Some amazing numbers from the latest FBI NICS report:
July 2016 NICS checks numbers are in and are up 37% vs. 2015 (2.2 million vs. 1.6 million)
Year to date NICS checks are up 32.8% vs. 2015 (16.0 million vs. 12.1 million)
Ever month this year has been an all-time record for that month.
Assuming we keep this pace, NICS checks will have risen 7 of 8 years of the Obama presidency and will be 2.4x the annual rate of when he took office.
