As states like Virginia prepare to drop some of the harshest anti-gun laws and bans yet, firearm and firearm-related sales marched steadily upward in April.
According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System saw 1,193,428 checks last month, marking a 1.6 percent increase compared to last year. That number is based on the NSSF’s adjusted figures that remove simple gun permit checks and rechecks.
However, it is the FBI’s numbers for increasingly anti-gun states that reveal the strongest trends.
The numbers simply don’t lie, and they tell a compelling story of law-abiding Americans in increasingly restrictive states attempting to exercise their Second Amendment rights… while they still can.
For instance, as legislators in Virginia attempt to turn it into a virtual gun desert, gun sales showed a nearly 79 percent increase in background checks from just a year ago. Despite its ranking as the 12th most populous state in the Union, Virginia came in fifth for total handgun sales and a shockingly high second for long gun sales.
