If NICS checks are any indicator.

Guns Continue To Fly Off The Shelves In May Thanks to Hogg And Friends
June 9, 2018| by Donn Marten

Democrat sock puppet David Hogg is getting ready to embark on a 75-stop summer bus tour to register voters under the pretense of preventing school shootings but he has been far more successful as America’s greatest gun salesman.

By selecting such an unhinged and polarizing character as their public face, the left is only succeeding in getting more Americans to embrace their Second Amendment rights now that Hogg is leading the drive for federal gun confiscations.

Ever since the Fab Five from Parkland were given stardom by the media, the NRA has experienced a fundraising boom, membership is up and most importantly, gun sales are through the roof as law-abiding citizens scramble to stock up before the Democrats are able to outlaw weapons and send out the government goon squads.

May marked another big month for gun sales, the third month in a row that we have seen such numbers.

Via The Washington Free Beacon “Gun Sales Set Record Again in May”:

    The number of gun-related background checks reached an all-time high once again in May, a report posted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Monday shows.

    In May 2018, the FBI processed 2,002,992 queries through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). That’s more than any previous May in the system’s history with May 2017 holding the previous record at 1,942,677. April 2018 saw more NICS checks than any previous April. March 2018 saw more NICS checks than any previous March.

    NICS checks are considered the strongest indicator for gun sales because every gun sale made through a licensed dealer requires a NICS check and some states require the checks on used gun sales between private individuals. However, the number of NICS checks does not exactly match the number of guns sold in the United States for a number of reasons. Multiple guns can be sold during a single NICS check, most states do not require NICS checks on used sales between private individuals, and many states run NICS checks on those applying for gun-carry permits.

The numbers are HERE.

Democrats continue to bank on the ideal that exploiting their carefully groomed student activists as human shields to promote their policies is going to be what delivers that “blue wave” come November but the numbers seem to indicate that they are in for another very unhappy post-election morning.
