NICS checks exceed 2 million monthly 2019
.
Gun Background Check Record: 2+ Million Checks Each Month of 2019
Over two million background checks for gun sales were conducted during each of the first six months of 2019.
This marks the first time over two million checks have been conducted during each of the first six months of a given year in the history of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).
FBI figures show 2,165,094 background checks were performed in January, followed by 2,053,886 in February, and 2,644,851 in March. There were 2,334,249 checks in April, 2,349,309 in May, and 2,312,309 in June.
Background check numbers were over two million for each of the first five months of 2018, and each of the first four months of 2017 and 2016. Yet no year except 2019 has witnessed over two million each month for the first six months.
The number of background checks performed is not a precise indicator of the number of guns sold, and that is because the check is performed on the person rather than the gun. This means a person who passes a background check may purchase multiple guns during one trip to the gun store.
Moreover, some states perform background checks on concealed carry licensees, and those figures are contained in the overall numbers reported month-to-month by the FBI.Last edited by middlefinger; July 10th, 2019 at 05:38 PM.

Just wait till next month. California is now requiring a background check every time you buy a box of ammo.

Re: NICS checks exceed 2 million monthly 2019
That sounds like a lot, until you realize that we have 325 million people living here, probably 200+ million adults, meaning that only 1 out of every 100 people is buying a gun per month, or 12 per year. That's not a huge constituency. 1% is about the number of Jews or LGBT folks, and 12% per year is less than the percentage of blacks or Hispanics.
For a gun-loving country, we're under-performing.Attorney Phil Kline, AKA gunlawyer001@gmail.com

Re: NICS checks exceed 2 million monthly 2019
How many are repeat buyers vs. first time buyers? How many guns can one continue to buy? (Except Cruzans). I have slowed down and have only bought one this year. Pretty much have everything covered from my perspective. Even slowed buying ammo because I haven't been shooting much.

Wonder how much money Kalyvornja will spend on the ammo bc requirement, and how much they will charge the ammo purchaser for the "service". Wonder if there will spring from that a maximum ammo allowed law. And restrictions on the kind of ammo (gotta curtail them cop-killer designs).
There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.
