Yes, gun sales have fallen from their 2020 all time highs but the last two years are nothing to sneer at either.  They are still well above any other previous years as measured by NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System) requests which most States use when someone purchases a gun (or several guns at a time which might mean UNDER reporting of guns actually sold in some time period) from an FFL (Federal Firearms License holder – generally a gun store).

Not shabby at all:

And we can just thank Democrat politicians and bureaucrats, who do NOT like civilians holding enough firepower relative to the Government, for being the best sellers of the notion that people should be exercising their Second Amendment Rights. While Biden still has a ways to go, his speech on Thursday (“Full Monty Mussolini“) and his threat to ban the politically generated phrase “assault weapons” again is just going to drive those numbers upward again.
