Gun Sales Fall to Six-Year Low Amid Pro-Gun Confidence in Trump

Gun Sales Fall to Six-Year Low Amid Pro-Gun Confidence in Trump
SHARE

President Donald Trump ran, in part, on being a staunch defender of the Second Amendment. While we haven’t gotten everything we could have hoped for since he took office, we’ve gotten far more than any president in my lifetime has delivered. The Second Amendment is in a much better place than before.





In his first go-around in office, gun sales seem to dip a bit in what many termed the “Trump Slump”, and we seem to be seeing the same phenomenon emerge in his second term as well.

One of the most amazing consumer streaks has ended two months short of its six-year anniversary, and confidence in President Donald Trump’s protection of the Second Amendment is getting the credit.

Beginning in August 2019, Americans have lined up to purchase over 1 million guns a month for multiple reasons, including liberal threats to the Second Amendment, political violence, and COVID-19.

But as of July, that streak charted monthly by the firearms industry trade group National Shooting Sports Foundation ended. Last month was the first in years in which FBI background checks on gun sales fell below 1 million, falling short by 21,260.

NSSF spokesman Mark Oliva said, “July’s figures of 978,731 background checks for the sale of a firearm at retail brings an end to the streak of over 1 million background checks each month that ran for nearly six years. Summer months routinely show lower background check figures than other times of the year, and we’ve watched as the background check figures came down from astronomical highs several years ago.”





It’s funny because anti-gunners keep trying to say pro-gun moves are designed to increase the gun industry’s profits, but this kind of presents the lie to that whole thing.

It doesn’t. If anything, the restoration of gun rights removes some sense of urgency in making purchases before something is banned. It’s not that people don’t value their rights anymore; they just don’t feel like they have to prioritize their gun purchases quite as high at the moment.

This is, in a way, a good thing.

And there is still a brisk business in firearm sales. This is just a one-month slump that might well have to do with the heat as much as confidence that our gun rights won’t be rolled back anytime soon in the next few years.

After all, it wasn’t a million sales in July, but it wasn’t that far below it. A one-month drop isn’t exactly industry-shattering by any stretch of the imagination.

One data point does not a trend make.

But it is actually nice not to have to worry about our gun rights at the federal level. It’s also nice to see some of the actions of the most anti-gun administration in my lifetime rolled back by the most pro-gun president.





Let’s just hope the sales numbers at least continue to be close to that million per month mark going forward, for the industry’s sake if nothing else. If this continues at this rate, it’s not the end of the world.

If it drops and continues dropping, well, then we might have a problem and will need to address it in some way.

Preferably without ramping up the assault on the Second Amendment at the federal level.

Now, if only we could stop these idiotic state laws from going into effect.


Editor’s Note: President Trump is offering an historic defense of our Second Amendment rights and right to self-defense.
