NICS checks in the Trump Era: February 2017 Third Highest on Record

The NICS checks for February, 2017 were 2,234,817. That is the third highest number of NICS checks for any February. The highest was in 2016, with 2,613,074. The second highest February was in 2013, with 2,309,393. Both of those were driven by fear of strong gun control measures that might be passed by President Obama.

I was thinking that the down turn after the election was a pause due to the frenzy before the election (when most people thought the witch would be elected). I bought some S&W (American Outdoor Brands, symbol AOBC) after the election and some more a bit before the earnings. Not a great investment (so far), but I still think they can make hay over time. Good to see the NICS growth trend continues.
