Continued from page 62 Firearm Business Still Increasing he industry continues to defy predictions of a drop in sales, with a continuing increase in the number of firearm background checks. For the first seven months of 2008, there was an 9.42 percent increase in background checks over the same months in 2007, according to the FBI’s NICS. As noted in our previous analysis of the NICS data, the increases this year are impressive since 2007 was a record-setting year in background checks. During the first seven months of 2008, NICS conducted 6,542,806 background checks, an increase of 563,291 over the same period in 2007. While the background-check data is not a “pure” indication of “sales,” it is the best indicator of what is happening nationally in the firearm market. Let’s face it, customers don’t go to gun shops to fill out a Form 4473 because they’re bored. They’re willing to go through the background check for only one reason: To buy a firearm. T Hunters See Plans Changing hile the number of firearm background checks continues to increase, hunters say the cost of gasoline will affect their plans this fall. On Remington’s Web site, www.remington.com, the company is asking “Will rising gas prices change your hunting plans for the coming season?” As of August 13, 17,798 votes had been registered, with 53.78 percent voting “Yes.” Will the recent easing of gas prices change the minds of some of those hunters? Let’s hope so. 9 W Cleaning Up With Iosso o you sell ARs? If so, you need to include Iosso’s AR-15 brushes as part of those sales.
