Background checks for handguns hit a new high for California in March, just months after yearly handgun sales in 2014 broke a 21-year record in California, as well.

On April 4, a 45-year-old man allegedly forced his way into a Boyd County, Kentucky, home, “engaged in a physical altercation with the homeowner,” and was then shot to death by that same homeowner.

Handgun sales in California broke a 21-year-old record in 2014, and at the same time, firearm-related murders fell to their lowest rate in over 20 years.
