NEWS NSSF-ADJUSTED NICS BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR AUGUST 2023 The August 2023 NSSFadjusted National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) figure of 1,117,824 is a decrease of 13.1 percent compared to the August 2022 figure of 1,286,816. For comparison, the unadjusted August 2023 FBI NICS figure 2,047,515 reflects a -16.4 per cent percent decrease from the unadjusted FBI NICS figure of 2,450,616 in August 2022. August 2023 marks the 49th month in a row that has exceeded 1 million adjusted background checks in a single month. Please note: Twenty-four states currently have at least one qualified alternative permit, which under the Brady Act allows the permitholder, who has undergone a background check to obtain the permit, to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer without a separate additional background check for that transfer. The number of NICS checks in these states does not include these legal transfers based on qualifying permits and NSSF does not adjust for these transfers. The adjusted NICS data were derived by subtracting out NICS purpose code permit checks and permit rechecks used by states for CCW permit application checks as well as checks on active CCW permit databases. Vortex donates $15,000 to RMEF NSSF started subtracting permit rechecks in February 2016. Though not a direct correlation to firearms sales, the NSSF-adjusted NICS data provide an additional picture of current market conditions. In addition to other purposes, NICS is used to check transactions for sales or transfers of new or used firearms. It should be noted that these statistics represent the number of firearm background checks initiated through the NICS. They do not represent the number of firearms sold or sales dollars. Based on varying state laws, local market conditions and purchase scenarios, a oneto-one correlation cannot be made between a firearm background check and a firearm sale. For additional information on NICS or to view a complete set of the current monthly reports, please visit the NICS website. Questions concerning NSSF-adjusted NICS data should be directed to NSSF. Members are able to access historical monthly NICS data by logging in and clicking on “Industry Research”, then “NICS data”. +1 203-426-1320 research@nssf.org www.nssf.org/research RUSAN RELEASES 2.5X MAGNIFICATION EYEPIECE FOR OBSERVATION WITH CLIP-ON DEVICES Vortex has announced that it has made a $15,000 donation to the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. The money was generated through the sale of special edition, Vortex Crafted Impact apparel. A collaboration between a rotating group of artistic creators and organisations, Vortex Crafted Impact was developed to give hunters and shooters an easy way to support the places and things we love. These limited run apparel drops showcase original art that brings awareness – and every purchase dollar ¬– to groups and initiatives important to the hunting and shooting community. “You’d be hard-pressed to find a group more committed to putting their money where their mouth is than the hunting and shooting communities,” says Sawyer Briel, Vortex Marketing Communications Manager. “Time after time, they’re eager to answer the call and support things critical to improving wildlife habitat and preserving our second amendment rights. Crafted Impact started as an idea and grew into a tangible way for all of us to give back. Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation was a clear choice to kick things off, and we can’t wait to reveal what else we have in store.” To make sure Vortex Crafted Impact items are always in high demand – which helps maximise the charitable purchase dollars given to organisations and causes – special product releases are currently limited to one new launch per year. www.vortexoptics.com If your customers want to use their thermal-vision or night-vision clip-on device for observation but the device has no observation mode, or no digital zoom option, Rusan has come up with an ingenious solution. It is a 2.5x magnification eyepiece, ready to be connected to a Rusan modular connector. You just click and lock it on the modular connector and the device is ready for observation. It is much lighter and shorter than the 3x version, which was released in 2022. www.rusan.hr 10 WWW.GUNTRADEWORLD.COM
