NSSF-Adjusted NICS Background Checks For June 2016

The June 2016 NSSF-adjusted National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) figure of 1,140,088 is an increase of 28.6 percent compared to the June 2015 NSSF-adjusted NICS figure of 886,825. For comparison, the unadjusted June 2016 FBI NICS figure of 2,123,334 reflects an 39.8 percent increase from the unadjusted FBI NICS figure of 1,518,852 in June 2015.

The adjusted NICS data were derived by subtracting out NICS purpose code permit checks and permit rechecks used by several states such as Connecticut, Illinois, and Utah for CCW permit application checks as well as checks on active CCW permit databases. NSSF started subtracting permit rechecks in February 2016.

Though not a direct correlation to firearms sales, the NSSF-adjusted NICS data provide an additional picture of current market conditions. Read more
