were up against new bans.

I haven't purchased a single weapon in the last two years...

They'd have been better off leaving well enough alone with the gun laws - there would be less guns on the street. Unintended consequences, the dumbasses.

12 of those were mine, lol ... sold some too though.

No surprise!

Hopefully some liberals have realized that LEO's can't get to their house in two seconds, but they've surmised that they can pop a bad guy trying to invade their house in, say, 30 seconds (time to key in the safe code, chamber the weapon, and identify the target).

Better to have to clean the floors than to live with a memory of your wife and kids being assaulted.

I guess that means we're going to have a record amount of blood in the streets this next year! Aaahhhhh!
