Not saying.
Hmmm still looking
And 4.7 million checks in March…
" According to FBI data, the bureau conducted nearly 4.7 million background checks, breaking the record high that was just set in January, another month that was marked with violence and turmoil.
March’s background checks represent a 36% increase from February, which saw about 3.44 million checks. Additionally, nearly 1 million more background checks took place last month than in March 2020."https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2021-04-01/firearm-background-checks-soar-to-record-high-in-march
Plus, a lot of states don’t even call in the check if you have a CHP.
I did my part last month.
I cannot imagine the industry can manufacture enough to keep up with the demand.
Are there any stats that would indicate “new” gun owners, as opposed to those of us who just can’t stop buying guns?
I think the only was to determine “new” owners would to search the ATF’s gun registry/background check files.
As did I. My 3 gun purchases didn’t put a dent in that I guess. All 3 from individuals btw. All cash.
