America Loves Guns: Over 16 Million Sold in 2022
AWR HAWKINS
Year-end figures from the FBI show there were over 31 million National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) background checks conducted in 2022 and over 16 million guns sold.FBI figures show nearly 31.5 million NICS checks were conducted in 2022. The National Shooting Sports Foundation’s Mark Oliva noted that of those nearly 30 million background checks, 16,425,484 were for gun sales.
The 16,425,484 background checks for gun purchases make 2022 the third highest year on record of NICS checks for gun sales.
The NICS checks beyond the 16,425,484 were conducted for concealed carry permit applicants and holders in certain states.
Guns transferred or bought by concealed carry permit holders in states where permits allow individuals to forgo NICS checks at point of purchase are not included in the 16,425,484 sales figure.
No Score
Breitbart
Firearms may be possessed by people and the FBI doesn’t know who they are? Looking for the downside here.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; . . . who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.

Prom Queen packing heat, Gun Bunny?

Prom Queen has an awful lot of Raceguns!
She also has good trigger discipline.
Seems like Mr. Friesen was attempting suicide by cop. Too bad he didn’t succeed.
Anybody tracking the number of boat accidents lately?
Testify, TR! Nice “Big Stick” ya gots there.
Heat ain’t the only thing that Ms Raven Haired Princess Thang is packing. She’s also bringing some heat. Hey, doing jigsaw puzzles are theraputic. And no, I didn’t buy “those” type magazines for the articles.
Best FGS of the year! The UGA Bull Dawgs have a twofer Natty Champy, proving without a doubt that SEC Rules. Grilled Horny Toads with roasted Buckeyes served up.
Not so FGS. Funeral service today for a young lad I have mentored off and on for the last 14 years. Killed in a car accident on a dark curvy road. Got the word last night. 19 yo.
I would refer the FBI, DemocRATS, leftists/globalists and the drive-by media to the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 (FOPA).
If buying a firearm and using your concealed carry license in lieue of the instant check, you still have to fill out a 4473 and the license number is recorded on the form.Given that theoretically no records are kept of the background checks by law, this makes the purchase with a CHL, CCP or whatever your state calls it, as ‘recorded’; and traceable as any other.
Right, when I make a purchase, I fill out the form after giving my concealed permit to the sales person and leave out my SS #. the salesperson calls someone on the phone whom I think are the now weaponized atf to make sure everything is Jake.
That Teddy Roosevelt quote is one of my favorites.
So is a Winchester 30-30.
Miz Hooters-and-Heaters is looking a bit long in the tooth for “Prom Queen” title there. Reliving her ‘glory’ days?
Ain’t no downside to anyone from any level gum-it-up gubbmint not knowing who owns a firearm, or which lake the boating accident occurred on.
None. At. All.
First time I have ever seen a pic of a Model ’94 with a supressor can.
Me too.
It don’ look right. But it’s a free country (for now).
Bought one from an upstate gas station around 1968 or 69 for around 80 bucks in change.
You bought a Winchester?
A suppressor?
Or a prom queen? 😀
