From the NSSF . . .<\/p>\n
NSSF, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, revealed that the FBI\u2019s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) completed 680,671 background checks related to firearms for the week leading up to, and including, \u201cBlack Friday,\u201d one of the busiest shopping days of the year. That figure is down slightly from 2022\u2019s total of 711,372 for the same time period. The 2023 total is a 4.3 percent decrease from the 2022 figure.<\/p>\n
FBI NICS completed 214,913 background checks on \u201cBlack Friday\u201d alone. That is the highest figure recorded for a \u201cBlack Friday.\u201d The figure approximates firearm sales at retail on that day, although it also includes background checks for other purposes related to firearms such as approvals for concealed carry permits. NSSF will later this week release its Adjusted NICS figures for November reflecting only those background checks related to the sale of a firearm at retail.<\/p>\n
NSSF has worked with firearm retailers to spread out special sales offers to customers throughout the week leading up to \u201cBlack Friday\u201d so as not to overwhelm FBI NICS on a single day, which can result in longer than normal wait times.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe background checks reported by the FBI are in keeping with the trends NSSF has seen throughout the year. Firearm sales remain consistently strong, with over a million per month for more than four years running,\u201d explained Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. \u201cThese figures tell us that there is a continued strong appetite for lawful firearm ownership by law-abiding Americans and that firearm manufacturers across the country continue to deliver the quality firearms our customers have come to expect.\u201d<\/p>\n
Annual background check data shows that firearm sales will typically rise during the final months of the year coinciding with hunting seasons and holiday sales.<\/p>\n
Below are the breakout tables for each day of unadjusted FBI NICS background checks.<\/p>\n
