Well!
The Stimulus payments certainly worked out well for the Democrats and their gun-grabbin' proclivities!
The thrust of the article was not stimulus gun purchases, but rather the fact that the SCOTUS has finally agreed to hear another Second Amendment case, the first they have agreed to in over a decade, since DC vs. Heller.

The bit of the article I have quoted above does raise a few questions: 1) did these purchasers figure out where they are going to get ammunition to feed their guns yet? and 2) is this spike in purchases going to exacerbate the ammunition shortage even more, and drive ammo prices up even further beyond their exorbitant current level?
West Virginia just passed new legislation to make itself an even more firearms-friendly state, this time to induce manufacturers to locate there, thus providing a much needed source of firearms AND some much needed jobs for that impoverished state. One can hope that ammunition manufacturers will notice that and build new manufacturing facilities in WV, and perhaps make a dent in the current shortage of ammo in America by increasing the supply side of the supply and demand equation.

Quote:March 2021 also marked a new single-month record for the number of National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which also marked the 15th consecutive month of record-breaking background checks.
According to FBI statistics released Thursday, 4,691,738 background checks were performed in March this year, crushing the previous single-month record by more than 300,000.
The jump in background checks could be a result of gun buyers using their stimulus checks to purchase firearms.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
