Commercial Gun Sales in September
Data from the NSSF (National Shooting Sports Foundation):
- NSSF-ADJUSTED NICS BACKGROUND CHECKS . . . The September 2014 NSSF-adjusted National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) figure of 1,024,272 is the second highest September on record for the 16-year-old system, even with a decrease of 1.0 percent compared to the September 2013 NSSF-adjusted NICS figure of 1,034,701. For comparison, the unadjusted September 2014 NICS figure of 1,447,485 reflects a 4.0 percent increase from the unadjusted NICS figure of 1,392,423 in September 2013.
Over one million law-abiding citizens voluntarily paid a $5.00 fee last month, for nothing more than to prove that they are scrupulous. That's over $5M bucks to placate the bureaucracy! And yet there are people still worried about gun owners being a threat to society... They should be more worried about the people that didn't pass a NICS last month!
