Gun Sales Jump 100% In Colorado In One Week
Posted at 9:12 am on March 18, 2020 by Cam Edwards

We know that ammunition sale have surged by 300% for some retailers around the country, but it’s been a little difficult to get numbers on the spike in firearm sales. Larry Keane of the National Shooting Sports Foundation told Bearing Arms on Tuesday that the NICS numbers have soared over the past week or so, but didn’t have any hard numbers.

Now we’re starting to get an idea of what Larry was talking about, thanks to some new information out of Colorado.


From Fox 31 in Denver:

Gun sales in the last week have doubled in Colorado, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, the agency responsible for conducting background checks.
FOX31 and Channel 2 investigative reporter Chris Koeberl discovered more than 14,000 firearms were sold in just one week. About 7,000 guns were sold during the same time period last year.

Here in NY we only need 1 gun and 7 bullets to defend our home.

I am hoping one outcome of all this is a (positive) change in the conversation about guns in this country.
