More Guns Bought in April in US Than Any April Before
The number of guns bought in the month of April surpassed any April on record, according to an analysis of FBI background check data.
Over 3.5 million checks were done across the month, according to the newly released NCIS background check data.
Background checks are done for both permitting and buying firearms.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), a firearm industry trade association, said adjusted figures show 1.69 million checks were done for buying guns. That’s a record high for the month of April, an increase of nearly 1 percent from April 2020.
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed legislation into law on Friday lifting some restrictions to buy or carry a handgun in the state for law-abiding citizens.
