It's Sickening How Many Guns Were Sold on Black Friday

7. I'm just waiting for people to realize.....

I'm just waiting for people to realize that number is off by (IMHO) 25-45%.


NICS is a point of sale event. It doesn't take into account orders from online retailers, because those checks won't be run until the FFL makes the transfer.

It doesn't take into account multiple items being bought in the same transaction. This summer, I had ordered a lever action .22. Academy had informed me that it was in, and while waiting, I saw a nifty Wrangler in the case. Two 4473's, one NICS. (funny story about that, but I doubt anyone here wants to hear it. )

With the be prices I saw advertised, I imagine there was a lot of both online (PSA had some good deals) and multiple items sales at the LGS.
