Gun rights advocates expect sales surge

[shanneba]

Expect a surge of gun sales, but also gun control legislation after Tuesday’s dominance by Democrats in the U.S. Congress and in various states where the power is shifting to liberal politicians.

That’s according to Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Chairman Alan Gottlieb.

The Federal Bureau of Investigations’ Firearm Background Checks statistics show October with more than 2.2 million NICS background checks across the country. That’s up from 2 million in September, but the third highest month of 2026 so far. In January and February this year, there were 2.3 million and 2.4 million respectively.

i really do want to buy a "few more", especially the soon to end, CZ 75B.....to me an incredible gun.

anyway's, i got other things to consider first and foremost.

The Democrats are already sprouting stuff about "military grade weapons" you know the NEW "assault rifle" lingo and the need to ban them, as well as magazine restrictions. I fail to understand how they fail to understand that they and their platform sell 10x more guns and ammo than the Republicans do EVEN when the Republicans loosen restrictions on items.

I’m interested in it too. Yes I’ve been a CZ fanboy lately.

They don’t understand supply and demand. Personally I think they failed that subject.

Doesn’t surprise me. It’s like me wanting a 50 round drum for one of my toys.

I order my stuff online and have it shipped to my house here in Illinois. I also picked up some this last weekend at the gun I used to go to. They had a lot in stock.

Seems like the new, and probably temporary "blue surge" is a boon for the profitability of the gun industry!
