The firearms sales quoted are always very low compared to actual sales. They always quote background checks but those with Concealed Weapons Permit don't go through a background check since the permit is revoked if any offense is committed that would prohibit one from purchasing a gun.
And depending on where you live, (((criminal offenses))) for a background check include: unpaid parking tickets, unpaid tolls, misdemeanors and a host of non crimes being treated as such. I remember there was a guy in Colorado who could NOT buy a gun because he had an unpaid parking ticket. He needed to go to pay his parking ticket before NICS would clear him.
