Also, politically, it would be interesting to know which states the first-tim buyers are coming from.GrundleStiltzkin said:

With so many first time firearm purchasers how has no one conducted a poll/study to see if first time buyers' political views, both broadly and specifically about the 2nd amendment have shifted at all?GrundleStiltzkin said:https://www.nssf.org/first-time-gun-buyers-grow-to-nearly-5-million-in-2020/
NEWTOWN, Conn. – NSSF®, the trade association for the firearm industry, updated retail survey-based estimates and concluded that nearly 5 million Americans purchased a firearm for the very first time in 2020. NSSF surveyed firearm retailers which reported that 40 percent of sales were conducted to purchasers who have never previously owned a firearm.
NSSF tracks the background checks associated with the sale of a firearm based on the FBI’s National Instant Background Check System (NICS). NSSF-adjusted NICS checks for January through July 2020 is a record 12.1 million, which is up 71.7 percent from the 7.1 million NSSF-adjusted NICS January through July 2019. This equates to nearly 5 million first-time gun owners in the first seven months of 2020.
5 million newbies sounds a little high to me. Regardless, half that number would still be a big deal.
Or are a lot of these people that are buying a gun now going to vote for its confiscation in a few months

“I got rid of those long ago, no you cannot run a metal detector on my yard”Houhusky said:
People are fucking retarded if they think any of the gun confiscation laws are going to grandfather them in.WestlinnDuck said:It seems pretty clear if Biden wins and especially if the dems take the Senate that at best any AR-15 type weapon will be banned along with high capacity magazines. Toss in the dazzler's dream of allowing gun victims to sue manufacturs and retailers and you will have a defacto gun ban in the US. That's why people are buying.
