Arizona Gun sales in state start to climb back up after January’s Trump slump

WASHINGTON – Gun sales in Arizona have started to rebound after a brief January slump that experts attribute to the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

The latest FBI background check data show that gun sales in Arizona last year peaked at 44,887 in December, before plunging to 31,366 in January. That mirrored national sales, which hit a high of 2.8 million in December before falling to just over 2 million a month later.

But sales in March had bounced back to 38,170 in Arizona and 2.4 million nationally.

I'm actually surprised that gun sales picked up that well. Everybody I know is still buying ammo because it's "cheap" again. I know I'm doing my best to do MY part. LOL

Yeah it's surprising. I wonder how many of those are first time gun owners concerned about Trump.
