Background checks for gun sales spiked 11 percent in June compared to last year, making it the busiest June ever, according to the FBI's background check data. Last month the FBI conducted nearly 1.53 million background checks, which are required for all in-store purchases, but not for sales at gun shows or between individuals.

I've suspected for a while that the non-Bloomberg gun control groups had to be in pretty bad shape. Not just because gun control is a losing issue, but because to whatever extent gun control was revived by the president's exploitation of the Sandy Hook massacre, most of that benefit has gone to Bloomberg's organization since everyone else seems to be getting ignored by the media. But to know for sure, we had to wait until the 2013 Form 990s were out.
