Arizona gun sales hit record in 2020, driven by pandemic, protests, politics, experts say

By Calah Schlabach Cronkite News WASHINGTON — Background checks for gun purchases in Arizona hit their highest level in 2020, driven by an unprecedented convergence of a pandemic, a summer of national unrest and a presidential election, experts said. Through November, 610,911 background checks had been performed in the state, well over the 372,912 done in all of 2019, according to FBI data. The Arizona spike is part of a nationwide increase, said Kelly Drane, research director at Giffords Law Center, a gun control advocacy group. She estimated there was a nearly 90% increase in gun sales nationally from March to October this year compared to last year, with early data indicating “a substantial number of these purchases were made by new gun owners.”
