Sales of handguns and other weapons are setting records in many states. In January, the Federal Bureau of Investigation performed more than 4.3 million background checks related to firearm transfers – nearly 60 percent more than in January 2020.
Amid this surge, lawmakers and regulatory officials continue to juggle the needs of firearm owners, public safety professionals and the general public. In Nevada, safety advocates have asked the Legislature to restrict ownership further, including through licensing. In Indiana, some lawmakers would like to move in the opposite direction, eliminating licensure requirements for qualified people to carry concealed weapons.
Despite such differences, people across the political spectrum are united in the need to ensure that firearms are possessed only by people entitled to have them. To meet this need, regulatory officials need instant access to accurate data. They also need software that allows them to run background checks quickly, ensuring that sanctioned sales happen in a timely manner.
