Boom For Guns Likely To Trigger Rush On Ammo

Gun records checks, fueled by a post-Newtown boom of gun sales, hit a new high in 2013, and industry analysts expect ammunition to be the big seller this year as consumers catch up to all of those firearms purchases.

More than 21 million applications were run through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System last year, marking nearly an 8 percent increase and the 11th straight year that the number has risen.

Background checks serve as a proxy for the number of gun sales, which soared in the months immediately after the December 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings. But NICS checks plummeted in November and December compared with a year earlier, suggesting that the boom may be over.

    I don't think the increased gun sales had anything to do with Sandy Hook. It's all about government control and people trying to protect themselves from the Hitler type Obama Administration. And, it's just as bad here in Maryland.
