You know Your Survival Guy wants you to get your gun and your training now. You never know when politicians will seek to infringe on your constitutionally protected rights. Using them is the best way to protect them. In a report from the FBI, you can see just how important the right to bear arms is to Americans. Each month for the last 47 months, Americans have purchased over one million guns. The Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard reports:

Life Comes at You Fast. Slow It Down with My Friday Email. It’s Free.

Americans celebrated their Second Amendment rights over 1 million times in June, the 47th straight month of record-setting gun sales.

According to the FBI, background checks for gun purchases passed 1 million last month.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the industry representative, said that of 2,152,187 background checks last month, 1,110,696 were likely for gun purchases and transfers, the rest being for carry and other security permits.

“June marks the 47th month in a row that has exceeded 1 million adjusted background checks in a single month,” said the group.

“Happy Independence Day,” cheered NSSF spokesman Mark Oliva.

“Americans have another million reasons to celebrate this Independence Day. More than 1.1 million times in June, Americans exercised their Second Amendment rights to lawfully purchase a firearm. That extends the streak to 47 continuous months that background checks for firearm purchases have exceeded a million. This is notable because these figures buck the demands by gun control politicians to surrender rights. Americans choose differently. They choose, by the millions, to keep and bear arms. They are keeping alive the vision of our Founding Fathers that this would be a nation that celebrates the ethos of a responsibly armed citizenry,” he added.

Action Line: Americans know that a good firearm and the training to use it can make all the difference to their survival. Get your gun and your training now. And click here to subscribe to my free monthly Survive & Thrive letter and become a Survivor.
