Explosive Growth...

From Professor Yamane:
"As it turns out, this was just the beginning of a gun-buying spree that spiked again in the summer, after the May 25 death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers and the sometimes-violent protests that followed. Although not as high as March’s record, gun sales in June again exceeded 2 million. 
Fueled by the ongoing pandemic, protests for racial justice and a contentious presidential election campaign, gun sales remained high through the end of 2020. According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the primary firearms industry trade group in the U.S., there were 60% more background checks for firearms sales in 2020 than in 2019."
