| LEGAL & LEGISLATION Virginia Senator Kaine Introduces Bill to Turn Innocent Mistakes into Felonies | |

| NEWS Summer 2015: New Record for Gun Sales? | |

There were more than 2.6 million firearm acquisition-related checks during June through August 2015, a figure 100,000 higher than was achieved during the 2013 surge, and well above the figures for any other year since NICS’ inception in November 1998. | |
