In July 2025, U.S. gun sales fell below the one-million mark for the first time in nearly six years. This decline is attributed to several factors, including the fading fears of federal firearm bans, the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the rising cost of living. According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), firearm sales reached 978,731 in July, a significant drop from previous months. Despite this decline, gun sales traditionally dip during the summer months, and experts are optimistic that the numbers will pick up as the weather cools and demand increases. The continued demand for firearms, despite the decrease in sales, demonstrates the strength of the market. The NSSF also noted that sales remain strong in certain segments, such as concealed carry firearms and defensive gear.
