In the last eight years, the liberal media's call for more gun control has backfired. Even as the media have echoed the narrative of the Democrats following every violent incident involving a firearm, the American people have rejected their propaganda.
Purchasing a gun requires a background check through an FBI database, so that measure is an indication of the trend for buying guns.

At the end of 2016, the last year of the 44th president, background checks were over 27 million.
