Gun sales are through the roof and it’s easy to see why.
The year began with the Coronavirus pandemic and that was quickly followed up by the left protesting, rioting and looting.
People want to protect themselves and guns are flying off the shelves.
The Daily Caller reports:
Gun Sales In 2020 Are Absolutely Crushing Records
2020 keeps seeing gun sale records beaten month after month, with an all-time high 3.9 million NICS firearm background checks being conducted in June alone, according to FBI statistics.
So far in 2020, three months have sported over 3 million NICS background checks, more than any previous month since the FBI began recording the statistics 22 years ago in 1998. March saw 3.7 million checks, May say 3.1 million, and June 3.9 million.
The sales come amid massive unrest across the country incited by the death of George Floyd at the hands of former Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin.
This isn’t very surprising, given the circumstances, is it?

June's numbers are incredible. Gun sales usually decline to low points in the summer months then climb back in the fall/winter. June 2020 was completely different. It appears to be the second-highest gun sales month on record. Second only to March 2020. https://t.co/4bYatDi7SK

The numbers are probably going to keep going up.
