Yes, April’s adjusted NICS totals estimating the number of firearms sold in the month are down from the 2020 and 2021 spikes, but look at the graph above and the 2022 bar compared to the totals from the Before Times. The only prior period that came close was 2013 during the post-Sandy Hook buying surge. Last month beat that total by about 13%.
That’s a huge number. Why are Americans still beating a path to their local gun stores in nearly record-breaking numbers?
My name is Travis Fletcher and I'm located in sunny Central Florida. Im a gun enthusiast that has been shooting for over 20 years. Over the years I have created multiple websites about the shooting industry.
I always look forward to meeting people who enjoy shooting and hunting as much as I do.
