NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — The year 2016 is still on pace to set a record for background checks for gun purchases, according to new data from the FBI.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported on Wednesday that there were 2,145,865 background checks in April. That’s the slowest month so far this year, but it’s a 25% increase from April 2015.
Background checks in every month this year have made double digit gains over 2015, which had a record number of requests for background checks. If the current pace keeps up, 2016 will beat last year’s record.

So do I. Sweet shooter, too.
Obama’s only achievement.
I got a Ruger 22/45 LITE to which I am going to add a suppressor once it gets out of ATF jail in another 2 months (hopefully??). Also added a Vortex Venom red dot.
Will be a nice all around package.
Wonderful. I recommend self protection for you and your families in Cleveland when the communists attack the convention.
This means prices are not going to go down on that Daniels Defence AR I’ve been coveting?
Picked up a surplus Yugoslavian/Serbian 9mm for near pocket change so I have one in those numbers too.
I just picked up a 44-40 Henry repro at the Sandy, UT gun show and added my name to that number.
Also learned something new. I live in Arizona and had a Utah CCW, but still had to undergo a background check. When I asked why, the dealer said that I was only allowed to carry concealed in Utah, not buy without a check.
That crap has got to go.
Probably not!
(I rarely see discounted DD carbines.)
Mr. niteowl77
Looks like H->! is on her way to be gun sales(your choice of one of the 57 genders here) of the year for 2016.
I would have added to the number but couldn’t find the gun I want.I’m looking for a semi-auto RPK.
” ... still had to undergo a background check. When I asked why, the dealer said that I was only allowed to carry concealed in Utah, not buy without a check.”
The NICS check is a federal requirement, and must be accomplished for all gun purchases from a federally licensed dealer (there are some states and locales that mandate a more stringent standard, and in those places the NICS check is not needed. But there are not many).
Issuance of permits to carry a pistol concealed is subject to state and in some cases local law. Requirements differ for each state.
“Possession” (as in keeping or carrying) is distinct from “transfer” (purchase or the acceptance of a prize).
Thus we are faced with the situation that in some states, persons of age 18 to 21 may carry a concealed pistol, but cannot purchase a handgun unless they are 21 or over.
If anyone is inclined to make sense of this, I would advise not to waste the time. The intersection of law, politics, bureaucratic regulation, and public sentiment is a strange place. Expect anything to happen.
Every one of those buyers should be a voter against the Clintoon who will try to take away their guns!
The American people are not buying guns in record numbers because they intend on surrendering them to the government, the American people are buying guns in record numbers because they intend to fight for liberty.
Persons aged 16 and above can carry concealed with no license in my state. Those younger than 16 only need a parental permission slip.
A record number of Americans are buying guns because of BiRacial Hussein Obama policies on terrorism, not because of mass shootings by white people. There has been more than 90 ISIS inspired attacks in the United States since 2012.
