March 2020 Firearm Background Checks Shatter Single Month Record Login/Join

FBI figures released Wednesday show March 2020 shattered the single month record for the number of National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) checks conducted in one month.

FBI numbers account for 3,740,688 background checks last month, shattering the record of 3,314,594, set in December 2015; the only other time NICS checks crossed the three million threshold for a single month.

Moreover, the number of checks conducted in March 2020 represent a nearly 30 percent increase over the number conducted in March 2019, and that period witnessed the second highest number of checks of any March in history up to that point.

For many reasons background checks alone cannot be used to determine the number of guns sold.

For example, a check is conducted on the person, not the gun. Also, a person can buy more than one gun on passing a check, so the number of checks may be far below the number of guns sold.

And many states regularly run their concealed concealed permit holders through NICS checks to be sure criminal records remain clear. First-time permit applicants are also run through the NICS system.

Each month, the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) “[subtracts] out NICS purpose code permit checks and permit rechecks used by states for CCW permit application checks as well as checks on active CCW permit databases” to come up with a baseline of checks for gun sales.

After adjusting for permit checks and renewals the NSSF reported a figure of 2,375,525 NICS checks for March 2020 versus 1,317,114 for March 2019. Those figures show an 80.4 percent increase in background checks in March 2020 versus March 2019.

Many states allow gun purchases to CHL/LTC holders without NICS checks, so there is a disconnect there if counting guns sold.

Yes, I saw that. I posted a reason that did not appear in that list.

It's amazing how cyclical the gun business is.

Just a few months ago I was feeling sorry for our local store guy because his Black Friday was a flop, and he was sitting on loads of inventory, including case upon case of 9mm.

Now his shelves are empty.

Commies in Massachusetts have fixed the problem of gun sales by closing stores and banning the required class to get licenses.

My LGS closed the doors in January.....

My buddy back in NC shut his doors last year...

The brick and mortar store was severely hurt by the internet.

But I’m glad that more people are using their God given rights and protecting themselves.

One gun store in my area closed because of the virus. The ones that remained open have no inventory. They’ve been cleaned out and can’t get more guns at reasonable prices

It's pretty sickening what they've done. Here's some pics that describe it best...





Keep in mind the training class is required to apply for license to carry in MA...




These go to eleven.

Just wondering regarding this outrageous abuse of power/overreach by MASShole politicians, has other 'virtual training' been banned in MA, or is it just firearms training that's banned? Roll Eyes
