| July highest all-time for background checks on firearm sales |
| 2010-08-12 |
| Unadjusted data released by the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) reported 1,069,792 checks in July 2010, ranking the month the highest July for most NICS checks. This figure represents an increase of 10.7 percent over checks in July 2009. The total number of background checks reported since the beginning of NICS is 118,006,677. (FBI NICS disclaimer: These figures indicate the number of background checks requested. They do not indicate firearm transfers.) As NICS can be used for a variety of purposes such as state permit checks on CCW databases and applications, NSSF has created an adjusted monthly NICS figure by subtracting out the "permit" column on the monthly NICS purpose code reports. The July 2010 adjusted NICS figure of 628,125 is an increase of 4.3 percent over the adjusted figure of 602,353 in July 2009. As more states use NICS to check new CCW applicants and their active CCW databases, NSSF feels by subtracting the NICS checks used for "permit" checks, it will give a more accurate and reliable indicator of current market conditions. |

| #5 I load my own, got all the equipment, lead bricks, Molds powders and primers I will ever need (At least for the forseeable future) NOT reloading for other folks, just me and my family. (It's illegal to send reloads thru the mail anyway.) some years ago the government was trying to put serial numbers on each cartridge shell, I accumulated reloading equipment Buller Molds powders and primers for all calibers I thought practical, no.25 no.50 but everything in between. Since then the measure was defeated as Against the "You shall NOT provision of freedom to Bear arms and while that particular measure was defeated, I feel safer being able to arm my family in a crisis, so I still have all the components necessary, and reload as needed. No ammo shortage for me and Mine. While we are able, we buy ammo, but should the need arise I'm prepared, I highly recommend that you do Likewise. |
