Year-end figures from the FBI show there were over 31 million National Instant Criminal Background Check System background checks conducted in 2022 and over 16 million guns sold.nearly 31.5 million NICS checks were conducted in 2022. The National Shooting Sports Foundation’s Mark Oliva noted that of those nearly 30 million background checks, 16,425,484 were for gun sales.
The 16,425,484 background checks for gun purchases make 2022 the third highest year on record of NICS checks for gun sales. The NICS checks beyond the 16,425,484 were conducted for concealed carry permit applicants and holders in certain states. Guns transferred or bought by concealed carry permit holders in states where permits allow individuals to forgo NICS checks at point of purchase are not included in the 16,425,484 sales figure. Therefore, the actual number of gun sales for 2022 may actually be much higher.

All 31 million were felons
Biden's economy is strong due to the sale and distribution of weapons home and abroad.
Pistol braces were made illegal by the ATF on August '22. 40,000,000 have been sold in the US. $200 stamp to own one now. Did they send out a memo to law abiding citizens from the 4473 data they have been illegally keeping?
FordFleetRacing Fun Fact 59332... The Communist Democrats still haven't figured it out yet. When they say we're coming for your weapons, Americans buy more weapons legally 😂🤣 Except for the criminals, they don't follow the laws.
You bet your ass I believe in the 2nd amendment. I need it in case trash like yourselves ever give a greaser like me a hard time.
muggs_mulligan I've owned and shot guns for over 50 years. My total number of people shot still stands at 0.
N they want to “confiscate” them? Yeah good luck with that. This is their biggest fear, We the People get together against them. That’s why they’re so desperate to divide us, giving into a small group of lunatics demands. In 1861 patitos said enough. Don’t b surprised.
Abolish the ATF
How many of the almost 50% of denied applicants were prosecuted?
How ever will they check the hoards flooding through your southern border?
Yes
Damn straight we do!! Growing up my Father hunted to put meat on the table!! We were brought up with guns and respected them!! Never thought of doing any harm to anyone !!
how many rejected?
Thank goodness for the back ground checks....ha
Gotta up those numbers!
Not enough sold. We must do better.
We have to protect ourselves now more than Ever!
At least 8 million sold to ultra maga militia men and women
Keeps “we the people” free
I think this explains why gun control activism has gone way up recently. Can't let the proletariat have ways of defending themselves or overthrow authoritarian rule.
Who is running a check but not getting a gun?
The only reason the government would seek to ban guns after 246 years; is because they plan to do something you’d shoot them for. Think about that.
Wrong , we don't like guns , we Love FREEDOM. And unfortunately our government don't like us having it
You're not trying people! Get those numbers up.
Not nearly enough.
🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫👍👍👍👍👍
I bought another and began carrying it. Too many nutty people in the world.
One or two of those might be mine
Rookie numbers.
Every individual has the right to say, 'Don't tread on me.' (y)
Background checks violate the the Constitution... the Gov has no buisness knowing who buys what when it comes to guns
I disagree. More and More Americans believe they might have to Defend their Freedom from Tyranny. That isn't Love, that's Patriotism.
Our founding fathers weren’t protecting hunters ability to get firearms, they were protecting the people’s ability to defend from governmental over-reach.
Buckle up Buttercups !
If you ever wanted proof that the FBI is tracking your weapons and not criminals there it is.
The attempt to outlaw guns in America is what is causing this substantial rise in gun sales?
Gee I wonder why? 🤔 Could it be all the illegal immigrants entering our country?
16 Million that we know about ;)
Good. ❤️
Looks like a lot of infringement to me. Everyone should carry.
Sad, uninformed headline Many gun owners, sans hunters, only have guns because they don't trust the gov 2 allow us 2 remain free & because the same politicians do such a bad job at controlling crime It's not 'love' of guns, it's need for, Life, Liberty & the pursuit of Happiness
If you believed the “Big Lie” why wouldn’t you bring bombs & guns to attack our Capitol Jan 6?
They approved less than 50% of requests- not a win, not a win at all- in fact it’s oppression of our rights.
Isn’t this the ATFs job?
Finally, some good news. IamNRA ComeAndTakeIt
Statistically speaking what percent of the FBI is corrupt 30% or more?
And more no bail,defunding and tying cops hands equals more need to self protect.
