The NSSF-adjusted National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) numbers came in at 1,197,294. That&#8217;s a 5.6% decrease from January last year. Even the unadjusted FBI figures dropped by 16.6% compared to the same month in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But here&#8217;s the kicker \u2013 January marks the 54th straight month where adjusted checks exceeded 1 million. That&#8217;s over four years of consistent, high interest in firearms month after month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we dive deeper, here\u2019s a quick heads-up. Those numbers don&#8217;t tell the whole story. They don&#8217;t count the legal transfers based on qualifying permits in 24 states. If you&#8217;ve got the right permit, you can skip the extra background check when buying from a dealer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-saf-fpc-push-for-high-court-to-revisit-maryland-s-semi-auto-ban\">SEE ALSO:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/saf-fpc-push-for-high-court-to-revisit-marylands-semi-auto-ban\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"background-checks-in-january-indicate-steady-interest-in-gun-ownership-despite-dip\" title=\"Background Checks in January Indicate Steady Interest in Gun Ownership Despite Dip\"> SAF, FPC Push for High Court to Revisit Maryland\u2019s Semi-Auto Ban<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The NSSF takes the raw data and gives it a trim to get their adjusted figures. They cut out the checks that states use for concealed carry permits and ongoing permit validations. This tweak started back in 2016 to give a clearer picture of the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, remember, a background check doesn&#8217;t always equal a gun sale. With different state laws and market conditions, it&#8217;s like comparing apples and oranges. But these checks are a solid pulse on how many folks are looking to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark Oliva, the NSSF&#8217;s managing director of public affairs, chimed in on the trend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>January\u2019s nearly 1.2 background checks for the sale of a firearm at retail shows that America\u2019s desire to exercise Second Amendment rights continues into 2024. For four-and-a-half years, more than 1 million background checks have been completed each and every month. This is happening this year against a backdrop of the Biden administration weaponizing nearly every lever of government to suppress Second Amendment rights by law-abiding citizens. These figures show that Americans rejects these infringements and instead choose their rights.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>So, despite a slight drop in the numbers, it looks like the American spirit for 2A rights isn&#8217;t cooling off anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"background-checks-in-january-indicate-steady-interest-in-gun-ownership-despite-dip\" title=\"Background Checks in January Indicate Steady Interest in Gun Ownership Despite Dip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That&#8217;s a 5.6% decrease from January last year.
