From The Firearm Blog: July's NICS Numbers Show We're Back In Business
After the election of 2024, gun sales showed a bit of a slump in 2025. Which is understandable. July of 2025 was the first time NICS checks has fallen below 1 million in 6 years. 2026 has shown a rebound.
The NSSF’s adjusted numbers show 1,061,883 relevant NICS queries in July of 2026. That’s a rise of 8.5 percent from last July, which was the first time in six years that NICS queries had dropped below a million.
With the tax cost for suppressors and SBRs falling to zero dollars, July also saw healthy NFA checks. Something that may or may not be possible to track going forward.
