February’s a short month, but it was plenty long enough for Americans to decide to buy more than 1.3 million more firearms. Why? Because they can. Because they decided they need them shoot, hunt, compete, protect themselves and deter tyranny. And because it’s their right to do so. Unfortunately, Joe Biden was unavailable to comment.
The NSSF’s Mark Oliva tells us that . . .
Over 1.3 million background checks were conducted for sale of firearm in February, holding steady with figure from one year ago. This is demonstrative of a steady appetite for Americans from all walks of life exercising their Second Amendment right to lawful firearm ownership. Certain politicians choose twisted narratives to demonize firearm ownership instead of confront the criminal elements in our communities. Figures likes these, month-after-month, show us that Americans reject that rhetoric and are choosing to protect themselves and participate in the rich heritage of the shooting sports.
[Perhaps that’s because it’s still unpopular among the progressive governing clique to enforce the law and incarcerate dangerous and violent offenders. — Ed]
