Let&#8217;s just say that if I had an investment that went up that much I&#8217;d be ecstatic! Compared to December 2014, the NSSF-adjusted NICS checks rose 37.6%. This wasn&#8217;t the highest December on record &#8211; that was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nssf.org\/bulletpoints\/view.cfm?Iyr=2014&amp;Bissue=010614.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">December 2012<\/a> &#8211; but it missed hitting the all-time December high by only about 2,000 checks out of over 2.2 million.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>The December 2015 NSSF-adjusted National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) figure of 2,235,560 is an increase of 37.6 percent compared to the December 2014 NSSF-adjusted NICS figure of 1,624,524. For comparison, the unadjusted December 2015 FBI NICS figure of 3,308,199 reflects a 43.7 percent increase from the unadjusted FBI NICS figure of 2,301,386 in December 2014.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can see the increase graphically below. Look at December 2015 and December 2012 in particular. Both months saw a tremendous surge in anticipation of more gun control coming from the Obama Administration.
