(6,185 posts)Month after month record high NICS checks.
Firearm manufacturing facilities going to 3 shifts a day, expanding and building new plants in gun friendly states and bringing their jobs and tax dollars with them.
Along with the crowds waiting for an open lane at pretty much every shooting range in the country.
Personally, my concealed carry classes have doubled in size over the last 6 months and I'm doing three 16 hour (Illinois requirement) this month alone. Once whole class is nothing but 12 employees from an Apple Store! So even the tech nerds are getting into it.
Lots of the students are new shooters, 40% are women and will be buying their first gun after a few classes, so they can make a better, informed decision on what's right for them.
As more people get into the sport and start shooting, the anti message is being laughed at more and more.
The anti BS is quickly being reduced to a handful of whiners throwing dust in the air and trying desperately to get attention and some credibility. And failing miserably at it.
