The chart below shows yearly totals for NICS checks done in the month of March. Many, if not most of us are aware of the increases. For 7 years the numbers stayed about the same, but the last 7 years saw the numbers double. I haven't heard the antis even acknowledge the increases, much less attempt to explain them away. Did I miss any ingenious insight on these numbers?
