US gun sales in the first three months of this year have hit a record of nearly 5.5 million, with gun retailers saying what's driving purchases are the latest round of federal stimulus payments distributed to Americans, recent mass shootings and the talk of gun control.
At the current pace, total sales could slightly surpass 2020, when a record 21 million guns were sold, according to the National Sport Shooting Foundation (NSSF).
