The gun sales numbers for June just dropped and they are crazy. Story coming soon.
June Gun Sales Set New Record as Retailers Warn of Reduced Stock from Unprecedented Demand https://freebeacon.com/issues/record-setting-gun-sales-could-leave-stores-dry/
June's numbers are incredible. Gun sales usually decline to low points in the summer months then climb back in the fall/winter. June 2020 was completely different. It appears to be the second-highest gun sales month on record. Second only to March 2020. https://freebeacon.com/issues/record-setting-gun-sales-could-leave-stores-dry/
There have now been 8.3 million gun sales in the United States since the beginning of March. That's a record-setting pace that retailers expect will keep up through the end of the year. https://freebeacon.com/issues/record-setting-gun-sales-could-leave-stores-dry/
Retailers are struggling to keep guns and ammo in stock. Distributors aren't able to fill orders. Wex Gunworks in Florida is operating at 20% stock. "We have been doing it since the late 70s and have never seen literally no supply available," owner Brandon Wexler told me.
"Obama was the best gun sales in the country they claimed," Wexler said. "No, Covid19 is." https://freebeacon.com/issues/record-setting-gun-sales-could-leave-stores-dry/
Jurgen Brauer, chief economist for Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting, said the huge gun sales spike in the first week of June was "presumably related to the aftermath of the killing of Mr. George Floyd." https://freebeacon.com/issues/record-setting-gun-sales-could-leave-stores-dry/
