This continued record pace of firearm sales clearly shows that law-abiding Americans are turning out by the millions to exercise their right to keep and bear arms. Recently, NSSF estimates determined that almost 5 million citizens bought guns for the first time this year. Of those millions, further surveys indicated that roughly 40% are women and 58% of all purchases are by black Americans. Firearms retailers also noted that sales of firearms had nearly doubled, and ammunition sales were up 139% from 2019.
