(<em>Photo: FBI<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">I\u2019m a big believer in the saying, \u201cWhat goes up, must come down.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>And if you\u2019ve paid any attention at all to the firearms marketplace over the past year or so, it\u2019s safe to assume that we are in the midst of a great gun boom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">That\u2019s correct.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Gun sales have been skyrocketing to record heights.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>In fact, news this week from the FBI shows that gun sales have been on the up and up for 17 consecutive months!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">That means that since May of 2015 there as been an increase in sales when compared to the same month in the previous year.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Overall, sales are up 27 percent!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For September, the FBI\u2019s National Instant Criminal Background Check System processed a total of 1,992,219 background checks, compared with 1,795,102 from Sept. 2015.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">So far this year, through nine months, there have been 19,872,694 total checks, which means we are on track to break last year\u2019s 12-month record of 23,141,970 checks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Now, it should be noted that not every background check corresponds to a firearms sale, as there are other reasons the FBI runs a NICS check. That said, it is a solid bellwether for gun sales.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But, as I began the article, what goes up, must come down.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 Sales have<\/span>\u00a0been surging up for a long while now, and maybe not this month or next month, the good times are going to stop \u2014 especially if Trump wins the election.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If Hillary wins, it might remain a seller\u2019s market for the foreseeable future due to her anti-gun agenda.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/dont-get-scammed-five-tips-for-online-gun-shopping\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-sales-skyrocketing-record-heights-now-time-sell\" title=\"Gun Sales Skyrocketing to Record Heights: Now is the Time to Sell!\">Don\u2019t Get Scammed: Five Tips for Online Gun Buying, Selling<\/a><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Since we can\u2019t predict the future, my advice is to really consider selling now if you\u2019re sitting on some unwanted, extra or antique firearms that you\u2019ve been meaning to get rid of.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Yes, now is the time to sell.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Because once the market comes back down there is going to be a flood of inventory in the marketplace.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Then, it\u2019ll be a buyer\u2019s paradise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Again, I can\u2019t tell you when it\u2019s going to happen but I can tell you that it <em>is<\/em> going to happen.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It has to.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Just think of all the new companies that have emerged over the years, all the new gun shops that have opened, all the expanding the major gun manufacturers have been doing to keep up with demand during the Obama presidency.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Eventually, either via supersaturation of product or political relief (a Trump presidency will kill the urgency to buy that black rifle today) demand will slacken and supply will be bountiful.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">So, if you want to get the most bang for your buck on those firearms, my advice is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-sales-skyrocketing-record-heights-now-time-sell\" title=\"Gun Sales Skyrocketing to Record Heights: Now is the Time to Sell!\">list<\/a> now!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Don\u2019t wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gun sales have been skyrocketing to record heights.
