Las Vegas, NV--(Ammoland.com)- Riding a wave of firearm purchasing enthusiasm that spans demographic, political, and gender lines, GunBroker.com announced that it has sold $3 billion dollars of merchandise cumulatively since its founding in 1999.

“Gun buying and selling continues to flourish at an astonishing rate,” said Steve Urvan, the CEO of GunBroker.com, in a Las Vegas celebration co-hosted by the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s CEO and President Steve Sanetti at the annual SHOT Show. GunBroker.com sold another billion dollars of merchandise in the last 13 months.

According to Urvan, his company now handles a substantial share of all gun sales in the multi-billion dollar firearms industry, and the popularity of online auctions continues to garner off-the-charts sales growth.

Gun sales in 2013 rose as much as 150% and recreational gun ownership is also rising, spurred on by popular shows like “Duck Dynasty,” “Top Shot” on The History Channel and “3 Gun Nation” on the Sportsman Channel. In the last decade, background checks performed have doubled to more than 21 million, according to gun industry reports.
