BJS has released "Trends for Background Checks for Firearm Transfers, 1999–2018: The First 20 Years of the Permanent Brady Act Period". This third-party report summarizes statistics at the FBI, state, and local levels on background checks that were conducted on over 237 million applications for firearm transfers or permits. It also details statistics on denials that resulted from background checks, rates of denial, reasons for denial, and other statistics from the first 20 years of the permanent Brady Act period, from 1999 through 2018. Additionally, the report summarizes changes in federal and state laws related to firearm transfers.

BJS began the Firearm Inquiry Statistics [ [link removed] ] program in 1995 to provide national estimates of the total number of firearm applications received and denied pursuant to the Brady Act and similar state laws.
