.. Gun Sales Spike, FBI Background Checks Smash Records in May Source: Quote:Gun sales and accompanying FBI background checks spiked last month, breaking records as the nation weathered the coronavirus pandemic and riots broke out in major cities over the death of George Floyd.Already this year, the FBI has recorded 15 million background checks in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, closing in on breaking last year’s record of 28 million background checks. A total of 3,091,455 checks were recorded in May, the highest May number since the system was created 22 years ago, and the third highest month on record. The highest number of checks in one month occurred in March, which recorded a record 3,740,688 checks. Meanwhile, gun sales have surged since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. April saw 1.7 million firearms purchases, a 71 percent spike from the previous April. Gun sales spiked higher in March with 2.6 million purchases, an 85.3 percent increase over the previous year, according to Small Arms Analytics and Forecasting. Protests and riots broke out in cities across the country last week over the death of George Floyd, a black man who died in police custody after a white police officer knelt on his neck for several minutes during an arrest, persisting even after Floyd passed out. During the riots, footage emerged of business owners and other civilians in several metropolitan areas protecting businesses from rioters and looters by posting outside with firearms..............continued Armed Law-Abiding American Citizens are banding together all across America to help their fellow American Citizens protect & defend themselves & their property from being looted & destroyed by the criminal elements & other opportunistic mobs hell bent on destruction.......these looters couldn't give a flyin' royal rat's ass about what happened to George Floyd....all they have in mind are rioting, mayhem, & looting. These looters don't have much to say when presented the business end of an AR-15.....like the cowards they are, they just don't want any part of Armed American Citizens....nor the weapons they are ready to use, if the looters insist on being introduced to their maker!
Looters damn near sh!t themselves when they discover the ones guarding the businesses aren't the National Guard.....sometimes they may look very much alike in their military type khakis, carrying their military style weapons, but these defenders were local Citizen Militia....& they march to the drum of a different drummer than the National Guard.......they march to the drumbeat of the United States Constitution's Second Amendment!!! ..
