Biden’s COVID Relief Checks Help Spur Another Record Month of AR-15 Sales
By: Jonathan Davis
Americans using Biden’s $1,400.00 to buy an AR-15 or a like weapon are indeed making great use of their stimulus money. We will not give up our guns. We will not comply with any Biden regime executive orders. We will fight them all with court challenges. Few if any gun owners are going to give up, turn in, or sell back their guns. Biden has simply replaced Obama as the greatest gun sales man of all time. The more Biden and his regime open their pie holes to advocate gun grabbing, the more guns get sold. Open pie holes, flood the streets with more new guns. We will never voluntarily give up 2A rights and the number of 2A sanctuary states, counties, towns will grow exponentially.

There are a lot of ironies when it comes to increased Democrat calls for more gun control — which always happens when they are in power — and corresponding record increases in gun sales, but this one might just be the granddaddy of them all.
As reported by “Washington Secrets” columnist Paul Bedard, gun sales hit another record in February as Joe Biden and congressional Democrats once again ramped up calls for new gun control measures, politically exploiting, as they always do, a series of tragic mass shootings.
Bedard writes:
For the second time in three months, the FBI broke its record for gun sales, concealed carry, and other firearms background checks in March.
The National Instant Criminal Background Check System conducted 4,691,738 checks, an all-time high. It broke the record set in January of 4,317,804.
Gun sales generally track with the NICS numbers, though the FBI doesn’t make public how many were for gun purchases. Gun industry groups typically release those numbers after the FBI.
However, the numbers show that sales also likely hit a record high, a trend confirmed by sellers.
But this gets better — or worse, depending on your Second Amendment perspective.
Firearms groups note that Biden’s threat to use executive authority (if he, in fact, actually has the power to do so) to expand background checks and even ban the sale of semi-auto rifles like popular AR-15 models are what is driving the new sales (and take note, many gun calibers were already in short supply).
Here’s the irony: Gun sellers say that many buyers are using their $1,400 COVID stimulus checks to buy new firearms, and in particular, AR-15s.
Like we said, the ultimate irony.
“Our sales are already well ahead of last March,” said Justin Anderson, the marketing director of Charlotte, North Carolina’s Hyatt Guns, who frequently updates Bedard regarding gun sales and gun trends.
“There are obvious factors at play here: Biden’s gun rhetoric being No. 1, as well as two mass shootings that were heavily covered in the media. However, we also saw a lot of transactions of around $1,400 starting on March 17, so it appears many people are using their stimulus money to buy guns,” Anderson added.
He then said: “I think it’s ironic that a Democrat Party-led Congress and a Democrat president passed legislation to give people financial relief, and a significant amount is being spent on gun purchases, many of which are for AR-15s!”
Yep. So do we.
As for gun sales, they have been setting records for the past year as Democrat-run cities devolved into chaos and mayhem, with looting and riots that quickly escalated well beyond the George Floyd incident that was exploited by Black Lives Matter and Antifa, both groups of which also pushed a “Defund the Police” initiative that actually took hold in some cities.
As for Biden’s executive actions on guns, it’s not at all clear that they’ll pass constitutional muster and are likely going to be challenged in court no sooner than they drop. He no doubt knows this so maybe he’s just going to issue them and see where the legal chips fall.
Meantime, many Americans appear to be making good use of their COVID relief money.

If you don't think that people used the first stim payments under Trump to purchase guns, they you really should lay off of the Kool Aid.
well i know where one of those gun purchases for march was , a 2 shot derringer .
as for the other stimmies, it was spent on powder , primers and projectiles before the ammo shortage hit. and i can make that all back in a weeks work at the reloading press.
As for the biden bucks , im waiting to see what to spend that on since im taking the year off.
Every time Jesus reincarnates and he has done so 1000s of times he meets an untimely end. The odds this time are it will be by an AR-15.
HA! speculation at best, define many .. as of April 1 roughly 130 million Americans had received their stimulus check ..
Gun sales always increase when the 2nd amendment is seen as 'threatened' .. the same song and dance starts up in DC after every mass shooting - I am a gun owner, support expanded background checks .. I believe that training and education is a must [my sons started shooting trap and skeet at 9 -- their education continues, my youngest can now purchase a pistol - he knows that he will take a course, he respects my thoughts on the subject] ... yet the reality is / odds are, that will never be a requirement to purchase a firearm ... 'red flag' laws make me cringe, only in that who decides ones mental situation ...? 'we' cannot run around taking individuals guns based on knee jerk reaction [do not like that term, but did not know what else to use] ........................ Once again there will be a zillion different criteria's (?) .. as 'we the people' are so divided, government no longer knows the meaning of compromise ...and... our elected officials are somewhat bought and paid for by special interest .. until 'government' once again opens mental health facilities, and individuals can be committed against their will ... 'red flag' laws are moot...
A Judge.
Again, a Judge decides on temporary and final confiscations based on their states 'different criteria'.
Yet when asked, 'we the people' insist the 'we' are FOR compromise. It's up to us to elect representatives that figure out a way to get that done.
As long as studies find that suicides are reduced by an appreciable amount [7.5% in Indiana] red flag laws are NOT moot. It gives families time to get their loved one into treatment and keeps guns out of the hands of violent offenders of domestic violence.
