FBI: June 2020 Shattered Firearm Background Check Record

June 2020 witnessed nearly 4,000,000 National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) checks, shattering not only the record for any previous June but also the record for any single month, period.

FBI numbers showed 3,931,607 NICS checks conducted in June, besting the previous single-month record of 3,740,688 in March 2020.

This means June 2020 witnessed more background checks than any single month has witnessed in the 20 years background checks for retail sales have been required. This also means that June 2020 continues the trend of each month from March forward witnessing more checks in 2020 than it ever has.

In other words, January 2020 set the record for NICS checks for the month of January, February 2020 for the month of February, March 2020 for the month of March, and on and on through June 2020.

Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting examined the background check numbers and estimated 2,387,524 guns were sold in June 2020. That represents an increase of 145.3 percent over June 2019.

This just makes me happy.

With my CCW permit, I don't need a background check. Aw nuts, I didn't buy a gun in June. I thought about it, but I didn't do it.

Got the money, but think the one I looked at was overpriced. Don't NEED it, but that's never affected my decision making in the past. Still looking.

Ya think people are buying them so they have something to hand over to the gubbernment if Biden wins and the demorats get to drive the ship ??

one of them went to my grandson as a graduation gift

AMERICA!!!!!!!!

that or the light came on for them that the police aren't going to be there when they dial 911

I am almost saddened that I have not purchased a gun all year

I am buying my son a gun for his birthday this month , but it won't count since it is family too old to use it any more.

Im good for 2 of those.....Merica

I went to Bass Pro, and a local gun shop which sells a lot of guns. Their cupboards were all but bare.
Bass Pro really caught my eye. They have a gun rack behind the counter that has to be over 50 feet long and all they had was about 12 guns huddled up at the far end. The fifty foot long counter was all but bare of hand guns. I started to wonder if they were going in the same direction as Dick's did, but no, manufacturers can't build them fast enough to keep up with demand. The plague may be hampering manufacturing, i don't know.
