Why Americans Are Buying Up AR-15s At A Record Pace

According to new data from firearms auction site GunBroker.com, which publishes its top-selling firearms on a month-to-month basis and is compiled by the NRA’s American Hunter, the Smith & Wesson M&P 15 Sport II was the top-selling semi-automatic rifle in March. It was followed by the Ruger AR-556 and the Colt AR-15. Clearly, the AR platform continues to sell despite calls from President Joe Biden as well as Democratic lawmakers to ban firearms, which they’ve erroneously labeled as “assault rifles” and “weapons of war.”

AR-15 Sales: Why the Spike? One factor is likely, that if such a ban were to be pushed through private ownership it would likely be “grandfathered” in. There have been calls for a federal buyback program, but lawmakers have indicated those already in private hands wouldn’t be ceased and owners wouldn’t be required to take part in the buyback.

 Such a compromise was already made with the 1994 Assault Weapon Ban (AWB), whereby no newly made AR-15s could be sold to consumers, but existing ones weren’t made illegal and owners could keep the guns they already had. Given that fact, it is easy to see why ARs could be hot sellers and may remain so in the weeks and months to come.Colt, which had actually exited the civilian AR market in 2019, made a sudden about face last year as sales of firearms picked up.
