From CNN:

Gun sales in January set a new record after Capitol Hill insurrection

The Capitol Hill insurrection and the inauguration of a Democratic president who campaigned on strengthening gun control measures helped the firearms industry set a January gun sales record last month, according to data released Monday.

Gun merchants sold more than 2 million firearms in January, a 75% increase over the estimated 1.2 million guns sold in January 2020, according to the National Shooting Sports Federation, a firearms industry trade group.

The FBI said it conducted a record 4.3 million background checks in January. If that pace continues, the bureau will complete more than 50 million gun-related background checks by the end of the year, shattering the current record set in 2020, according to a new report from Bespoke Investment Group.

Right….

It was the insurrectyear.

Not that gun sales have been spiking since late spring of last year.

Not Leftists letting criminals out of jail because of the COVID or eight straight months of continuous riots since the death of George Floyd.

Or maybe President Biden’s campaign to ban guns?

Nope, that has nothing to do with it.

It was the insurrection and that alone.

What can you expect?
