| FBI Fielded More Background Checks For Gun Buyers In June Than Ever Before |
| 2020-07-15 |
| [Daily Caller] The FBI ran nearly 8 million background checks for gun purchases from March to June, the Wall Street Journal reported. Background checks for firearm purchases in June reached 7.8 million, up 136% from last year. Checks for civilians pursuing a license to carry were the highest recorded in the last 20 years, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the WSJ reported. "With the pandemic, it’s driven more by fear for personal safety; it’s people who haven’t been interested in the past," Jacquelyn Clark, Bristlecone Shooting, Training, Retail Center and Gun Range co-owner, told the WSJ. |

| #5 I suspect a media driven fear of a possible Biden win in November may be feeding the buying frenzy. The current Antifa/BLM riots and general lawlessness — and the recent attempts to expand them to the suburbs and smaller towns — are enough to get people to gun shops now. I’ve seen several stories in recent weeks about Liberals for the first time in their lives feeling the need to buy a gun for protection, and discovering the process isn’t anything like it’s been described. I suspect concerns about Mr. Biden will ramp up in October. |

| #3 I account for one of those in June and one in July. Here in NH the paperwork has been taking 2-3 days, assuming you could find what you wanted. Filled out the papers yesterday for my wives M&P shield (b'day present) and they said 24 to 36 hours......called before I got home to say it was all done. I like NH. |

| #2 You all keep ignoring that we are politically in 1860 redux. The socialists want to keep their slaves, by any means necessary. |

| #1 A friend and I visited a long established (52 year) retailer and wholesaler near Columbus, GA. yesterday. The parking lot was full and the store was packed with shoppers waiting in line to process their purchases. The large rack inventory was quite low. The owner and sales staff of six looked haggard and bewildered. I suspect a media driven fear of a possible Biden win in November may be feeding the buying frenzy. |
