“SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Background checks related to U.S. firearm purchases suffered their deepest quarterly decline in over three years in July, suggesting a sales slump despite price discounts aimed at improving customer demand following President Donald Trump’s election.

U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation background checks in July fell 25 percent to 907,348, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation.
