Title: Firearm sales stay strong, Hawaii stays flaccid
Post by: robtmc on March 04, 2022, 06:13:54 PM: "Texas, Florida, California and Pennsylvania all saw more than 1 million gun sales last year. The state with the fewest was Hawaii, with just 33"

33 million sold in Hawaii last year? That would seem to be the entire inventory of our few shops? Maybe 33 total, considering rapback and all.
I refuse to participate in that tyrannical privacy rape. More worried about ammo than more toys.

Just a thought. I don't know where they got their numbers. Most of those reports go off of NICS background checks.

Still, something smells. Of course, Fake news is the norm these days.

Expect some liberal (?) news feed to parrot this as a triumph......

Where this data comes from:

Data sources are cited throughout the report, and include: FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System,
NICS Firearm Checks, Month/Year by State, U.S. Census Bureau population by single year of age, Guns to Carry,
Giffords Law Center, Centers for Disease Control, FBI UCR Crime Reports, The Violence Project, K-12 School Shooting
Database from the Center for Homeland Defense and Security at Naval Postgraduate School, and the Washington Post.

Hawaii’s total was the lowest, but this is likely due in part to how state officials there report firearm background checks to the FBI.

Between my selling and my buying last year, we account for the other 94%
