What seen by reading those two articles, seems firearms are pretty good idea to many people. To me and likely many others it's not really all about firearms. It's also about some people "Voting with their pocket books" to voice their opinions and views of Our 2nd Amendment as well to some who are blinded by our foundations. In some ways it's like another election? However, even as in how high those numbers are in reality, some may still be too blind to see what they actually mean? - More like in admitting it?

All I can say is, I am terribly disappointed that Florida is so low on the list

I have to think that those Illinois numbers are flawed.
If they are going by legal purchases they must be done by existing firearm owners and I highly doubt they are buying that many.
New purchasers have to get their FOID card first and the Illinois State Police are according to "Governor Flintstone"
there has been a tremendous backlog in FOID and CCL applications that they are so far behind that the Illinois Rifle Association has a lawsuit trying to speed up the processing of these permits.
Most people have been waiting six months just to renew.
Mine is due in Sept. and I can't even renew early.

Am not really surprised. Many "rotational transplants" getting used to new surroundings may be why?
People from NYC and Canada relocated there too, not used to some freedoms yet may explain some of it?

Or perhaps the market is already saturated? I for one had very little room in the vault....before the boating accident.
Yah, could be? Boat here still has a cracked hull at waterline from an incident. So, there's that?Or perhaps the market is already saturated? I for one had very little room in the vault....before the boating accident.
Likely are. Usually, just ballpark numbers for an idea is about best answer found most times.
There's not many absolutes in life, unless really young, inexperienced and completely naive.

More likely guns being sold because of people having to live in proximity of Chicago.Illinois had one million plus sold over the second State in the list. Are they counting the guns sold on the street in Chicago

Also, in Texas, where private transactions aren't reported (the dreaded gun show loophole) it's very likely tens of thousands of transactions have transpired between private individuals in this same time frame.
