Amid widespread leftist rioting, looting, and violence and the threat of Grandpa Joe Biden and Officer Kamala Harris winning the White House and ordering sweeping gun control mandates, Americans have already purchased one million more guns in the first eight months of 2020 than we did all of 2019.
We're on pace to make 2020 the biggest year for firearm sales of all time.
Jurgen Brauer, the chief economist with Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting, said:
"Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting (SAAF) estimates August 2020 U.S. firearms unit sales at 1.8 million units, a year-over-year increase of 57.8% from August 2019. Likely single handgun sales (1 million) increased year-over-year by 66.0% whereas single long-gun sales (0.64 million) increased year-over-year by 48.4%. All other likely background check-related sales (0.14 million) increased year-over-year by 46.5%. This includes so-called 'multiple' sales where the exact split between handguns and long-guns cannot be determined from the data record."
Also Smith & Wesson reported this week that their sales are up 141 PERCENT year over year.
