Gun Sales Top 1 Million For The 34th Straight Month

May became the 34th straight month that civilian gun sales topped over 1 million.

The FBI said that they conducted 2,349,383 background checks in May – 1,174,791 were tied to the sale of a firearm.

This was the third-highest number of background checks conducted in May.

The Washington Examiner reported:

“Background checks for firearm sales remain strong. May marks 34 months that background checks for the sale of a firearm exceeded 1 million,” said Mark Oliva, spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, which represents gun-makers.

“Americans continue to buy firearms for personal safety. These gun owners are law-abiding Americans who use their firearms for lawful purposes daily,” he added.
