The number of NICS checks in these states does not include these legal transfers based on qualifying permits and NSSF does not adjust for these transfers.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, the states of Alabama and Michigan had law changes that affected their Brady Law standing which removed qualifying alternate permits usage for firearm transactions. These changes went into effect July 22, 2019 for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atf.gov\/firearms\/docs\/open-letter\/alabama-july2019-public-safety-advisory-alabama-federal-firearms-licensees\/download\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"april-2021-another-record-month-for-gun-sales\" title=\"April 2021: Another Record-Setting Month for Gun Sales!\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Alabama<\/strong><\/a><strong><u>,&nbsp;<\/u><\/strong>and&nbsp;March 3, 2020 for<a href=\"https:\/\/nssfpdf.s3.amazonaws.com\/MichiganPublicSafetyAdvisory.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"april-2021-another-record-month-for-gun-sales\" title=\"April 2021: Another Record-Setting Month for Gun Sales!\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Michigan<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong>&nbsp;In April 2020, Alabama state\u2019s NSSF-adjusted NICS was&nbsp;<strong>263.0<\/strong>&nbsp;percent higher than April 2019, which accounts for an additional&nbsp;<strong>35,564<\/strong>&nbsp;checks over this time last year.

NSSF started subtracting permit rechecks in February 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though not a direct correlation to firearms sales, the NSSF-adjusted NICS data provide an additional picture of current market conditions. In addition to other purposes, NICS is used to check transactions for sales or transfers of new or used firearms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be noted that these statistics represent the number of firearm background checks initiated through the NICS. They do not represent the number of firearms sold or sales dollars. Based on varying state laws, local market conditions and purchase scenarios, a one-to-one correlation cannot be made between a firearm background check and a firearm sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More from Mark Oliva, NSSF Director of Public Affairs: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>NSSF\u2019s Adjusted National Instant Criminal Background of nearly 1.7 million background checks in April was the strongest April on record and is on pace with the background checks that we\u2019ve seen for more than a year. Background checks for firearm sales were nearly one percent higher than April 2020. Firearm sales remain elevated on two distinct concerns. Americans are buying firearms for concerns for personal safety and for White House and Congressional efforts to limit and deny the ability to purchase certain firearms. The continued gun control statements by President Biden, many of which have been fact-checked and debunked as false, are driving sales.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>April marked 13 months of elevated firearm sales which have ranged between 1.5 million and 2 million each month. Firearm sales spiked in March 2020 and have remained at unprecedented levels since. It\u2019s a remarkable feat of firearm manufacturers to keep pace with this blistering demand.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About NSSF<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The National Shooting Sports Foundation is the trade association for the firearms industry.
