| FBI Stats Indicate Americans Buying Guns at ‘Blistering Pace’: Expert |
| 2021-02-05 |
| [EpochTimes] Newly released FBI background check data from January shows Americans are buying guns at a “blistering pace,” a firearms expert said. “That’s undoubtedly connected to President Joe Biden’s plans to attack the firearm industry by undoing and rewriting regulations and executive actions to target the firearm industry,” Mark Olivia, director of public affairs at the National Shooting Sports Foundation, said in a statement. Olivia pointed to the freezing of the publication of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s “Fair Access” banking rule, and promises to seek to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act to tighten restrictions on gun licenses and a ban on AR-15-style rifles by the Biden administration. The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request by The Epoch Times for comment. According to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check (NCIS) data, 4.3 million firearm background checks were initiated in January. That’s the highest number on record, and up more than 300,000 in comparison to December 2020. Three of the top 10 highest weeks are now from January 2021. |

| #4 Spoter B - hence many smarter people, years ago, took the time to sell their ATF registered firearms in PRIVATE Sales. An purchase excellent condition used firearms the same way. Can only begin to guess how many private sales I have seen at gun shows and Firing ranges. |

| #1 Interesting how our Fed's continue to track Guns and related Electronic Data long after the law states the Electronic data records are to be erased. The legal responsibility of FED's NICS group is to erase such data in a very short period of time I think it is less than 5 days. BTW: Why are written records kept for 20 years when statues of Limitation would have expired for every crime under the US Criminal Code except Murder and 1 or 2 others? |
