News articles have been stating year-over-year total firearm sales have fallen from the records set during the pandemic. I've noticed prices lately are becoming more reasonable and we are seeing sales discounts reappearing for firearms (ammo often still a question). For example, today's sales email from BCA has new ARs for $349. So that's got to be a good thing for consumers after the run we saw in recent times.
Linked to some of those news articles was the FBI NICS reports. When you look at state by state monthly and annual total numbers it creates a truly interesting picture. Which are the top states for gun sales? (** probably not who you might think!)
Perennial favorite KY was smoked by IL for three years running. It seems crazy to me these 2 states are combined accounting for almost a third of the National total.
