The report suggested that the nation’s second largest bank turned the private information over voluntarily rather than in response to a subpoena.

There were more than 2.7 million checks in January 2020 and that was a record. At that time, no one knew what the rest of 2020 would hold. At that time, breaking three million NICS checks in a single month was a rarity…though it became commonplace by the end of the year.
