From NSSF, we find that gun sales in December were up again, based on the number of NICS checks performed during the month. Look out, I have graphs.
You are reading that correctly, it says 1.5 million NICS checks compared to under 1.3 million in both 2006 and 2007. The statistical data bears out the all the anecdotal data I’ve been hearing and seeing myself from packed gun shops and a completely jammed Indy 1500 Gun Show.
…and remember folks (at least those folks that live in states that don’t have silly laws like 1 gun a month or a purchase permit per pistol)
1 NICS check can equal 1 firearm purchase or 50 🙂
That’s a very good point, actually and something I hadn’t considered.
And the ATF can’t keep up with the demand for the 4473 forms.
