The Washington Examiner reported on December 7th that in each of the previous 12 months, Americans purchased more than a million firearms.
On Black Friday last year there were nearly a quarter of a million firearms sold, and the 1.6 million sold in November 2023 was the third-highest November sales in history.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) estimated then that by the end of 2023 citizens would have added another 14+ million firearms to their arsenals.
Startlingly, in a December 11 article, Newsweek reported that an nbc news survey of gun ownership revealed that 41% of demonrats now say they live in a household where there is at least 1 firearm - up 8% in just the last 4 years. Those demonrats contributed to yet another record: more than half of all American households now have at least 1 firearm.
NSSF spokesman Mark Olivia attributes the gun purchases largely to increased crime and the fear of increased firearms regulations. "There are many communities with sustained levels of crime that have not abated. Those concerns, along with the punishing anti-gun measures by the biden-harris re-election campaign, cannot be discounted as contributing factors." Olivia says.
When Newsweek asked retired Florida State University Professor Gary Kleck about the increasing number of demonrats owning guns, he elaborated that "it may be a response to recent increases in crime rates in big cities, where demonrats claim a larger share of the population."
That is, demonrats vote in progressive districts, where progressive district attorneys emasculate criminal Laws, resulting in more criminals being allowed back on the streets, where they commit more crimes.
Progressive district attorneys have caused a doubling of gun violence in the Big Apple, and the same ideology of the liberals controlling Oakland-CA, has caused a similar tragedy on the West Coast: crime there jumped by 26% in 2023, including a 52% increase in carjacking's, according to Newsweek.
