Data on the SPIKE in background checks

The number for  Jan-Feb 2013 should be 4,781,529  (a 53.7% increase)

The ten highest weeks for background checks between Nov 30, 1998 and March 30, 2013 are ALL between 21/03/2012 and 2/25/2013.

That explains where a lot of the ammo that the DHS isn't buying is going.   Guns, parts and reloading supplies too.
