We knew that sales of suppressors and other NFA items shot up last month as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act took effect and the $200 transfer tax dropped to zero, but now we have some hard numbers courtesy of the National Shooting Sports Foundation.
According to the NSSF, there were 206,871 NFA checks conducted by the ATF last month; an increase of 121.2 percent compared to the January 2025 figure of 93,518.
I'm actually a little surprised that figure isn't even higher, and I'm curious to see what the February numbers will be when they're released in early March. Is this close to the new normal, or do the January figures represent more of a one-time increase that will taper off in the months ahead.
Texas and Florida were the two states with the most NFA checks, with 26,248 and 14,264 checks respectively. There was a significant drop-off after that, with Virginia (8,874), North Carolina (8,831), and Georgia (8,661) rounding out the top five.
