Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I was in Florida last week for work and I heard a news report that November through January federal background check s were down nationally with the decline coming from a few southern states. They didn't mention any states that had increases. I thought it very interesting reporting. I went intoi a gunshop in Florida and it was just like in Denver. Mags for $60 and rifles priced toohigh.

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Checks were down in January from December, which was the highest number in history.Originally Posted by OneGuy67
At least according to this news story, they were down the last quarter of 2012, which just doesn't jive with what we have seen and are seeing in Colorado, which is why I thought it was a strange story. I can't find the relevant facts on the FBI's website, so I can't verify what the story said. It was on the news that AM talk radio plays every top of the hour.
