And still going strong, 47 months in a row!
Via NSSF:
The June 2023 NSSF-adjusted National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) figure of 1,110,696 is a decrease of 19.6 percent compared to the June 2022 NSSF-adjusted NICS figure of 1,382,287. For comparison, the unadjusted June 2023 FBI NICS figure 2,152,187 reflects a 14.8 percent decrease from the unadjusted FBI NICS figure of 2,527,308 in June 2022. June marks the 47th month in a row that has exceeded 1 million adjusted background checks in a single month. “Americans have another million reasons to celebrate this Independence Day,” explained NSSF’s Mark Oliva to media. “This is notable because these figures buck the demands by gun control politicians to surrender rights. They are keeping alive the vision of our Founding Fathers that this would be a nation that celebrates the ethos of a responsibly armed citizenry.”
