Concerning the question why a huge investment in guns was made in October 2016......
There was a record number of guns sold in October 2016, due to the belief at the time that Clinton was going to win the presidency and her number one agenda would be gun control.
Arizona *-(Ammoland.com)-October, 2016 continued the record breaking pace to become the year with the most gun sales ever. The*2016 NICS checks*are far ahead of those for 2015, the previous record holder. In October 2016 there were 2,333,539 National Instant Checks done.* In 2015, the NICS done in October were 1,976,759.
In 2015, the total NICS checks for the year were 23,141,970 .* In 2016, through October, they were 22,206,233.* That is less than 1 million below the total for 2015, with the two biggest months in 2016 yet to happen.* Last year there were 17,584,346 by the end of October.
The private firearm stock in the United States will have increased by nearly 100 million firearms, or 30%, during the two terms of the Barack Obama presidency.
To reach that number there will need to be 7 million more NICs checks done in 2016 from 1 November to 31 December.* In 2015, 5.56 million NICS checks were done in that period.
If Hillary Clinton is elected in a week, I predict that we will exceed that number.* If Donald Trump is elected, NICS checks will drop. How much is uncertain.
The record rate of NICS checks picked back up in October, after slowing a little in August and September.
Who would have thought that President Barack Obama would be the record setting, all time champion, gun salesman?* The total NICS checks will reach over 250 million by years end.* That will be over 150 million firearms added to the private stock in the last 18 years.* Over 37% of the private firearms stock will be less than 18 years old.
