Shall Not Be Infringed: FBI Reports that Record Numbers of Americans Bought Firearms in March
Are record numbers of Americans buying firearms?
In the FBI’s “NICS Firearm Checks: Month/Year”, which recorded the number of firearms background checks conducted via NICS from November 1998 to March 31, 2020, 3,740,688 firearms went through the National Instant Background Check system in March 2020.
Twitter user Zak Slaybak commented “Almost 1% of the US population bought their first gun last month:https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/nics_firearm_checks_-_month_year.pdf/view.”

It should be noted that these figures do not represent the total number of firearms sold, but rather the number of transactions that went through the NICS system.
Despite media misconceptions about background check being a well-established part of gun control policy, the NICS system has only been in place since 1998.
Many no compromise gun organizations argue it’s a first step towards establishing a national gun database.
Nevertheless, gun controllers have had to break a sweat to pass gun control.
On top of that, Americans still have strong pro-gun instincts when it comes to their views on self-defense and will buy firearms even when there are barriers to entry.
In a time when many cities and state government are conducting anarcho-tyrannical social experiments by letting out inmates with established criminal records, Americans are getting strapped.
Police cannot be relied upon, so citizens have to take matters into their hands when it comes to providing their own defense.
On July 30, 2020, the National Association for Gun Rights raised awareness about gun control legislation introduced by Virginia Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine.
Under the “Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act of 2020”, the federal government would implement a series of gun control measures that were recently enacted in the state of Virginia. In their press release, NAGR argued that this plan would “strip law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment and due process rights.”
At its core, the “Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act of 2020” will effectively nationalize Virginia’s new gun control laws. This will include the state’s “red flag” gun confiscation order, a one-handgun-a-month law, and a ban on private gun transactions between lawful gun owners. Virginia’s gun grabs kicked off protests from tens of thousands of gun owners at the state capitol in Richmond, Virginia early in 2020. NAGR noted that “Senators Kaine and Warner want to impose them on the rest of the nation.”
“Just when law-abiding citizens are purchasing firearms in record numbers to protect themselves and their families, tone-deaf Democrats are squealing for more gun control,” declared Dudley Brown, President of the National Association for Gun Rights.
Brown announced that his staff is already working to mobilize more than 4.5 million National Association for Gun Rights members and supporters to reach out to Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell and the Republican-controlled Senate to oppose this gun control scheme and all other gun grabs.
“With police stations literally on fire and criminals taking over our streets, it should be clear that citizens are responsible for defending ourselves,” remarked Brown. “Gun control is never a good idea and pushing it right now is sheer insanity.”
