People are still buying guns – LOTS of them. And more States are becoming Constitutional Carry States where your only license/permit is the Second Amendment of the US Constitution. What a concept – actually following the Constitution!
But guns and guns and even more guns are being sold – and not just to repeat owners:
The March 2022 NSSF-adjusted National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) figure of 1,669,578 is a decrease of 18.3 percent compared to the March 2021 NSSF-adjusted NICS figure of 2,044,136. For comparison, the unadjusted March 2022 FBI NICS figure 3,014,465 reflects a 35.1 percent decrease from the unadjusted FBI NICS figure of 4,645,609 in March 2021.
The March 2022 figures are the third strongest for the month on record, surpassed by March 2021 and March 2020.
While a drop over the last three years, it is still really strong. Twenty-four States already have Constitutional Carry and one more, Georgia (passed both the House and Senate and Gov Kemp is about to sign the bill), is about to come the 25th. Half the country will honor the “shall not be infringed” of our Rights.
