You may not know it, but the latest rumor says gun sales "are down [View all]

very down".

That notion seems crazy, what with the record numbers of background checks in March, April & May.


""The April 2017 NSSF-adjusted National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) is an increase of 0.04 percent compared to the April 2016 NSSF-adjusted NICS figure of 1,111,205," the NSSF said in a release."
"Sales in the first two months of 2017 were significantly slower than the record-setting pace of 2016, but NSSF says sales in March and April have matched or exceeded that pace."

"The Federal Bureau of Investigation ran more firearms-related background checks in May 2017 than in any previous May. That’s any previous May ever, according to the data. Even more so than May 2016."


Now surely that rumor wouldn't be pushed just to further some agenda, would it?
Weird.
