Meanwhile, gun sales and gun ownership continue to skyrocket while violent crime continues to fall nationwide. More guns = less crime. We have decades of evidence to support this. Recent data reveals a notable increase in firearm purchases by law-abiding Americans in 2023. This trend coincides with the Biden administration’s handling of the southern border and the rising crime rates in Democrat-controlled metropolitan areas, attributed to failed social justice reforms.
If you’re the government then I’m buying 10 more guns to protect myself from you since you want to murder children – Ryan Anthony Scott
A growing sense of unease is palpable among Americans who witness what they perceive as an influx of individuals across the southern border. Some urban centers, under Democratic leadership, are becoming synonymous with scenes reminiscent of the violent video game ‘Grand Theft Auto.’ Illegal gun owners are the problem. These gun owners, coincidentally, are usually Democrats or vote Democrat.
The realization that scaled-down police forces, a consequence of the Democrats’ push to ‘defund the police,’ may not provide adequate protection in times of need is prompting citizens to turn to the rights bestowed upon them by the Founding Fathers, particularly the Second Amendment.
It's worth noting that the percentage of households that have a gun actually went down slightly over that time. The increase in guns comes somewhat from our increase in population but mostly from people who are already gun owners buying more guns. pic.twitter.com/uOQu9dYSGL

The National Shooting Sports Foundation’s latest data underscores this shift in sentiment, reporting nearly 16 million gun sales in 2023, with December alone witnessing over 1.7 million transactions. Notably, this continues a 53-month-long trend of consumers purchasing over a million firearms each month.
Mark Oliva, Director of Public Affairs at the National Shooting Sports Foundation, commented on the surge in gun purchases: “Americans have once again demonstrated their desire to exercise their Second Amendment rights by the millions. These figures mirror the mood of Americans, emphasizing the importance law-abiding citizens place on personal safety and freedoms, despite the Biden-Harris administration’s comprehensive efforts to restrict and potentially eliminate these rights.”
Here's the thing. The NRA is there to make billions for gun manufacturers, so what it does is lobby the government to shoot down any gun control measures so that people have a much easier time buying guns.

In tandem with this surge, the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System recorded 29,854,186 checks at the end of 2023, surpassing the previous year’s figure of 28,904,713.
Former President Trump’s assertion last year that the U.S. is a “third-world hellhole” run by “pervert criminals and thugs” resonates with those who perceive a deterioration of rights and liberties. Trump’s statement highlighted concerns about millions of illegal aliens entering the country, framing it as an invasion with profound consequences for the nation’s fabric.

Trump emphasized the crucial role of lawful firearm possession as a deterrent against criminals, particularly as Democrats are accused of undermining common-sense law and order, leading to chaos both at the southern border and in progressive metropolitan areas facing internal strife.
The sentiment is encapsulated in a quote from Robert A. Heinlein: “An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.” This quote underscores the belief that responsible firearm ownership can contribute to a safer and more orderly society.

The surge in firearm purchases among law-abiding Americans in 2023 reflects a broader concern about the state of the nation, fueled by perceived challenges at the southern border and rising crime rates in certain metropolitan areas. The data suggests a growing reliance on the Second Amendment as citizens seek to safeguard their personal safety and liberties amidst evolving societal dynamics. Most no longer trust the government to defend them. With Soros prosecutors all over the nation allowing crime to skyrocket, it is now up to citizens to defend themselves from violent criminals.
Major Points Discussed:
- Data from the National Shooting Sports Foundation reveals a significant increase in firearm purchases among law-abiding Americans in 2023.
- Concerns arise as the Biden administration faces criticism for its handling of the southern border, with some viewing it as an invasion.
- Democrat-controlled metropolitan areas experience a surge in violent crime, attributed to failed social justice reforms, prompting citizens to seek alternatives to diminished police forces.
- Americans, realizing the limitations of defunded police, turn to the Second Amendment for personal safety, evident in the 53-month trend of over a million monthly firearm purchases.
- Former President Trump’s assertion about the U.S. turning into a “third-world hellhole” resonates, as citizens express concerns about their rights and liberties being compromised.

This is why everyone needs to start buying more guns and learning how to use them properly. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. – Nessa Maye
- Your point is well taken, but notice two things: 1) the government keeps trying to take as many of the guns away as possible, and 2) people keep buying more and more guns and ammo. One trend is going to win out, and I’m betting I know which one it is. – TheWhiteRunestone
