Gun Sales Soar 80% In May Amid Race Riots, Government Lockdowns

[bigwave]

Gun sales soared in May, especially after the Memorial Day death of George Floyd, which has prompted riots and looting in dozens of cities across the U.S.

 

“You couldn’t even keep up with it. That’s how crazy it was,” Joe Hawk, owner of Guns & Roses in New Jersey, told The Washington Times. “After Memorial Day, it spiked again. It just went crazy again.”

Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting, a private research firm, estimated that more than 1.7 million guns were sold in May, an 80% jump from May 2019, The Times said.

 

The rise in May followed another surge in April, which rose 71.3% over April 2019, with another 1.7 million firearms purchased. March also saw soaring numbers, 2,583,238 firearms sold — 85.3 percent more than the previous year, according to data released Small Arms Analytics and Forecasting.

Gun checks have also soaring. More than 3 million checks were run through the FBI’s national instant check system in May, a record and 32% above from May 2019.

 

“Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting reported that handgun sales likely clocked in at about 1 million in May, a 94% increase from last year, and the 535,000 long gun sales marked an increase of about 66%,”

said The Times.
