As expected in last month’s article, gun sales increased in October. According to the figures released by the FBI National Instant Background Check System (NICS), gun sales were about 1.33 million for October 2023, roughly a nine percent increase over the gun sales figures for October 2022. 1.33 million gun sales make October 2023 the third-highest October for gun sales. Checks done in the NICS system in October 2023 were about 2.26 million, making October 2023 the sixth-highest number of checks done in October since the first October in the system was recorded in 1999.
The number of gun sales and NICS checks is not a 1 to 1 ratio. Many more NICS checks are done than firearm sales. NICS checks are done for gun permits and for other purposes. One NICS check can be used to sell more than one gun. People with qualifying permits in 25 states can use their carry permit to purchase guns without going through additional NICS checks. The number of NICS checks done per gun sold varies above and below about two NICS checks for each gun sold.

How many “known got-aways?
I hope lots and lots. The less the stasi thugs in the fbi know about the better. They should fear We the People.
Yuppers!
I read this article yesterday on a MSM news line and I heard Libtards Heads explode from Sea to Shineing Sea !
American Civilians are a standing
Army in and of itself!

Good Job Dean !
That is excellent! Those are major gains.
I would never suggest that we drop our vigilance for even a moment but we (2nd A. supporters) have made a lot of significant gains in the last twenty years or so.
IMO pessimism is not warranted and not helpful so I like to re-post some good news now and then.
Dean is Mainstream now !
Good Job !
I read the other day that elderly women are purchasing guns for protection. So I suspect others who are concerned about what is going on in our great country are preparing for defense.
