According the National Shooting Sports Foundation the federal background check system, known as NICS, has seen a 300 percent increase in firearms purchases over the past week. The demand is so high, a backlog has been created. 

"As we’ve seen in the past with other national events, our citizens often seek to exercise their Second Amendment rights during times of uncertainty," NSSF says. "According to NICS, there are delays in the system due to an astronomical volume of transactions over the last several days."

"First, they came for hand sanitizer and bleach wipes. Then it was the toilet paper. Now, its guns and ammunition," NSSF Senior vice president Larry Keane writes. "Americans are lining up at local gun shops taking stock of their safety concerns and stocking up on guns and ammunition. It’s showing that firearms continue to be a desired item and Americans are serious about providing for their safety – especially during times of uncertainty."
