Record gun sales!

Posted by David Hardy · 23 June 2021 06:26 PM

Nearly 40 million background checks in 2020. A check of course isn't exactly equal to a gun sale, let along a new gun sale, but it should give an idea of an enormous market. I can recall back in the 70s that guns were being produced and sold at about 3 million a year, increasing slowly to six million decades later. Those enormous sales are driving much of the ammo shortage, from what I hear.

...I heard that civilian F15 sales have just kicked into overdrive. My 11 1/2 hours solo ( 1975 ) in an Aironica Champ will serve me well here. Tally ho. Bandits at 5:00.


...What do you mean " Ordnance is extra ? "

Curio & relic FFL is for weapons over 50 years old, are any of those Peacekeeper I missiles still hanging around? I think my backyard would be a perfect place for a bunker and silo.

Wanted an F-15, but an unproductive meeting with the loan officer has me looking at a "needs work" ex-Bulgarian air force MiG-17.
