Over half of the National Instant background Check System checks are done for purposes other than for purchasing a firearm. Most of those are for gun permit checks and gun permit rechecks.

Two states, Illinois and Kentucky, routinely check all permit holders once a month or more, using the NICS system. In 2020, Illinois alone accounted for 8.47 million NICS checks, but only accounted for 534,000 firearms sold.

Thanks. I did not know that. I stand corrected on my previous comment.
