Background Checks for Gun Sales Shatter March Record

Background checks for gun sales shattered a record in March while celebrities and Parkland gun control activists pushed for more restrictions on Second Amendment rights.

The previous record for March was 2,523,265 background checks in 2016, but FBI numbers show there were 2,767,699 background checks in March 2018.

There were 19 consecutive months wherein background check records were broken during the Obama administration. That string of record months began with May 2015 and ended with November 2016. Every month a record was set regarding background checks for that particular month.

The number of background checks declined from record numbers by 500,000 in December 2016. But Breitbart News pointed out that even with the 500,000 decrease, December 2016 remained one of the top three Decembers of all time. Only December 2015 and 2012 surpassed it.

Good keep buying all you can, you will need it in the coming few years, I can see it!!!!!! They will start to ban guns or ammo or anything to stop you from getting a gun, and defending yourself... It is funny how you nut jobs follow suite with the celebrities, and politicians who have armed freaking guards to protect them, while they take our guns... That is how freaking stupid you people are...

Not a bad revenue stream either....don't think gov't (fed/state/loc) haven't been watching either. A small percentage new tax on ammo could be coming real soon!

Anything to generate revenue!
