GUN PURCHASES IN THE USA STILL INCREASING

The FBI reports that January 2016 was the ninth consecutive month of record background checks for gun purchases in the U.S.

This trend began in May–when May witnessed more background checks than any May on record–and continued throughout the year as each following month–June through December–set a record as well. In other words, June 2015 had more background checks that any June on record, July 2015 more background checks than any July on record, and so on and so forth.
